    What has happened to this guy?

    Tbh i think he'll be away in the summer, he was a regular for a few months but now that we've got commons, maloney, forrest i think he'll be away.

    It's clear he's not a starter for us and never will be.

    Thoughts?

    I would keep him for his ability

    let him go if there was a half-decent offer on the table for the club and for him, if he wanted to go.

    I think he will be the in and out type all the time and that doesnt bother me.

    Same as I've always felt. Has a place in the team if he wants to be here, but if he wants regular first team football he should probably move on. Love him off the bench.

    Still don't know why he doesn't start, really hope he gets a run in.

    Great player. Loads of ability. I would prefer to get rid of Maloney than Paddy.

    Don't think he'll ever be more than an impact sub for us, most of the time when he's started his overall contribution hasn't been that great, seems like he'll either score a wonder goal or do nothing at all.

    When we were struggling he rescued us and now we are flying he's in the background! He had a great run of games and was saving us in games, then after the Rangers game in Jan he's barely featured

    Fantastic impact player and has a showreel of great goals. However, clearly bit of a luxury player and sometimes doesnt do enough as a team player.

    There was a wee spell in Nov/ Dec when he was sensational for us. Since then he has struggled to get back in the side. Would like to hang on to him, but if he was to go we have plenty of cover.

    Hes not on a pile of money considering. We'll never get a player of that ability on his money. Great impact player worth keeping.

    i would be sad to see him go, he can turn a game round. I think we shoulod keep him as a wonder sub.

    I would be gutted if he goes. I love McCourt. I would like to see what would happen if he got a long run in the team. He was great at iPox this year when we done them.

    I don't see why he'd want to leave, he's at the club of his dreams and the only way is down for him even if he isn't featuring that much. A great option to have in the squad.

    He can't get a place in the team ahead of our other wingers. Simple as that. Due to his injuries and general fitness problems in the past, players like Commons and Forrest have jumped ahead of him in the pecking order. Even Maloney has been getting more games than him recently.

    I love Paddy and think he's a big player for us. Sadly, it looks like his time with the club is running out and a move back to the Irish league or even down in to the lower divisions of England could be on the cards for him.

    I'd like to see Paddy stay but if he's not going to feature much next season then he may want to move elsewhere.

    The SPL isn't much better than the Championship though. Just saying.
