ABERDEEN FC striker Michael Paton is poised to join Dundee on loan within the next 24 hours.

 

Aberdeen FC boss Mark McGhee today confirmed he is attempting to sort out a loan deal for Paton with the Dark Blues in an effort to create space on his wage bill to make new signings before the transfer window closes.

 

McGhee said: “There is a possibility Michael could go to Dundee.”

Fucking pedants.

Stirling Smith is away on loan to Dumbarton.

 

A left back out would have suggested Basey coming in but he's only away for 1 month.

??? ???

 

 

He has?

 

He might be if he was played up front where he did well for Killie....but we insist on playing him on the right wing

He's out on trial with some team in Innsbruck, Austria, with a view to a loan move in January.

 

Another young player seemingly alienated by McGhee? On the other hand, Paton was idiotic enough to get involved in Facebook-gate, and his attitude doesn't seem to have been sparkling since then.

 

Any strikers off the wage bill, even temporarily, has got to be a good thing. Will hopefully allow the new manager to bring in a fucking full-back.

Seriously mate, you're either taking way too many drugs, or nowhere near enough.

Says to me that if McGhee is still being allowed to punt players that his position is under no threat and it is him who will be using any funds freed up in the winter break.

Would be gutted if that was the case.

 

Still though, if you can't get the sack after a club's record loss, in a sparkling run of 6 straight losses, leading the club to joing bottom, when are you going to?

Aye a few of the guys were saying that on Saturday on live chat.

Was told he was on his arse after he refused to attend the hospitality for the sponsors on the night of the Raith game, was surprised when he got a run out at inverness to be honest.

 

 

Its great that we have a manager that knows how to treat the young players and get the most out of them.

THis season or last season?

This season!

This season!

 

Possibly he did but hes been out of McGhees favour since the previous raith game.

Fucking brilliant!

 

Make a paper thin squad even thinner?

 

Dingus, you are the weakest link!

Can't imagine that Paton going anywhere is going to save us a huge amount in wages.

 

Guess he can take comfort from the way he is being treated in the fact that he'll be at Pittodrie after McGhee has left.

To be fair we have plenty of strikers, all be it a lot mis-firing.  Puting Paton on loan seems a bit of sense, providing he gets plenty of game time.  If he starts banging them in and his confidence grows, bonus.  Plus freeing up some age bills.  It beats sitting on the bench at Pittodrie wanting to get away!

 

Plus it gives McGhee the chance, when the seaon kicks off next year, to say the immortal line "Its like having a new signing".  As its been said he aint gettin the boot!  We have a semi-final and that will keep him in job security for at least 5 years

He's stuck him out on loan so that he can continue with the "once I get all my own players back on the park" routine.

To be fair, we need players that are gonna battle now to get us out of this sh1t that we're in, and Paton doesn't strike me as the knuckle down and give 110% type of player. I don't think he even looks in shape.

add that to his facebook embarrassment and I'm not too fussed if it means we get someone else in the january sales.

 

MM was pretty clear what he thought about Paton's role in St Mirren's 90th winning goal which would have been our only point in the last 6 games! presumably Paton has not won favour back since then.

Is this the same Paton who's been punted on loan before, scored some goals and wants to fight for his place in the Dons team instead of being punted out again? Also the Paton who when given some playing time scored a very classy goal at Ibrox?

 

Yeah, lets ship him out. Waste of a wage him. Can't believe he wasn't taken out and shot for not single handedly beating St. Mirren.

 

The cunt.

Well it couldn't have been MM's fault so somebody had to take the blame 

Maybe on his way back now?

hopefully!

i think, given a run of games, is one of the players who could really turn our season around

Has anymore been heard on this? Is it still on or is he back in from the cold?

He was listed as being on the bench yesterday

He has told several people that when he was away McGhee got sacked so he just gave up trying over there.
