HankMarvin Posted 5 February 2023 Share Posted 5 February 2023 ANT FIGHT Wolves and Leicester in transfer battle to snap up Sunderland’s highly-rated keeper Anthony Patterson Alan Nixon SUNDERLAND keeper Anthony Patterson should be heading for the Premier League in the summer — with Wolves and Leicester making him a major target. The 22-year-old has become one of the best young stoppers around and the top-flight pair will have a go for him in the next transfer window. While the Black Cats have promotion ambitions of their own this season they could cash in on their home-grown starlet and collect around £10million if they fail to go up. Wolves chief Julen Lopeteguisees Patterson as the ideal choice to come in and compete with, and eventually take over from, Portuguese international Jose Sa. Patterson may have to wait for his chance if he goes there and that will be part of the equation as he looks at his best options come the summer. Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers is looking for a new long-term successor to Kasper Schmeichel and Patterson is firmly on his radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do seem to buy a lot of top youth keepers, only to never use them. I hope Rodgers realises that Ward is simply not a No.1 keeper and we will get someone this summer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Bingles Posted 6 February 2023 Share Posted 6 February 2023 I’m sure Rodgers and everyone at the club can see Ward isn’t up to scratch. We’ll have a new keeper come next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson hit it well, and it went through about 3 players and he saw it about 12 yards out. Not sure he is ready for the prem yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a pointless metric, it proves nothing. There is no true metric that would show who is the best, that’s my point really… it’s blue tinted spec nonsense from our fan base because he won player of the year at Preston. Whose other recent notable winners include Ryan Mcgivern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's blue tinted specs to take on board numerous other clubs positive reactions to him really, possibly if they said he was shite and everyone disagreed. Not sure if Ryan McGivern is a joke (hard to know with him 😂) but he didn't play for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s blue tinted specs to proclaim he’s the best keeper in the championship last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMELcfc Posted 13 February 2023 Share Posted 13 February 2023 Someone online was making a lot of fuss about the Plymouth Goalkeeper I think, and wondering why no one in the top divisions has even sniffed around... "Best in the league by a mile" and all that. And then I read last week, he is injured for the rest of the season, so would be perfect I'd still rather we go for a better/bigger profile, as it isn't just ability alone you need, it's the ability to perform at a higher level under a bigger spotlight/extra pressure. Lafont is the man on a lot of clubs lips... that would be my first choice, having watched him (once...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
