How long has Paddy got on his Man City contract? Two years here, success, contract running down, no prospects of a game down there. that's the scenario where we might get him, seems to me. Ed?
{Ed007's Note - Roberts City contract runs until 2020.}

Two years to run after this next loan. He'll think he has time. We need to do something spectacular to tempt him. It could happen. Might depend on how Man Coty do.

I must admit as glad as I am to see Paddy return, another loan deal is not ideal, and us paying over £2.5m for a year is wasted money also.
On the plus side for all the games we will be playing we need him to bolster Forrest, Sinclair and Hayes and the young lad we got from Ipswich in the wide areas.
Another centre back now would be good and with Cifcti away on loan to Plymouth, surely that opens up another centre forward space to help Dembele (IF he stays) and Griffiths.

I am happy to pay £2.5m each year for the next three years for Paddy and get him on a free come 2020. Man City cannot compete with KT.
