We needed someone off the books to sign Matthew Willock, and Paton was the weakest CM.
He's a really poor footballer, can't pick a pass at all, yet constantly tries to dictate your tempo. Expect plenty of counter attacks to end because he spends three hours twisting his body to try and kick with his right foot. He regularly shits out 50/50s aswell, preferring to go in high against players when it's in his favour and then roaring towards the fans as if he's full of passion.
Might be alright if the Championship is worse than I remember, Chris Millar was a better player even when he was hobbling about.
