Patto


What’s gonna happen with Patto do we think?

Seems he’s being an excellent professional but I don’t know if it’s good for his career essentially having a “season out”, that’s assuming Roefs stays fit of course.

Loan move in Jan perhaps if we can get someone else in?
Injury away from Premier League football and the number 1 Jersey.
Unless he moves to a promoted Championship team in the summer, can't see a career benefit I the short term for him.

I think if we're in the Premier League next season we'll sell if he wants to go, only chance he gets back in now is if we're in the Championship imo.
 
Not any time soon and even when that day comes I'd be confident we'd replace him with someone better than Patterson.
It’s the model, sell for a profit, re-invest. The only one I can’t see being sold over time is Xhaka. We’ll likely sell 2 or 3 next summer and Roefs could be one of them.

He’ll stay. What if Roefs gets injured?

Sell him
 
Roefs isn't a T-1000. He'll get injured, red carded, have a dodgy curry soon enough.
Plus Patto will play in the FA Cup .
I doubt he'll miss many, particularly due to red cards.

I'm not sure the model is have one season then sell them, to risk doing it all over again the next season.

I think he's been very very unlucky.
He's perfectly capable of playing for us today, but he's just been gazumped - pretty sure the recruitment team knew fine well that Roefs was going to be outstanding, or they would have brought in a much cheaper #2 (or even a season loan)
