Signing Paddy McCourt

[Fan of Big Tone]

Winger signed on loan from Brighton till end of season. On the bench at Fleetwood.

Anyone know of him? Seen him play?

[mightymccourt]

Could have been one of the greats but for injury. Pleasure to watch and guaranteed to excite.

The 'Derry Pele' popular player wherever he's been, looks like a great signing.

I've seen him play over here in the League Of Ireland. Incredible talent. His first game for Barnsley sums him up. Rounded 5 or 6 players and scored. Injured himself in the process. Sums up Paddy......

I was going to say he used to be very highly rated, skilful and direct. Good ability on the ball but I haven't heard much of him for the past 4-5 years, I know he had a injury where he ended up being released - that might have been early in his career. (don't take this seriously) I used to sign him because of his reputation of FM 05 and he made a decent player when I ended up in the Premiership.

Obviously he's at the tale end of his career now but he's still a good player.

[Feral Fox]

Let's hope he can stand fit and lift the team. God knows we need it. Even with dropping hoof it Hollis we're still rubbish!

[Chris]

The only concern is what's been said about him being offensive and unable/willing to defend, our attacking isn't the problem. We need players to defend, except our striker! Especially Bajner!!

[AmericanPie]

I have not heard of him to be honest but hope he proves to be a good capture.

That last one had a touch of Best about it...If we can get 70% of what he is capable of, he will be a great addition

[mightymccourt]

Last season vs Middlesboro.....

Hell of a player, least he was at Barnsley !!!

[Cobby]

I think we have lacked someone with the ability to beat a man with skill. Once you bear a man it gives you a much better chance to create an opening, and since we lost Grealish we haven't really had that touch on the ball. Could Paddy be the answer? Let's hope so!

[liampie]

he looks a good player and i hope he can settle, i dont think we needed another winger myself but its what we have and we must use him.

[AmericanPie]

Looks like a world beater! How many of them fail at meadow lane? I see him being of some use.

[Feral Fox]

I genuinely think this is a major signing for us. If he stays fit (always been his issue) then he does have a serious dose of class about him. Hayhurst needs to develop alot more and has shown he is unable to beat a man. Paddy can beat four men and still go on to cross or shoot.

Looking forward to seeing him in the b & w.

[upthepies]

I hope he takes his boots with him on Saturday, get those crosses in.

[mightymccourt]

Uproar back at Derry City here as the local paper led with "McCourt signs for Derry". lol.... till we realised it was Sean Derry. hahahaha  

[Chris]

@mightymccourt Got to love headlines like that.. LOL

Makes you wonder if they make the connection and do it on purpose.

[mightymccourt]

Another typical piece of Paddy magic from last season.....

We need to get the kop singing this! I will mention it to @super_pie's mate Matt. Haha!

[BromPie]

Paddy McCourt and Jamal Campbell-Ryce could be a deadly duo in this league!

[mightymccourt]

More wizardry.....

Thanks for posting these clips. I hope he can recreate some of that form.
