Patrick Roberts - signing confirmed 19/07

[Rorz88]

You cant judge him on 10 minute cameo's for Fulham, unfortunately Kit symons was only bothered about escaping relegation, so he played all of the old heads.

My mate the Fulham said he was screaming for fofana to be played more last season and yet he persisted with Scott Parker.

Roberts looks like a top quality prospect, has all the skills to go very far if he works hard at it. Would love to see him make the first team in a couple of years

 

[I'm no cynic but...]

From the outskirts of London to Manchester is a bit of a cultural upheaval, but if he is more than willing to give up the bright lights and to ignore London's major teams, then his attitude is certainly the right one for what we are trying to develop.

If a real manager had said that then that manager would have lost his credibility, but Ball was Ball and should never have been a manager anywhere, let alone at our club.

If they invented time machines.....

would love it if we bought him. i wouldn't want him just to be an eds player though, id want hime to play in all the cup games and get some prem minutes swell. he is one of the most talented youngsters in the country and if he doesn't get a chance no one will imo

Know little to nothing about him but a bit worried his arrival will limit the development and game time of barker. I think we should sign him but loan him out to a team that he would regularly start for. Our young lads need game time it's invaluable for their development.

Barker has signed on loan for Leeds.

Heard he was heading there but wasn't sure if it was confirmed or paper b.s.

Is Patrick Roberts a better option than Sterling all together?

yes

Hope he's not the new Buster Phillips

Hope he's not the new Buster Phillips

I think he's more of a younger, whiter, shorter and more technical version of a centrally playing Kiki Musampa. Might be right footed too, couldn't say.
