Next season is 12 months away.
We have a recall on Roberts but doubt we will take it up unless he is smashing it come Christmas

Stop making sense . This is bluemoan.As pithy as that sounds, he was good in his first season, and clearly it's pellegrini's tactics which didn't agree with him - or any winger for that matter. His half dozen goals and 13 assists in 13/14 were a more than decent return and there's no reason to think Pep can't get at least that much out of him.
Very hard to beat players when the entire defence is behind the ball and you're receiving the ball at the 18 yard line with no space to run into. Get him the ball early, on a counter attack and he's a completely different player.
Same goes for crossing - turns out trying to pick out a 5'8" striker in a box packed with 8 defenders over 6 foot isn't particularly productive. When we attacked at pace and he got behind the defence in 13/14, he could pick out Aguero or Negredo just fine.

Source? It was widely reported there was absolutely no recall option on Roberts, and that was the only condition Celtic would accept.
“The deal we have with Manchester City is for 18 months and we did that because we wanted the player to have time to settle and get to know how we play before the summer and next season," Deila told the Glasgow Evening Times.
“We have always believed that he could be a big player for us.
“So there is no way he will be going back to Manchester City before the deal runs out. We made that very clear."
It does but everyone has a ceiling.Why? Surely the arguments that all will be much better under pep applies to navas
I Know, Cetic took Roberts on 29th January 2016 hence 18 months loan which ends in 12 months time. :-)Next season is 12 months away.
Sorry but we have no such option. Celtic insisted it was an 18 month deal with no recall option or no deal.We have a recall on Roberts but doubt we will take it up unless he is smashing it come Christmas

Trust me there definitely is, from someone within the club involved in the deal
