Second top scorer in the Premier League behind John Robertson in 89-90. Had some real quality alongside him too - John Watson, George O'Boyle, Istavn Kozma. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Before my time, what type of striker was he? Seen him in the odd clip, an Andy Smith or a Gerry Britton type? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 In actual signing news, Paton signs a 1 year deal. Happy with that. Solid player if lacking in belief sometimes. Excellent crosser of the ball and versatile. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 When did this happen? For all those assists he gave Fez the season previous. He's Shite at corners though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some shot on him - that power that few players (maybe El Bak, Burchill) have to about burst the net before your brain has calculated there's even a possibility of a shot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the all-import occasional left back and wide right stand-in position covered. Maybe mould him into a right back or centre midfielder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 No issues with this. He's a good player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 He's another one, like Cardle, that could be like a new signing if he has a good preseason and finds a way to fit in to the team. I'd suggested he has a go at being a midfielder as when we were being really dross early last year with McCabe and Geggan in the middle, he looked a better midfielder than either of then when he came in from the wing to try and influence stuff in the middle of the park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When AJ said quality over quantity, I expected Paton to be away. Having Cardle & Hopkirk already signed-up, who both couldn't get a regular game last year, it seems strange to keep another in Paton. He's capable of a few good performances, but over a full season at this level? Nah, not for me if we are genuinely aiming for the playoffs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit off an alround centre forward; good finisher, could hold up the ball and work hard off it and useful in the air too.

Sums up my thoughts exactly, without Raith and Hibs the gates will be down, we will have a smaller budget and we'll need to be more intelligent on how we spend it. The likes of Hopkirk, Duthie and now Paton (I hope) won't be on big wages, however they really shouldn't have been offered extensions. You might have been able to get 1 good quality championship player with the wages from them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
