Signing a player LIKE Patterson wasn’t a bad idea we can’t afford the best so signing potential is a good plan but unfortunately he hasn’t really shown that potential yet and I agree with others that we’re getting to a point where it isn’t very likely that he will I hope I’m wrong but he just hasn’t done a lot in his career up to now to make it seem likely.
Definitely
He was signed as a young player with potential who could go on to make the club money via a sell-on if he improved
Everton should have been doing that regularly as opposed to signing loads of old crocks and paying them massive wages
I've thought that we should have been playing him recently as he's not put in any worse performances than any of our other players in that position
I've also felt it would be unwise to loan him out over the winter window as we're pretty short there
As it is I was probably wrong as it doesn't seem like he'd get a game even if he were the last player in the squad
He probably should have gone out on loan during the winter window if Dyche had no plans to use him
I can't see him having much of a future at Everton unless a different manager comes in and for some reason wants to give him a go
