2023/24 Nathan Patterson

[DuncanPatterson]

Don't worry Dave will be on a bit later, saying nonsense, not a penny under £30m, it's called an agenda mate. By end of the day liverpool will have paid less for Virgil Van Dyke !
If I remember and I can't swear to it, it was 12m rising with add ons to 16m.

It feels like it could be called "some extremley bored people with nothing better to do than rip into one of their own team's young players for what appears to be entirely non-football related reasons"

In my best Trainspotting accent:

At's just nae normal behaviour likesay ken?

Choose Everton, not pessimism

This thread is insane.

I think a lot of people who post here are on the wind up, I tend to disregard about half the posts and just read the ones from people wanting serious conversations.

Be interesting to see what sources and evidence they provide to back up their random number generator.

As so far today there’s been several unsubstantiated claims by poster:

£20m total outlay

Or

“£16m with bonuses linked to us staying in the league so that's another 2 or 3. Then a 5yr contract at £70k a week.”
(So £18 or £19m transfer and then about 2 years of 70k which is a further 7.2m so looking at £25/26m total so far with a further 10/11m to come)

Oh in that case then VVD must have cost 150m, fair enough..lol

He’s a young lad and still learning - did well yesterday and yes he made a couple of mistakes which will happen … myko didnt look great last year either so why doesnt everyone give the lad a break !!

 

[Cels]

Personally, I thought Nathan Patterson had a good game yesterday and, once again, never let anyone down. The BBC voters appeared to think he did okay too.

A loan for the lad is the difference between spending 10 million on a back up or a 20 mill or on another potentially starting right full in the summer.

What Nathan needs is what Jarrod got last year, would six months at somewhere like PSV be all that bad for him, compared to the risk of being left on the shelf here developmentally in the second half of the season.

He's been getting a lot more PL minutes in the side as a back-up than Branthwaite was getting before his move to PSV. Branthwaite (on paper at least) also had 4 or 5 players ahead of him in the pecking order for central defence. We don't have that depth at RB.

….funny how some posters think going on loan is a La La Land where players play regularly and come back much improved when the reality is often much different.

if Patterson goes on loan it’s because Dyche doesn’t want to use him. It’ll mean Dyche has effective options in his squad and most likely mean Patterson has no way back.

Patterson is never going to have a better opportunity than he has now of cementing his place in the side with two ageing RBs for competition. This is his chance, he needs to grasp it.

I don’t want him to go out on loan myself. But loans are also a chance for a player to go and learn their trade. For example Coleman, Btanthwaite, Barkley, Osman and others. Not sure going out on loan automatically means they have no way back?

£16m with bonuses linked to us staying in the league so that's another 2 or 3. Then a 5yr contract at £70k a week. For a raw kid from poor league it was financial recklessness on speed.

No way is he on 70k if he is it’s a disgrace. Be surprised if the top player at rangers/Celtic was getting that

Funny I lived in La la land for a bit mate, wasn’t a fan and moved to San Fran.

I think there is a lot of assumption and speculation in your post.

I think every decision has to be purposeful and for a lad of his talent/age/expierence it has to be used as a developmental pathway, with the clear objective to be back here next Aug with more miles on the clock in a better positition to be starting right back for the next decade.

I don’t agree that means Dyche doesn’t want him, I think that’s just a binary assumption and speculation - we have seen with Dobbin, Simms and Branthwaite under this director football that loans can be used developmentally to add expierence and return and recontribute to the first team. So I think your point is a bit of a flat tyre

You could be right that he has an opportunity now, I’d be happy if he took it - I’d be surprised if he does though - because expierence is letting him down. If he gets the nod on Tues he gives the manager a decision to make - I hope he does. But if not and he’s not getting mins at the end of Jan, it’s just illogical to keep him in my opinion, your denying him the thing he needs most to grow and be our starting right ful come Aug.

I don’t know what people are so afraid off really.

…..Barkley and Osman were both Academy players who had serious injury at key stage of their development, indeed Barkley’s loans were not at all successful. For every player you mention, there’s probably ten times that who struggle for game time. Just look at who we have out on loan now, with the likes of Warrington getting virtually no games for Plymouth, Reece Welch struggling at lowly Forest Green. A loan spell finished Galloway.

The situation with Patterson is different because now is when we need transition. We need him to show Mykolenko levels of improvement because if we bring in another RB the writing is on the wall.

What a weekend for Nathan. A win, clean sheet and an assist. Celtic lose again and Rangers win the league cup.

Not la la land but if used correct it’s beneficial, holgate for instance is a case of get some of his wages off the wage bill and put him in the shop window obviously it doesn’t always work out. If we was in a position for patterson to go out on loan for a season and play regular no doubt he would learn a lot from the regular games, what’s the most consecutive games he has ever played in his career? At a guess I’d say about 10. Unfortunately he’s been managed wrong by being needed here even tho he wasn’t ready for premier league football, and if I have to watch him be behind young I’d rather he was out on loan gaining experience rather than last 10 minutes cameos what are useless really.

 

[BurghToffee]

This thread is as bonkers and hilarious as always with Celtic fans hating an Everton player only because he used to play for Rangers.

Just because he stopped their 10 in a row they sang about for 6 years by winning the league before joining Everton.

Also the amount of made up stuff in here is comical.

He isn’t on 70k I know as a fact.
