We all saw how strong their bonds were. Also sent both to promotion rivals. They both may well be promotion rivals - to each other. I don't get the expectation levels, we don't have any promotion rivals imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing letting him go and cashing in, another doing a loan to a rival. I wouldn't have said that getting Patterson was doing them any favours but I agree with the general point you are making.

He just couldn't stop himself picking them and knew he needed help. It's the kind of intervention that's needed for any self-destructive addiction.

Loosey Boy Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 20 minutes ago, Dan Robin said: Strange move. Maybe a matter of wages reduction after Afobe? Exactly my thoughts, based on the fact that Afobe deal nearly collapsed due to cost of the BA loan/personal terms - hence why I think that this deal and the one for Pack have happened right at the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenkibby. Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 As far as I can see this the gamble we must take. As good as Pats or Pack might have been playing for us they are not good enough to take us to the level we all want. Will the new boys be good enough? I don't know, nobody dose. If Johnson is as good as he thinks the potential here now is incredible. All I can say I like the way the club is going. Would imagine things will be tough for the first few weeks but hopefully will be such a different HOME Team this season given time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Seems a curious one. Was pretty good at least decent in terms of returns from sometime in December last season. @DerbyFan if you ever bump into Cocu, tell him that out wide is his best position, as a '10' behind Marriott or Waghorn- or both- it just won't cut it- you're welcome.

cidercity1987 Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Surprised at this, pretty underrated by the fanbase imo and looked decent on Sunday. Much rather we got rid of O’Dowda or Adelukan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston Red Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 If you watch the Paterson interview on the Derby website, he looks and sounds as sick as a dog. His smile is completely fake and his face is misery itself. He keeps forcing himself to say the right words but they stick in his throat and he cannot help drifting into how much he loved it at City, when his mood immediately lightens. I couldn't actually sit through the whole interview, because it was costing me the will to live. He made Theresa May look like Coco the Clown.

This morning, according to the Derby Telegraph, the plan was to bring in two players, apparently a right winger and an attacking midfielder, I had to laugh because our official site in the article about Paterson it says: Quote and can play in various attacking roles, either out wide or from a central position. that sounds like we've decided one player can cover the lot instead!

It's mentioned in the interview. I hope he does well for you. He can light up a football pitch. Dig around on Youtube for City 4 Derby 1 and he gets the third goal and a beautiful 50 yard assist for the fourth. Also there is a freakish banana shot in Sheff Utd 1 Bristol City 2 and another beautiful curler in City 2 Reading 0. We were told when he came he was brilliant on his day but inconsistent. From Aug - Dec 2017 he was brilliant for us, helping us to the League Cup semis and second in the league, but has done absolutely nothing since, despite playing every week and being give the luxurious free-roaming ten role.
