✍️ OFFICIAL Charlie Patino (Out)

[Blood on the Tracks]

If we can transition 1-2 kids into first team squad players every 2-3 years we've done exceptionally well.

Patino would be way down the pecking order at CM next season. It probably is better for him to make a full time move away and really try to cement himself as a starter at a Championship side for a while. I respect it.

We can always put in a buyback or first refusal or whatever.

Come on Werder, do your job and use your connection to Mertesacker.

Actually a little disappointed he's going now, don't really have another profile like him both in the first XI or the academy right now. Very much 1 of 1 as a player. Buyback is very smart, and I think he does need this move in order to play regularly without being at the mercy of a loan.

The thing about Loan players is that if they aren't an absolute raving success, they usually aren't priority players, which is why Patino probably wants to avoid that and go be a proper contender somewhere. Maybe at a team that plays a bit more football on the ground.

I’d rather we keep him and give him a chance in pre-season instead of Havertz

Honestly a bit sad to see him go, but that has probably more to with me following him closely last season. He has a future career in football no doubt, probably not here though sadly.

I think he could have had a future here but given the standard we're looking to achieve, he'd need to be a player who either peaks early or is a generational player. They'd need to be Saka level off the bat, and not even Saka that debuted vs Qarabag, Saka that had already played 50 odd games for us. Can think of quite a few we have now in that bracket but none of them have Patino's profile.

Wonder if we manage to get a fee like City gets for their unknown youth players

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

There still no info about how much we asking can we do like man city and get 15M?

Buyback clause is necessary in case he turns real deal

 

[Wounded Healer]

I dont understand why not giving him a chance while Elneny is still here.

 

[NieThePiet]

I dont understand why not giving him a chance while Elneny is still here.

because Elneny will already get close to 0 minutes, so Patino wouldn't too and U23 makes no sense for him anymore.

 

[lomekian]

because Elneny will already get close to 0 minutes, so Patino wouldn't too and U23 makes no sense for him anymore.

Also Patino has made it clear he won't re-up his contract and wants to leave for regular first team football.

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

Just let the kid go

 

[Tom Mix]

We need to get rid of players like Patino so we can sign more Cedrics.

 

[Tourbillion]

Bunch of chumps who insisted this "technically gifted" midfielder was ever good enough for us.

Slow as **** and not even close to technically elite.

 

[Tourbillion]

I dont understand why not giving him a chance while Elneny is still here.

Watch his highlights and tell me if his first touch and positional brain are up to snuff.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

I dont understand why not giving him a chance while Elneny is still here.

Just like Balogun he want starter role we can't give that here so better sell and have buyback clause

 

[TheGreatWright8]

It's a real shame about Charlie

 

[Mitch]

Letting Patino go and keeping guys the level Elneny and Partey is sickening.

What ? Your actually comparing Patino to Partey?

They are not even in the same stratosphere as players currently. I hope Charlie has a good career and improves his game to the point Arsenal look to bring him back. Currently at this stage he needs to play games and he won’t get that at Arsenal.
