Stoney Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Never really got a chance here. Good luck to him. Link to comment
Jazzer_Bett Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Minky Celtic fanatic, part of the previous hingmy's clique, educated by Alexander the Alexandria mink. Shelving prospects : ASDA/Tesco, maybe Sainsburys if he's lucky. Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Never really got a chance here. Good luck to him.He got plenty chances.Just never grabbed them. Link to comment
barassie_afc Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 This has probably cost us money to pay him off, the youth system delivering once again Link to comment
ebbe Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 paton was pish, but i'd rather it was mackie that was freed. Link to comment
seanthesheep Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 This has probably cost us money to pay him off, the youth system delivering once again He hasn't actually been released. He has just been told if he can get a club he can leave for free. He may not find a club and dig his heels and stay like Bobo Balde did at Celtic. Link to comment
seanthesheep Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Never really got a chance here. Good luck to him. He got more of a chance than you are giving Craig Brown! Link to comment

He may not find a club and dig his heels and stay like Bobo Balde did at Celtic. Ergo he will stay draw a wage, as I doubt anyone will take him with his over inflated Dons wage Link to comment
Batting71 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 he wasnt given THAT many chances up front...was he???Due an undoubted lack of effort and ability. Didn't McGhee try to ship him out on loan this time last season? Clearly Paton is a big head, with ideas above his station - and in truth boys like him are part of the problem. Good riddance.

vanderark14 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 He got more of a chance than you are giving Craig Brown! he had a few and the management would have seen enough of him in training to make a decision on whether he is worth keeping. hardly used at all by last 3 managers so time up. not a huge loss to us Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Shame really, thought the boy had potential. Obviously a bit of a knob in training and clearly has an attitude problem, therefore i'd rather see the back of him. Link to comment
RAZOR Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 More concerned that Brown seems to think Megginson is a better prospect. Link to comment
NorthernLights24 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I was all for Paton to be given a chance but when he has been given it he has shown little to prove himself. Yes he might have been played out of position out wide but even that couldn't excuse his lack of effort or talent. A First Division level player at best. Link to comment
SkyeDon Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Never really rated him but good luck to him nonetheless. Link to comment
DD1903 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 an arrogant big head who can be found getting hammered in Greenock on a regular basis...apparently Link to comment
RAZOR Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Megginson horrible I presume?Yet to make an impact. Paton always made his presence felt when given a chance. Link to comment
K-9 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 More concerned that Brown seems to think Megginson is a better prospect.Megginson 100% a better prospect than the lump of wood that is Paton but for now Megginson nae quite ready. Link to comment
Tord31 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 This thread has jumped the gun. Any mod want to fix it...obviously they are still negotiating Link to comment

ollie1903 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Exactly.What do you expect of the youth system? Link to comment
Dynamo Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Should have went out on loan 2 seasons ago when he had the chance. Could have come back a better player having had regular first team football.Should probably have been binned when he refused looking back, obviously has zero ambition to become a half decent player. Link to comment
Coopy100 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Due an undoubted lack of effort and ability. Didn't McGhee try to ship him out on loan this time last season? Clearly Paton is a big head, with ideas above his station - and in truth boys like him are part of the problem. Good riddance.I wouldn't say lack of ability. When he did try he looked a very good prospect in a few games. Sadly he seemed to hardly ever try and when Mcghee came the toys went out the pram and he never showed the same promise again. The fud. Should have went out on loan 2 seasons ago when he had the chance. Could have come back a better player having had regular first team football.Should probably have been binned when he refused looking back, obviously has zero ambition to become a half decent player.Agree. Shame as I did think he could have been a good player for us. Link to comment
RAZOR Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Megginson 100% a better prospect than the lump of wood that is Paton but for now Megginson nae quite ready.Genuine question. What have you seen of Megginson to suggest that? Link to comment
sheepiekev Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I'm not sure we have any strikers that are good enough; Vernon - seems a poorer player with Maguire not creating for himMackie - Dont even start meMagennis - great attitude, but poor ability, terrible first touchPaton - showed potential a couple of years ago, not good enough now, First Div playerMegginson - Not ready - too early to say.Chalali - Not seen enough to judge. Ideally we need a striker, but more importantly a left mid/winger to give the team proper balance. Link to comment
K-9 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Genuine question. What have you seen of Megginson to suggest that?Bits and pieces in first team but mostly in pre season games. That and think Paton is absolute gash. Link to comment
