I know, before I say it, that my right back solution will not please everyone, but I would be quite happy at this stage, to offer W/ham Patterson and say 10mill for their right back.
Great defender, and to a limited degree, can get forward. In our present situation, it's a deal that I could live with, thus allowing Jake to go in as c/back along with Branthwaight.
{Ed025's Note - they have a couple AB, do you mean Wan-Bissaka?..

Here's another solution to the right back problem. Why not give Patterson a run out. Every time he played last season he did a job, only to be dropped next game and became a scapegoat for our crap defence while Tarky, Keane and Mikolenko kept getting picked game after game and were worse than Patto.

My honest opinion is that Patto didn't regularly do a job last season. How many managers have we had who haven't trusted him? Are they all wrong? Fairly sure he was here when Carlo was, and he didn't trust him either?
Just my opinion, like. When we signed him initially, I was quite excited to be honest, but it just hasn't worked out.

I rate Patterson, but think he will go and blossom for another club. Had a lot of niggling injuries, and confidence won't be high being behind Obrien at right back. If he goes in 2 years, we will be saying why couldn't he play like that for us. Just my opinion though.
