Confirmed Signing Nathan Patterson

[toffeejohn29]

Im no Benitez fan but how people are moaning about signing two highly rated full backs is beyond me.

Even Rangers fans coming on here praising him but of course the 'experts' know best lol




£40mil ?

£18mil + £16mil = £34mil after all clauses are hit will be more like £25mil before those clauses may be triggered.

£25mil if both are on 4.5 year deals means we'll be spending about £5.5mil in terms of FFP budgets.

£5.5mil + their waged is probably what we make on a loan fee for Digne along with James' saved wages.

Patterson was wanted by Brands not FSW

The man responsible for not shifting players has gone now right? So everything is directly with Benitez


Chilwell’s got a long term injury mate, that’s why they were linked

And that fills you with confidence ??

He’ll be back by next season.

The age range of targets has dropped, that’s the only positive I’ve got. I sadly suspect Lucas won’t be the only player chased off the longer we keep him in charge

Do you think this egomaniac would be moving for Patterson if Brands wanted him and he didn’t? I don’t

 

[AsiaAsia82]

He’s not been signed as a player officially he’s been bought as a ‘cantilever cross beam’ and buried in the ground development costs….

If that’s the case why didn’t we spend on structured deals like those in the summer ?

If we were 7th now rather 15th none of this would be happening.

Why wouldnt we be signing full backs if we were in 7th?

Bit lost on that one...I mean Coleman is clearly finished and somethings gone on with Digne. We need 2 full backs.

FFP/profit and sustainability show deals in that 'structure'.

Perhaps they both wanted him? I thought Brands wanted Dumfries.

If Benitez chases out 50% of the dead weights in the squad that would be a good thing.

The offers we made were rejected.

Sadly he's signed one dead weight already

Bernard was on big money and I'm pretty sure he who must not be named is not picking up anywhere near his full pay.

Hope he fails it and we look elsewhere.

No we were specifically told by club sources we couldn’t buy anyone due to ffp

 

[davek]

So he’s not a winger as @davek seems to think he is

He's an adapted winger.

The attacking full back role is not possible for this lad...he's not alone in that like.

There's very few modern FBs I rate.
