colinstein 294 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Can't agree with that. Papac successfully converted from the centre, there's a parallel with Mcgregor there Thought he put in a great contribution over the years. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whosthedado 1,742 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 If he's half as good as Papac then we'll have a decent player in my opinion 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anchorman 0 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Sorry for appearing negative as it is a good article if you rate big Sasa. Maybe I should have kept my thoughts to myself in this occasion on what otherwise a positive thread. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,780 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Thing is when you look back on youtube videos and watch him play,then compare what we have watched the last three seasons he does look a very decent player,one which we could do with now! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me started again Ian I've already deleted my negative posts. That's the beauty of Youtube. I could show you loads of clips that show his weaknesses e.g try defeats at Pittodrie when he played (watch him defend his blind side). We obviously disagree by a country mile on this one which is fine. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest House Of Baelish Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Any kid coming through the ranks would have done well to take note of Papac. He was never all that but he gave us service and kept his nose clean. He put in an honest shift and thats all you can really ask from a man who was the sole survivor of the PLG cull. One thing that always impressed me about Sasa was that years before he came to us he was involved in a nasty car accident I believe... His doctors ( if i remember rightly ) said he was one bad tackle or blow to the head from doing serious damage. I don't recall the game but someone rifled a piledriver at goal and Papac cleared it off the line with his head.. It was such a wicked shot that Sasa collapsed in a heap and was stretchered off. Since that day, the big fella has a special place in my heart.. that game was in the midst of the title run. Too many people fawned over the usual suspects in our team but Sasa pulled his weight. In fact, for me, if everyone in our squad over the past 4 years had one ounce of Sasa's courage, then maybe we wouldn't be sitting here needing a second run up at one of the worst leagues in Europe. So if one of our latest prospects is being compared to Papac, I'm happy enough with that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh! don't get me wrong he was never my favourite player,but he was steady and reliable and imo can be considered a decent signing 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wont disagree with that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
