Official: City Sign Roberts from Fulham

[Kippax.]

Talksport have just tweeted -

' Another young player takes a couple of years out of football and joins Man City'.

How the fuck can we as a club allow this to keep happening? The media need someone to have a word.

Anyone who thinks there is no agend is an idiot.

Like he was a regular it Fulham?

where do they employ these dick Heads from?

 

[waspish]

Just out of interest, what do you think having a word would achieve?

tell them we want them to advertise all city related stuff and we willing to pay big Bucks..

Love the forward planning at the moment. If just one of these teenage signings hits in the next few years it will save us a fortune.

Though it might make it harder to attract local talent.

I don't agree.

Any youngster that comes and looks around our Academy should be blown away by the facilities on offer and if they live in the area, they will already be aware of what's happening at City and the possibilities that come with playing for the club in the future.

Welcome to Manchester, Patrick. I hope you reach your full potential and have a long and successful career with us.

Think he did, yeah. Lets pretend that Delph did as well.

Delph's debut was against Chester City which I presume is the name of our women's side.

OK just ignore the 'love the forward planning' bit and concentrate on the minor 'though' bit

Im excited. I'm sat on the same chair they have at City! :) That video [p53] he looks great. Not great opposition granted but you can see he has the close control, skill and speed in abundance. I'm looking forward to this one.

Think this is a very astute signing. The HG issue will not be an issue in a couple of seasons and we sign a player who could be as valuable as Sterling, so we save in the long-term scheme of things.

Interesting little exchange between the guy from the TV show pointless (a Fulham fan and Rory Smith..

Yep another example of how ill informed and totally clueless talksport is. I can't listen to the self congratulating, over indulgent tripe they put out and de-tuned the station from all devices I have. I love opinionated people as long as they have a balanced view, sadly talksport seem to employ exactly the opposite - clueless sycophants.

They were spunking over him in April.

This comment impressed me "He's 18 and some consider him quite a talent, but translate that to where Sterling is two years on and it makes you realise how harshly Sterling is being judged by some people, and how much of a talent he actually is. Far beyond his years"

I have been pretty damn impressed at how city have bought 3 of the best english talents for the next 12 years or so and just hope they do a major job for us in that time
