Shway Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I was going to post this exact same news. I was watching him closely as transfermsrket said his contract was up this May. Good news he’s still in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate3322 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Hmm that's strange. This source https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/6427433/spfl-premiership-out-of-contract-celtic-rangers/amp/ shows that Paton is out of contract and transfermarkt also has his contract expiring in the summer. I haven't seen any evidence suggesting that Paton extended his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shway Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 That first tackle in the first minute sums of the SPL and their rash tackles. The league is so anti-football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not anti-football; it’s just a bit industrial and compared to the 1970s and 80s, the game is calmer. I don’t want all football to look uniformly like Barcelona of 5 years ago. longlugan, canucklefan, gator and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I was expecting. But watching the whole video (granted they are selective highlights) I was impressed. Lots of creative play and some great touches, all under threat of leg breaking tackles, which makes it even more impressive. He certainly can play at this level.

The Real Marc Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 9 hours ago, JamboAl said: The bulk release of players in the SPFL is pretty much standard these days. The former manager, John Hughes, was probably the only reason why they stayed up; I can’t see any reason Ross County wouldn’t struggle again next season and think they may be favourites for the drop. Why did Hughes not stay on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he doesn’t think he wants to face that battle again next season. There will always be a job at the next troubled club for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordan Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 He is back in training at Ross County this morning. So looks like he signed an extension. NVsoccer, dyslexic nam, Ivan and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure playing for Canada is a higher priority than Ross County. I hope. That said, they released a bunch of veteran players - all time leaders in things if I remember correctly - and he was retained. May well feel he owns them something. Depends how much they value that cup as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - and he gets appearance fees for Canada. Not to mention the opportunity it creates for both the club, and himself, to be sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Completely forgot about this lad. I hope we get him involved, but that Scottish Cup date is coming quickly. And as much as I personally want him involved, I question if he'd be selected. If we want a strong squad we are probably calling Kaye, Osorio and Piette, but then we have Priso, Fraser, and Baldisimo to consider. Does Chapman get a call back into the team? What about Teibert? What about Metcalfe? Not advocating for all of those guys ahead of Paton, just listing the competition he'll be facing. CanadaFan123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinceA Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 If he doesn't come to the GC I don't think we ever see him again simply because WCQ won't be a proving ground for guys like him and the MLS CM youngsters all probably have higher ceilings and will be at the GC most likely. So if Canada calls I think he accepts. Obinna, Shway and Ruffian 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For someone like Corbeanu who's already firmly in the plans, it may be easier. The question for me is whether he's even called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantic Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I’ve been watching some clips of him from this season and he looks very comfortable and confident in attack. Transfermarkt lists his main position as central midfielder but he actually seems to play way higher up the field. I really want to see him at the Gold Cup, there could be a hidden gem here IMO.

I think this is the key point. He isn't competing against Baldisimo or Fraser or Priso or any of those guys. I think he's competing more with Osorio and Wotherspoon further up the pitch as well as kids like Habibullah and JMR. Also, I don't buy the higher ceilings argument. Doesn't matter who has the higher ceiling, what matters is who is the better player right now (except of course when it comes to cap-tying).
