2021/22 Nathan Patterson

[LocalNative]

It does look like another shocking misuse of limited funds.

 

[blueblue]

He is only 20, still a boy.
A bit too soon to write him off is a massive understatement.

 

[Nymzee]

OTT Sunday's continue.

Which is why it was utterly criminal to bring him here in the first place.

 

[davek]

Not writing him off yet but it's fair to say he was a liability in Baltimore. He was out of his depth vs Arsenal. Completely out classed as a defender.

It was a good job he had a tracker back like Townsend with him against Boreham Wood too or he'd have been in trouble then too.

Isn't that the point? You bring them in young, for £11m, so we're not sat there 5 years later wondering why they're charging us £30m?

It is, but in this particular instance it may not have been the best idea because we actually need a right back. If he’s ready this season it’s fine, if he’s not then you’d have to say it probably wasn’t the best idea in the circumstances.

I'm pretty damn certain no matter who we signed in January, Coleman would be starting this season.

lol

Well that's how much has has cost us, Dave. I know you love pretending he cost us more, but he hasn't and since you don't think he's any good, won't ever cost us more than that.

 

[Del-boy]

Only played two games and after having an injury. I’m sure he will come good.

Exactly. He’s the same age as Branthwaite but seems to be getting thought of differently- loans at that age are an important part of development and not an admission of defeat.

Yep it's exactly this.

We've ended up with a right back who's past it and a right back who isn't ready.

Patterson is the exact signing that should've been made about 4 years ago to play under Seamus.

The clubs run by absolute imbeciles.

 

[maccavennie]

No way can we afford to send him on loan. No chance at all.

Its a player off the payroll ... if he was that great why did Villa not sign him e.g. Gerrard....... he had managed him at Rangers.....
