Player Thread: Patrick Roberts

[Nelly's Left Foot]

Not sure what message it sends to the lad when we are looking likely to spend £30 million on Sane who is the same age and same position.

Needs first team football asap

Doesnt Sane play a central midfield role compared to Roberts in a wide position.

Doesnt Sane play a central midfield role compared to Roberts in a wide position.

Pretty sure he plays anywhere across the attacking midfield area but from the few times i have seen him he has been on the wing rather than central

According to the media.

It will turn out to be Schalke trying to push his price up in case anyone does try and sign him.

The Sun are reporting a loan to Bournemouth or Sunderland.

Hope its Bournemouth, he'd come back damaged from working with Allardyce, I think Howe is a good manager and will keep to his way of playing football.

I'd second that although playing in a dog awful Sunderland team is proabably better than sitting on the Bournemouth bench. Good luck to him if he goes.

Problem is Bournemouth have just spent big on a winger and a few strikers, so I doubt Roberts will play.

 

[sam-caddick]

Hopefully Bournemouth.

They for me are more likely to stay up and Howe plays an attacking style of football which will suit Roberts.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

i think a championship club would be better for him, sunderland no way and bounremouth just bought a winger didn't they ?

 

[CityFan94]

Apparently we've opened talks with Celtic over a loan move.

Not a bad move, would gain regular first team experience playing in a team who must win every week and in front of a home crowd of 40,000 - 50,000. Certainly more beneficial for Roberts than playing youth football.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Celtic would be ideal,a chance to gain some confidence with regular football under a decent coach.

Mp included him in the injury list today,since when has he been anywhere near the first team or i have missed it?

 

[KingCarlito]

Bournemouth got Iturbe, same style of player as Roberts. I just wish MP had the balls to try this lad in our team as a sub, at least give him a chance, we paid 12million for him.

He seems to have been injured forever.

Trevor Brooking is sticking his nose in and moaning that we aren't doing enough to develop Roberts.

We've not exactly given him a fair crack, have we?

Whether we have or not it's fuck all to do with Brooking.

 

[Centurions]

Yes we have, he's not even looked half decent for the EDS recently. He needs a loan.

 

[IanBishopsHaircut]

Signed for City July 2015. Been here 6 months

Is the correct answer.
