Has the question been posed about Patto yet? I don’t think we would be buying a keeper for this price for him to play second fiddle.
My thoughts are that Patterson will be sold and we'll bring in a good 32/34yo for cover ... ... Young is good enough for the Championship and should be playing at his age.
Well we are seeing how this model works and evolves, league one young players who would be close to a top flight team for a few years signed at rock bottom prices, if they don’t work nothing lost, if they do we are a better team and we create value. Championship, repeat league but with better quality kids, keep your good kids by playing them, get promoted while making a profit on transfers. Top flight, cash in on a couple of the kids, as we probably promised them we would do to get them here, which also makes us more attractive for the next tier of younger, but not kids, players and approach the transfer window with money n the bank. Always said this was the plan.
The more we can rinse clubs who are up against PSR in the next few days the better. However it definitely represents a cautionary tale. We never want to be on the other side of that equation!
