He is the better keeper at the moment.

Who would pay that sort of Dosh for him if he's not the finished article?

A promoted club? He's scored in the Prem just not been given many opportunities.

That was a no brainer. Brainless mags assume we will follow their model of failure when we aspire to be villa.
He isn't good enough.
Nope. Patto is champ.
After that game where he had a record low percentage of touches and simply didn't know where to be on the pitch he was benched

When ellborg attempts to go long he does what onien did the majority of the time, a shanked dangerous low ball into midfield. My mag mates couldn’t believe they didn’t test him more, he’s very shaky.

You think you can get the finished article in the premier league for 20 mil. Midfielders who aren't the finished article go for more than 20 mil.

I agree
Thought Elborg looked good, confident too but still developing.
Roefs is a bit of a unicorn, lad looks like hes been playing for 10 years in his second full season as a pro.
People need to adjust the optics as you naturally compare the two.
But those two as main keepers with Young as backup on loan to be recalled is an excellent place to be.
One position I am not worries about at all

If you think Mayenda is worth 15m then you can expect a visit from the men in white coats.... i know hes young but has shown nowhere near enough when called upon ..i doubt he will get 10 appearances next season..the only thing he has got is pace and when you are up against a better player than you who is just as quick theres always only going to be one winner..sorry to disappoint ...its all about opinions and mine is that hes not good enough.Fuck off 5mil , 15 mil at the very least. You're going on like the Sunderland of old. In an ironic twist of fate Newcastle are now primed to undervalue and overspend. Imagine selling Anderson for £35 mill tops ( possibly as low as £15mil ) and later buying Wissa for £50 mill with add on's at the age of 29.
I love his foot work and distribution like, but he had a right brain fart on Sunday, which I'm sure he'll learn from.

Clubs pay a lot for potential these days tbh. I’d almost argue it’s seen as more valuable.
They pay 15m now to avoid paying 40m in 3 years... if they agree that he has potential and the budget to take a relative risk
We won away at Leeds and the Mags with Elborg in goal. He has made a promising start.

Is the correct answer. He also seems blissfully unaware that Neil is out of contact too. Going on like he's played for us this season but needs to got rid of
Agree although ellborg is younger and may have a higher ceiling .
The same Patto that made a world class save in playoff final that secured promotion for us .
Yeah right!!

He did yeh not that one game proves anything I trust the club who decided to bring more keepers in
Agree I also trust the club on their decisions. Have the feeling it's the fact that the club would be more than happy to have had Patterson as backup keeper. It was more the case of Patterson wanting game time and not being happy to ride the pine for the rest of his contract. Roefs is clearly number one and rightly so.
