Personally I'd loan him out next season it get some quality experience behind him.
Get a domestic no. 2 in or keep Patterson as no. 2

Patterson isn't good enough

For no. 2 he is
He’s not because, as we’ve seen this season, even a number 2 is likely to get some appearances over the course of a full season.

He's not so if roefs gets injured for a few months next season you are happy having him in goal expect us to struggle then

He's preforming extremely well at the top of the championship this season and last for us. He's definitely good enough as no. 2
We really need to be mindful of the home grown rule and having a no. 2 and no. 3 ad HG will free up those spaces else where in the squad.
If we do go down that route, which other HG keeper would you have at no. 2? Ramsdale?
There aren't many HG keepers out there
Yes also see my answer above
We aren't in a position to have top quality as no. 2. Patterson has proved he's a very capable keeper at a really high standard

Personally, I disagree that he performed ‘extremely well’ last season for us.
His distribution was consistently appalling and I think that is an essential skill in the Premier League.
Like Dan Neil - who I didn’t think was anything other than a weak link last season but who seems to have some sort of ‘halo effect’ because he’s local - he is no where near the level of our current first team and I want to see us improve in the summer.
I hope he gets a decent move and we get a couple of mill die him.

And the club have proven they don't think he's good enough hence how he's on loan at the moment and we signed 2 Keepers

I doubt he wants to sit on the bench like

He was good enough to be no. 2 for the first half the season though. He wanted to play football
Like I said I'd rather use our back up keepers for the HG spots to free up positions out field.
As we already have Patterson and Moore here, job done.
Let's say we do let Patterson go, send Ellberg out on loan and use the no. 2 as HG which better keeper is out there who would be no. 2??????????
Probably not but choice does he have I've that's the way we go?

Why didn't we keep patto as number 2 till the summer plus he's at an age where he should be wanting to play every week
Lagger
Midfield
He’ll definitely be away in the summer.

We allowed him to go because we got Ellberg in last minute. No Ellberg and he would be still no. 2
Answer my question though which HG no. 2 would you have instead of Patterson?

Striker
Not sure it really has to be I'd rather have competent back up which I don't think he is, yep we got ellborg in because they don't trust patto or think ellborg is better possibly both

Waste of a place which should be used for an outfield player.
We need to be really smart with HG quota
I disagree him not being good enough for no. 2.

He can take hjelde spot it's not really an issue as they brought ellborg in plus we will be getting more under 21 players in
Sam Johnstone from Wolves ?
