Jamie Paterson, one of the brighter moments this season in SA1 has made it known he wants to sit down and talk through the bizarre situation that developed on Thursday morning pre training for the Huddersfield Town game.

Swans Indie Thursday report on Paterson

Having seemingly agreed to a transfer extension which brings him thirty thousand pounds a month in salary he backtracked last week. Stating to Russell Martin he wasn’t in a position to play our sources told us he was ‘out injured’ and wouldn’t play on Saturday. Now it seems after four days away from Swansea he wants to talk through his future with the swans. On reflection refusing to play for the club who pays his wages, and it’s hardly small beer, he maybe see’s the two week fine which will be imposed on him as not making the situation any better.

Swansea City fans in the main have not responded positively to Paterson’s strange decision on Thursday, and let’s be honest if it’s about his contract then it’s purely down to money. And if that’s the case, unless he comes up with something believable for refusing to wear the clubs shirt not many will have any sympathy for him. If at all.

What we would love of course is for a quick resolution, Paterson to be reprimanded, as no player is bigger than our club and we move on. However, it’s almost certain this was an orchestrated move by the player and his advisors to either hold the club to ransom for more money or seek a transfer elsewhere.

There can be no other explanation.
