It almost certainly won't happen, but I wonder if the club would contemplate doing a deal with Celtic to end the loan early and get Roberts back in the squad as injury cover. The second spell hasn't really worked out that well, they're out of the Champions League and they've just signed Musonda on an 18 month loan. It would then give Pep 5 months to work with Roberts before we decide what we're doing with him in the summer.

He is injured

I'm aware of that, but I assume he'll be back sooner rather than later. He originally got injured at the start of December so it's been two months now.

Out till march so in theory should be back to full strength by then.

Would make a lot of sense.

I don't see any issue with what he said.

Wouldn't expect him to say otherwise given the context of the interview. He's talking to kids who are Celtic fans. What's he going to say? "Nah Celtic are shite, atmosphere is shite etc"

I mean we've not exactly given him a chance to play in front of City fans, so of course he'll say the atmosphere at Celtic is better. We've got half a dozen threads in the main forum of our own fans complaining about a lack of atmosphere, so it's a bit of a non-story to have a go at him for echoing those sentiments.

Just sharing the story mate. I thought the more noteworthy part was that he's not opposed to a permanent move there.
 
Poorly advised to return to Celtic, but then again our dogged, and ultimately fruitless, pursuit of Sanchez last summer evidently affected his decision. Hopefully he can get a few games under his belt before now and the season's close, and then we can have a look at him in the summer before deciding what is best. Never keen on writing players off and there is definitely a very good player in there.
