What kinda player is he?
This one has been gaining ground last week or so. Clearly very talented and would have signed for W Ham in Jan but for a cruciate injury which will still keep him out till October. That is why I am slightly doubtful about this,particularly as Warnock needs to start the season strongly.
I think that Warnock's actions so far suggest that in addition to winning games he also has an eye on the longer term success of the club - a good example of this is his role in restructuring our U23 set up & getting Bellamy involved to develop our younger players. On that basis I have confidence that if players like Paterson are available, then Warnock will be interested even if they are not immediately available to him for selection. Even though he would miss the first 2 months or so of the season I would be really happy to see him sign for us as he is a good player & at 22 could get even better.
He is now in full training
I see that Wales Online report is saying that his contract runs out at the end of this month, I'd be surprised if that's right - good signing if we can get him, but are we being used by his agent to get "bigger" clubs interested?
Well running at least

If he goes to rangers they have to pay 400k development fee, but presumably we would get him for nothing?
there is no clos season for him as he is recuperating and needs to train
I have heard conflicting stories here so not quite sure. I recall at the time that we claimed that we couldn't agree a contract with him which suggests that we offered him one. However, I met Matthews a year or two after he left & asked him what happened - he said that Dave Jones made it clear that he didn't rate him & he was not wanted at Cardiff, so he left. I don't know if we received any compensation but if we didn't then a contract was not offered.
hearts fans view of him.

We received nothing for Ledley as he was 23 & it was an international transfer. If he had gone to a club who played in the premier/football league we would have received compensation. I can remember feeling a bit aggrieved at the time as I felt that Ledley could have done more to help us at a time when we were totally skint, although after a while I was able to look at it more objectively & could accept that he was perfectly entitled to do what was best for his future career
This piece says that we'd have to pay £400k for him and, reading it, our chances of getting him appear to be pretty high.
