Robin Roefs πŸ‡³πŸ‡± compendium


We were after a 1st choice GK since the end of last season. Has nothing to do with Patterson, we'll probably sign a cheaper/free gk if Patto in injured long time.

Knew we were after a GK, what I was trying to say was, the lad hadn't even been a tenuous link had he? Him specifically being on the verge of signing has come from nowhere.
 
bottom line for me is...has patterson improved in any areas since he was made first team goalkeeper? or has he just plateaued?

if he hasnt improved then we are bound to look elsewhere...this fella looks to be strong in areas Patto is weakest..crosses..how many times have we seen crosses put in and the keeper is still on his line not challenging
 
It was Β£13m + add ons. I doubt many were achieved though
The entirely believable rumour of why we ended up with him instead if mvila was it was largely add ons with only a small bit upfront.

Which why i hated the narrative he was our record signing when he was 13.9 maximum and probably only paid half of that while bent was 10m with add ons up to 16.5m which almost certainly we paid all of as we had to stump up cash to spurs when we selt him
 
Is Patto off do we think? This level of signing I think means we have two number 1s of a similar level potentially and that’s not how clubs operate. I was expecting us to either stick with Patto or bring in a higher level more experienced keeper. I do like the way we sneak these deals under the radar and your hear about them when they’re effectively done.

I think we will sell mate. Behind the scenes they highly rate Young and I suspect he will be promoted to the no.2
