Only £500k for Paterson?

Transfermarkt have him valued at £2.52m! Then again, they say we got him for free...

Wage saving I guess, looks like were carrying out some in house savings as the budget gets tighter in these uncertain times. Etheridge wages would have also been high .

I hear that Paterson can be a bit disruptive within the squad if not picked.

Is there any evidence that prices have fallen to the degree suggested by the price we're reportedly getting for Paterson? I don't see much evidence of it - to me, a realistic price for him is something between double and quadruple what we are supposed to be getting.

even if it was 5-10 times higher I don't think many eyebrows would be raised, based on his promotion season and season in the premier League

While I don't disagree, were we in a position to wait to see if anyone else wanted him? I presume £500k was the max Sheffield Wednesday were prepared to pay. Turn that down and no one else comes in for him, he's on our wage bill until January at the earliest.

I thought he could play as our number 10/second striker.

Yeah no where near as creative as tomlin but maybe worth a shot

Bang it up the field to Paterson , he takes out two players , tomlin or one of the others bangs it in the net

Corners , throws ins, Paterson causes havoc in the penalty area a fox in the box tucks it away

Why aren't clubs queuing up to take Paterson off our hands if we're willing to sell him for £500k and he's actually worth 5-10 times more than that?

If Sheffield Wednesday are the only club willing to pay a transfer fee for Paterson and £500k is the most they are willing to pay, then he's worth £500k.

Interesting how it’s taking a while to be announced. Hopefully this is because Cardiff are finalising a new arrival!

i can only assume its a wage issue.
