Can he fix his stamina issue?
It would need a loan, but he’s too old for that. Like clockwork, his Huddersfield manager also mentioned the same problem. But if wishes were horses, we’d loan him to a midtable championship team with huge stakes and minutes. That’s what we are doing for Patino.
Loan. Game time. Gym. Mental. Luck with fitness.
He’s too good for the championship, he’d be a key player at a number of prem teams. Villa, Chelsea and now Newcastle all showing interest. He’s a fair bit older than Patino and should be entering his prime years.
Proof that player quality is everything. Arteta with shit players: 8th. Arteta with good players: title challenge.
Lack of pragmatism
No X factor. Small teams can’t play a “team” sport( for lack of a better word). They need an X factor. Someone who stands out and gets you those 10 goals. They don’t have a “front three” or a midfield “3”. They have no solutions off bench.
They don’t have that man.
