I feel we really need someone who can dribble or plays direct like he does. I think he has enough quality to be in the squad. Most of the time, we really struggle doing a passing game against lesser opposition who always park the bus, and going direct by someone who actually knows how to keep the ball will normally result in a penalty or clear the defenders to take a shot
Regarding his preference to join Celtic, I can understand it because of the chance to play in the Champions League, IF they qualify. At the same time, seeing how he fares in the Premier League, maybe playing for a club like Southampton or Swansea, is just as much a requirement for City if we really intend for him to be in the first team next season.
I wouldn't want him getting too attached to a club like Celtic. Make him extend his contract or get an option on one of Celtic's potential talents (Tierney perhaps), if we do accede to his request wanting Celtic.

Since Celtic are apparently skint, tell them they can have Roberts for Dembele. Both of them.

We need to get a decent fee for Roberts because Celtic will sell him back to the Premier League in the next 2 or 3 years - for significantly more than they pay for him. We will need a sell on clause or a buy back. Roberts has had his head turned but I really don't see the Scottish League as a great move for the lad - so short term.

Don't what Celtic can afford but if we do sell him anything under 10m we should insist in a 50% sell on clause

£20/25m buy-back clause. If his value increases we can sign him and sell him on.Don't what Celtic can afford but if we do sell him anything under 10m we should insist in a 50% sell on clause

Actually a large sell-on clause would also work very well

Sick of hearing about him tbh, time he did something worthy of the news. I blame Brenda, but fook me why would you go and play in a level below the EDS.
