…eh? DCL was in the first team 3 months after he signed.
And he was bang average and not near ready enough!

I see what you’re saying, I do. Guess I’m trying to look at things as, a lad who cost 20mil and is experienced isn’t guaranteed to succeed just as a young lad isn’t. I understand completely that the former is more likely to, but at the end of the day, if this is the lad the club want - it’s who they’ll go for and they’ll have reasons. Trying to be optimisticTrue mate but the reality is Saints are just happy to avoid relegation so can take relative punts on prospects that may come good down the line.
Our fans will be frothing at the mouth if Benitez gets less than 10th.
We need somewhat proven quality in certain areas and RB is one of them as Coleman and Kenny are just not good enough.
Well you said this season is about getting hefty wages off the books ( no more cast offs on big contracts )and then consolidate and tread water until next season when Mosh gets the cheque book out.And then if we finish 10-12th with these types of young players not yet ready the fanbase are up in arms:
SACK THE MANAGER
WE SHOULD BE FIGHTING FOR EUROPE
You cant have it both ways.
Tell them well throw Kenny in and they should be grateful.If it took eg £10m (8+ add-ons) + sell-on % + a straight loan (no option) on Branthwaite or Gordon to get Patterson what would we think? This is just a guess from a Rangers fan on Twitter of what they might consider so wondered how we would see it.
Definitely not got qualms, could turn out to be a really good signing. But it's weird. We're weird, though.They do seem to be in such different profiles, age and experience-wise. It's weird in that respect, sure.
End of the day, though, we're in desparate need of a RB, especially one who can run. So I have no qualms if we were to sign this lad.

Why do so many Liverpool players have bird pun names?
Well you can't go back in time to last Summer so what is it you'd prefer?
Would you start Livramento over Coleman next weekend if he played for us and not Saints? Yes / No
Right now, I'd prefer us to get a player with a bit more experience. Not necessarily old, but a player in/approaching their prime years (24-26).
How long we’ve needed one has no bearing on whether this would be a good move. Coleman is the first choice now. If this kid is at least good enough to be better than Holgate/Kenny as Coleman’s backup he would be a good addition. If there is any legitimate chance that he could win the starting job this year then it’s a master stroke.
lol what? I'm pretty bloody realistic and logical.Well we couldn't afford Dumfries by the sounds of it for around £10m. So who are you wanting around that age range for <£10m to be an automatic starter.
It's fine to have your own opinions but you're gonna need to start adding some logic and realism to them for people to take you seriously.
lol what? I'm pretty bloody realistic and logical.
Would you say logic is going from Dumfries to Patterson?
One, an international full-back with bags of experience (though some flaws, far from perfect). The other, a 19-year-old with fewer than 20 club games under his belt.
Get your concerns mate.Definitely not got qualms, could turn out to be a really good signing. But it's weird. We're weird, though.
The point is no one thought he would make he immediate impact he did.The same Ben Godfrey who had played a season in the PL and is nearly 24?
