• If the club had prioritised Alistair Johnston this summer, he would be signed and training wth the club in Germany. No other Premier League club has an interest in him, and he is not in great demand.That doesn't mean we won't sign him, but he is down the list of players drawn up by the recruitment team for the position. The fact that we haven't bid may mean there is progress elsewhere....

• Ashley #106...Yes.He is that much better than Patterson.Also, Patterson did not play in the World Cup "just like Johnston." He played parts of three games for the team that finished 36th. Johnston played every minute for the team that finished 14th. If you actually saw them both play, you saw a massive gulf in quality between the two. ...
