jimbobgers 121 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Having looked at tavs topic and talking going to the Saudi league I like tav as our right back, I know fans debate on better attacking or not great defensively but with rumours of Saudi bids if they come in serious with a multi million pound offer would it be worth taking due to the stage of his career he is at and see if we can get someone like Patterson back from Everton with sterling in the team as well? Any extra cash could go to more players? I love sterling but he has become so good at so many positions it might be better bringing in a young right back and keeping sterling as midfielder? Or keep tav until he finishes his career? tav might not want to go but curious what you guys think at this stage of his career and the new players we need in?

graeme_4 34,527 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I think Tav will finish his career here unless it’s really silly money that comes in. Whoever replaces him is going to be a step down. Would bite your hand off to get Patterson back, but that isn’t going to happen. Not ever really been convinced by the limited time Sterling has had at RB that he’s the answer there, but in PC I trust. left winger, demise and plymouthranger 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoz 30,843 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 If Tav were to leave for Saudi money, what an investment that would turn out to be. But I think he may want to see out his career at Rangers and break a few personal records. However, I wouldn't be moving Sterling to RB. We would probably have to invest heavily in that position. I never wanted Patterson to leave, but the money was too good. I can't see any way back for him, although he needs to get the fuck out of Everton and away from the dinosaur Dyche.

Jelavic191 4,448 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I’m sure we’d find another right back the question is can we replace the 30+ goals and assists he provides each season? Negri's lovechild, jimbobgers, plymouthranger and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moody Blue 9,357 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 He’ll only leave us if it’s mega money for him and/or too good a fee for us. Whilst Sterling is a Jack of all trades, I also think we need better in midfield so only time would tell if he would then make RB his own. He probably deserves the chance. I liked Patterson so wouldn’t be averse to him coming back (if fee was right) no idea how Ramsay is now that left Aberdeen or the boy that was at Motherwell that left (can’t mind his name and can’t be arsed searching). His contributions and goals will need to be shared around the team, no way we see a RB with these numbers again. Here’s hoping the gaffer is identifying these types of players for next season anyway.

Ibroxholm 2,276 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Was the Brazilian guy we were trying to get from Cyprus in the January window not a right back (or maybe he a left back)?

Somemightsay7 2,408 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Sterling's a central midfielder now so he wouldn't be a replacement. I'd be trying to get Calvin Ramsey. Would imagine Liverpool would sell for the same or less than they paid for him, even a loan with an option. We'd have no chance at Patterson. We'd likely need to get 2 right backs in though. We've been fortunate Tav never misses a game so we can't go into a season with only 1 proper right back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He comes off the bench most games. Very much doubt hes 3rd or 4th choice based on that. Hes too good a player for the spfl. If he leaves them itll be higher end championship/bottom end of prem where hes more likely to keep the stupid money he will be on. As much as I like Tav I do think pattersom deserved to play more i.e moving tav to right mid to accomodate Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
