This is a fantastic signing for Saints. We need a striker with a track record, he has one. We need a striker with a physical presence up front, he is one. He scored 14 goals for the fakes last season, which is pretty good going, and will do extremely well for us next season.
Paatelainen has previously played for the likes of Aberdeen, Hibs, Dundee United and Wolves. He's agreed to sign for Saints, and will complete the deal after his holidays. The same will probably happen with Mark Reilly.
