Peacemaker
Player Valuation: £150k
The awareness of flick.
The pace to get forward.
The pin point cross.
I also really like how in a massive, massive game for Scotland - with nerves jangling - he made it count with a MOTM display to get them to a World Cup play-off place.
Left footed finish for opener;
He then made the assist for the second;
We don't currently have a full back capable of doing all of the above, IMO.
The lad turned 20 a few months back, just moved to the Prem - hasn't kicked a ball for Everton yet and we have people on his case already?! Wtf is that all about...
As a Scotland fan I had hoped to see young Patterson given some game time at Everton. He left Rangers because he was a backup to the club Captain, but it appears he is now considered third choice at Everton. May I say, third choice to JJK, a player Celtic (you know... in the pub league) had on loan and didn't want. I would doubt he could be pleased with that position. At this point I would happily watch him play in the U23's. I just want to see the lad grow, he has to play... somewhere.
IMHO having both him and JJK sitting on the same bench would beg the question... why? I would ask, those that think he's a bad buy, if they got an offer for him.. what number would they accept?
