Parkinson says we'll sign a keeper.

I don’t think Patterson being loaned out is too bad. Pickford has a number of loans before breaking through and Patterson is yet to play senior football.

Didn’t Patterson only sign a 1 year extension though? Doesn’t protect ourselves well if he goes out and performs well.
 
Parkinson can go get fucked, the clueless w@nker!
He isn’t going anywhere soon. We need to judge him after he’s tweeked the squad and had his own pre season to prepare us the way he wants us to play. Let’s hope and pray he gets it right.

True
 
To compete with Burge. Pattinson to be sent out on loan. Sigh if he's highly rated why not give him a chance? We are in League 1 not the Premier league.
Give Patterson the chance to sit on the bench? That's not going to do him any good, presumably they think he's a prospect but not ready for league 1. He's just turned 20, plenty of time for a keeper to develop.
 
I can’t believe we are ran by people who think that Ben f***ing Alnwick is a worthwhile signing.

How much would he be paid? £1k a week? A stretch to £2k a week?

Keeping Patterson as number 2 not only helps his development and sends a positive message down the line to younger players but it also saves us what is a good percentage of a league 1 wage. That wage saving could be spent wisely elsewhere or be used on a higher quality of player by contributing to their wage. Marcus Maddison for example. It might not be a big difference but it’s a saving none the less.

Some merit in that argument. The single year commitment doesn't exactly show commitment to his development, mind. The bigger issue is that the idea of us investing precious resources into competition at keeper is utterly braindead. Absolutely terrible waste. Keepers simply don't rotate. If Burge isn't good enough, replace and dispose of him. Don't leave us wasting money by having a similar standard keeper (with similar wage demands) sat on the bench every single week. Once again SAFC prove themselves to be incredibly dumb and 10 years out of date.

Why do we feel the need to always lose a 1st team player, bring the 2nd choice into the 1st team then replace the shitter of the two. Meaning we just slowly downgrade, we NEVER seem to try f***ing replace a decent player with another decent player. We just promote the shit then replace the shit.
 
Give it a couple of months and Ben Alnwick will appear holding the scarf aloft.
“We’ve done a meticulous search of the footballing world for a replacement for McLaughlin and the recruitment team are convinced there’s nobody better out there than Ben”

And you just know it’ll come to fruition as well :lol:
