The Real Maroonblood Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Slapping wee Sam in the nuts was literally below the belt though!! He played well in a very poor united side.

AlimOzturk Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I like Ryan McGowan and would be a useful squad player. Certainly would enhance our squad options as well as bring an excellent attitude to the squad. However Patterson for me is far superior in all aspects of the game.

Mikey1874 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Paterson might end up playing centre half but its not really a comparing of right back and centre half. I was never that impressed by McGowan at Hearts. I don't know if that is McGowan settled as centre half for Dundee United now or he was just covering.

Romulus Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Limited ability is as nice as you could put it. Paterson will be a much better player than him once he improves defensively, he is already better than McGowan in all other aspects. Strange that anyone would want him back as I don't think he would get a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange that anyone would want him back as I don't think he would get a game. He'd get a game alright. The guy is a very good player at this level. I liked him at Hearts, but he has grown a lot since, as you would expect when a player plays against guys like Sterling in European ties and looks good against Holland in the World Cup.

Mikey1874 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 He's really not played at centre half that much. Therea been a lot said recently about centre halves re Scotland, Jordan McGhee not being ready etc - a lot of debate re centre halves taking longer to develop. Maybe Ryan is just at the start of finally developing as the centre half people said years ago is his position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Buck Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 As things stand, McGowan is miles ahead of Paterson. Paterson is younger and will no doubt keep improving and play at a higher level though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
269miles Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 RM is obviously the (much) more experienced of the two but Paterson is clearly the better footballer and more versatile. Nothing against RM but Paterson simply offers more , even at this early stage of his career , and will hopefully go on to greater things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange that anyone would want him back as I don't think he would get a game. Why are we all so sure Paterson will improve defensively? He's not that young and he's had a lot of games? I'm not entirely convinced he will ever be a right back... More a right sided midfielder.. He's better going forward that's gowser and has all the attributes to be a better player but he isn't at this precise moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChunkyCharlie Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 He's really not overrated. Won the Scottish cup with a Hearts team that had the best defence in Scotland, and has played at a World Cup against the likes of Robben, Xavi and Sanchez. Paterson is pretty much a younger version and will get to that level one day. McGowan's a better player but they're both extremely athletic footballers. He hates Hibs too. You really do talk some shite! How did we have the best defence in Scotland? Seriously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly best defence in Scotland though. Good but let's be realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungalow Bill Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I'd take Gowser back in a heart beat. I'd play him centre half, it would also be good to have someone seriously challenging Paterson too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Was at the game too in the lower section and I just felt like he was unecessarily getting involved with everything, trying to get our players in trouble, moaning at the ref all the time. Very clever though because he had Juanma biting every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 He'd walk into our side and probably be my pick for captain. Very good player. All about opinions. Imo he wouldn't get anywhere near a fullback or central defensive berth for us. Thankfully we've moved forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flux Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Slapping wee Sam in the nuts was literally below the belt though!! He played well in a very poor united side. Especially when the last two subs were having to be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudiboy Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I love Ryan McGowan's attitude and because of this he has had a very good career so far. He has limited ability and is very slow. Would have him in my team for his effort and desire alone. Paterson for me as way more potential than McGowan had at that age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
