I can assure you all that Chris Erskine, on his day, is absolutely unplayable. He will have no trouble cutting it at SPL level. |

How often is he on his day? Is he more of a sometimes brillaint sometimes anonymous player? He seems to fit into what we need, flexible attackers, so seems a good signing. |

This season he has become a lot more consistent than he has been in previous years. He's never really anonymous anymore and even if he's having an off day he'll still try and track back and help out all over the pitch. So yeah, as much as it pains me to say it, you've made a good signing. |

Cheers Jagsfan and welcome. Appreciate the opinion. Sorry we nicked Jackie but it doesn't seem to have affected you that much and, all continuing well, we'll be having a bit of pre-match chat next season if you fancy it. Since you're here, would you clear up whether Paton's a defender or midfielder? |

Up until Jackie came along Paton was a right back and then he was converted to a centre mid so it is likely that is the role he'll play at united. Haha thanks and that sounds good if/when we get promoted.ll |

Thanks for clearing that up Jagsfan, perhaps Paton's signing isn't such bad news for Watson's career at Utd after all.... Re Erskine, is he more of a central attacking midfielder, or wide attacking player (if so left sided or right)? |

And do they have funny nicknames or off-field activities? You should be aware that, after the Goodwillie, Allan and Swanson problems, we are now building a team of highly articulate young men on a gap decade before studying law or medicine, so I hope they are up to snuff. |

I see the SPFL are trying to f*ck up the harmony of Tannadice terraces by anointing regular boo-boy Paul Paton their Player Of The Month. See here. |

I guess with the goals and and games against dundee he's stood out, but his selection is a bit of a surprise. Still, hopefully gives him a nice boost. |

So. Paton, eh? Paton. Complex character. Troubled. Potential arsehole. TBC. |

This appears below a big picture of Paul Paton's lampjaw. The Sun has very good lawyers.
The Record, which has worse lawyers, suffices with lots of pictures of Mark Wilson and the phrase "Zaluska's face exploded". Interesting times. |

Another sad chapter in Ashton Lane's descent from charming lane of mingling students, artists and wannabes to the venue for footballers to be assaulted. |
