Anthony Patterson

Might be in the clubs interest to keep hold of him for the homegrown quota, loan out Ellborg for a season of experience.
Matty Young kicks on and then have Young or Ellborg lined up as Roefs successor.

If the fee for Patto is around 5m, we could save having to spend that money on a homegrown player to fill our quota and just move him on the season after.

If Cirkin and Patto leave we will only have
09, Ballard, Rigg that qualify unless Young is kept as the number 2
 

He's an excellent Championship keeper, wouldn't be opposed to letting him go for a nominal fee in order to secure him the right move. Burnley could be right for him, Dubravka's days look to be numbered.

I'd put him in the same bracket as Dan Neil. Someone who'll always be welcome at the SoL, and someone who I'd love to see progress into a Prem-level footballer at a club that can offer the game time.
I don't rate him at all but could see any of the relegated sides with cash going for him just for experience, unless they watched last night 😉

Like all positions the home quota players can be and should be improved upon if possible

I'm just using factual information on where he's finished in the seasons he's played at that level. Millwall finished higher this season with him in goal than they were when he arrived.

Lets not kid ourselves here. If he'd gone on loan to Leicester or Oxford you would have used relegation against him, just as you've used a questionable goal/mistake (I haven't seen it) last night as a baring on his overall ability.

If Millwall had won last night with him starring you wouldn't have had leverage or the reason to make the post - so you're kinda falling on your own sword.


He probably wants games. But given the issues we might potentially face with homegrown players it might be a good short term option to keep him till January and send Ellborg out for games he desperately needs too. Being honest they both seem to have the same kind of weaknesses at the moment.
Keep Young and send Ellborg out
