I'm still confused why Paterson was deemed surplus to requirements. He's the ideal number two behind Moore.

His sale he left for a similar price to what we paid for him, despite him becoming a Scottish international since then and an established championship player . We miss him #CCFC

Wage reduction move ?? and I'm told unofficially he could be awkward in the squad if not picked ,.

Sounds like manager had to reduce spend someone had to leave, he had Moore incoming and Glatzel and Harris as forwards , so I guess at the time it made sense .

He wasn’t getting a game so may well have wanted the move.

Would you really pick him upfront instead of Moore or No. 10 instead of Wilson ?

I just can’t see where he would have got in to the first eleven.
