I'll also repeat what I said a day or two ago about us fans wanting a new keeper.

It's not just the fans who want a new one. The club do too. It's the club who think Patto isn't good enough at the moment to be number 1 in the Premier League. I trust the club's judgement more than my own.

Mikautadze is by far the best option but he’s already too high of a reach if we are being honest. He’s gonna have European football offers left and right.

Abline is still good and has a lot of promise. Wouldn’t be sad if we got him instead

Hey stick to your guns! He's signing a 4 year deal tomorrow and we will all be happy.

I dont agree mate, Patto is not as bad as half of yous are making out . Ive said it once and ill say it again i feel like he is getting badly disrespected on here.

Of course id love a World class keeper for Patto to compete against, its far from a priority position for us to fill though. Infact id say its last port of call behind getting a new LW, RW, CB and a striker.

I don’t get the disrespected bit people have watched him in every game last season and made there own minds up that we need an upgrade,the lad had a great game In the playoff final but over all last season in my opinion didnt look like he’d be consistent enough in the prem

I think Patto is an OK keeper...not great, just OK.... Sadly OK doesn't cut it in the Premier league

Yep.

You can get away with being okay in the championship, but in the premier league you get found out very quickly.

Look at Ipswich’s keepers last season - solid championship options but very rarely got a clean sheet. It’s a big step up in quality.

Depends how much the sell on is as well though. Didn't Villa sign someone back from Hull recently and it worked out as a pittance because they had a buy back and a sell on clause?

I'm a bit sceptical about buybacks. Makes it feel like you're just developing another team's player for them and I wouldn't like to do that for a team in the league we are in.

I won't be surprised if the buy back is for around the £40 million mark and chelsea will have a set time frame to activate it

Liverpool have a similar buy back when they sold Quansah, it increases if they don't activate it in 2 years

I'd be more inclined to believe the Guardian "story" if it was tweeted by a journalist as news or given its own story on their page. Buried in the rumour mill column just feels like a junior reporter summarising rumours from the internet.

Im sure many on here didnt think Jason Steele would be a Premiership player aswell one day

The last refuge of someone who is wrong is using a very niche 1 in a million example of when that event happened

Want me to name 4 billion human beings who weren’t up to being a Premier League player and indeed didn’t go on to be one?

Name what you want mate, im not here to spend my day arguing with loads of random people ive never met before.
All im saying is replacing Patto would be last on my priority list, and we should be grateful for what Pattos done for us

opinions isn’t it, I think he’s nowhere near as good as you rate him

Thats keepers in a nutshell, they will always divide fans.

I'm of the opinion that a keeper needs to be a good shot stopper first and foremost, and Patto is very good at that. Keepers that are at his level for shot stopping, plus good at distribution and at commanding their area usually cost an absolute fortune (not to mention a home grown player).

I'm all for competition though and I can see Patterson relishing it.
