Stupid comments if he wanted a return to the club. But I doubt he does, and I don't think the decision makers at the club are too fussed after taking the easy option last summer.
 
It's not a question of what the truth is, it's a question of showing respect. He has shown us none in that interview. He can fucking stay in Scotland. Difference between him and sancho: at least sancho has some balls.
 
Anyone seen his quotes regarding Celtic. It appears he would rather be at a club who are pretty much guaranteed the league than have the fight or ambition to make it at city.

He also claims it’s a non contest atmosphere wise between the two clubs.

Seriously underwhelmed by him. IMO he should of gone on loan to a premier league club and showcase his ability in a real league.

Thoughts blues?
 
Journalists tend to bend what has been said. lets get him fit with a few games up North this season and have a look pre season new signings may mean he is surplus to requirements.

He’s probably right about the atmosphere.
 
We bought him and sent him straight out to celtic, we then sent him out the next year he has settled there and is happy, cannot blame his stance, he is playing regulary and still young enough to come back to the prem eventually.

Come back on the off chance he may be on the bench or play every week where you are already loved by fans and in a winning team.

now I consider the scottish league pub football, but I can see his point.

And sorry but park heads atmosphere is decent we cannot really be offended by that considering we have a 74 page thread half of it us saying ours is poor.


It hasn't/didn't work out for the lad here good luck to him if he's happy, god forbid we become like the scouse and arse thinking people should be grateful to have a chance at a sniff playing for us.
 
The same in all walks of life.

Some have the talent to make more of their life but prefer the safety of the apparent security their current job gives them.
For that type of person they have made the right choice and have got it right making their job the way to allow them the means to afford the things in life they want to have or do rather than their job being the most important thing in their life.
 
He obviously doesn't rate himself highly enough to succeed with us. He will fade into obscurity with Celtic but have a nice easy career with them. We need young, hungry players with ambition.

Two years time none of us will even remember his name.

To be honest I don't think many of us actually care as it is. If he does progress at Celtic, just hope we have a sell on clause.
 
A waste of year for him going back to celtic. Felt if he had moved to a premier league team being a world cup year, he really could of been a bolter for the england squad.

Poor game today against Motherwell.

I agree wasn't his day. I think his decision to stay at Celtic backfired for him, even if he thought it was best to get regular playing time in front of the fans who love him (Celtic fans are crazy), ultimately it was a comfortable choice to make and at his age he should have picked the option to push his career further. I no longer think he will have a chance at City, still hoping City give Bersant Celina the chance here, actually wants to plus for us.

Yeah, it's a hard one though. Maybe Roberts has been close enough to good players to develop an acute sense of self-awareness sufficient to recognise his own limits. If that's the case, we should thank him for not wasting our time and wish him well.
 
Hit the bar with a decent effort, but every move he made with the ball, save one, was inside, and he continually drifted across the park once he had released it; hard to tell if he could discipline himself to play out wide and stretch the game. When he did attempt to take the ball down the line, he was immediately snuffed out. First game back, though, so hopefully he'll gather speed soon.
 
Pep has this strange ability to judge a player within a few training sessions.. Its either ability, attitude or both. But he gets it right. I personally thought Roberts would make it but he's done nothing to make me think otherwise
 
Never going to make it here the moment he pushed for a second loan to Celtic just to walk a shit league and get spanked in Europe.

People in this league wanted him(Southampton iirc), look at the state of the England squad, he could have played himself in to that in a world cup year(assuming he didn't get injured). He took the easy option and has dropped hints he'd happily stay there longer. Fuck him off
