    I stand by I think Patto be better in PL, less corner crowding etc.

    It’s without question he can be upgraded of course but I don’t fear starting with him one bit.

    Mate id love to see the Wembley squad start against West Ham, ive never felt so connected to an safc team that that day.

    They are not perfect, they aren't superstars but they give their all and I don't want to lose that, I want to hear "one of our own" ringing around d the sol

    I really want Patto to stay and compete with whoever comes in and I hope he has the mentality to do that.

    The club will know they need to maintain that team spirit, it'll be one of the big things they'll look at when recruiting players

    Signing new players and losing existing players doesn't mean the team spirit drops

    I agree there's no certainty that players can't step up, I'd say the best people to judge that will be RLB KS and co who see them in training all the time

    The club won't get every decision right this summer but the core of last seasons team isn't going to be ripped apart imo

    If neil leaves its because he won't sign a contract not because the club want him gone

    I’d absolutely love that on some levels. Either way I can’t wait to see the smile on his face the first time he’s on a premier league pitch

    I worry about him, his day this season was a 2 month spell in the middle of the season and that’s in the championship and we’re suddenly expecting him to look the part at the next level

    he’s 2/3 years older than sidiki and diarra and their current attributes and potential is higher. The way current transfers are going and the links, I think you’d be truly hard pressed to find 3 from that starting 11 who are truly safe.


    Neil leaves, Henderson on a free, Neil fee leveraged into another cm

    people were happy with Patterson until the links appeared because they’re marked upgrades, enzo and diarra have to start leaving one spot and if they sign someone of similar calibre Neil isn’t getting in

    Stunning at times for Gladbach.

    He was in goal for them when we went to a game there and he was ridiculous. His reactions are absolutely berserk.

    It may not be a case of him not signing a contract mate. Sounds like it is all on Neil in that way. Be two parties needing to agree. If Neil cant get what he wants / feels he deserves, then there is no blame on him or the club.

    ****ing hell, they make him sound like some kind of footballing shape shifter who depending on what the team needs, can morph into either Kante or Modric <laugh>

    You can have hope all day. I hope I win the lottery. But it won’t happen

    Be realistic

    I fully get the view point I just don’t think it’s grounded in realism of football in 2025 that’s all. In an ideal world we’d love that but if we actually did that. It’d be suicide and an awful business move from the owners (starting with majority of the same lineup as Wembley)

    I do hope we keep a hold of all of them and they battle for their place as I agree I would hate to rip it apart.

    But that’s what they need to be (squad depth/ competition) for me bar a few who I think can step up.

    I'm not sure that's a fair thing to assume from what's been said, we all would absolutely love if the same XI could step up and survive in the premier league. Doesn't mean it actually could happen and the club would be very silly to assume it could.

    Read it on here mate. Patto a middling Champ keeper according to some. Not saying they are wrong, all about opinions.
