Nelly Terraces Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Whilst I just don' see it happening for various reasons, would I have this guy back at the club, **** yeah I would, strong, powerful& athletic, everything the game is about these days, never gives anything but 100% every time he crosses the white line, and on his day has the skillset to win games. I watched the game he scored 2 at Fester Rd in the relegation season & both his goals were due to perfect positioning in the box but above all,the strength & desire to get his head on the ball plus the skill to get them both on target. At this time, we've nobody like that in our squad Would Callum Paterson improve us now - YES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I included the first division or other clubs you'd be using that to dismiss the stats... Fair enough. I assumed it was from his debut. Either way, I'd still argue that second era Robbo was better than the first - in the early 90s as he moved into the veteran era, the Hearts teams he stood out in were bang mediocre.

If 2+2 equals 5 then yes.

Watt-Zeefuik Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) On 08/12/2021 at 09:38, AGoodLaugh said: Slight nitpick but when he signed Wednesday had just been given a 12 point deduction for financial issues (later reduced to 6 points), so they certainly weren't playing for promotion. What that means for how much he's on, I've no idea. I could be mistaken but I'd thought his current contract was signed with Cardiff which was then transferred to Wednesday.

We weren’t playing long high balls, we played good passing football at a high tempo and he wouldn’t start ahead of Shankland, Gino or McKay and possibly even Boyce. Only place I’d play him is at RWB but that’s no good if we’re playing 4 at the back. A good squad player but maybe not on the wages he’d command.
