Player Thread: Patrick Roberts

He looks a tidy player whenever I've seen him. Which isn't a great deal admittedly. Hopefully he'll see some game time before the end of the season or if not be given a chance next year.
 
He got a mention from Pellers yesterday in the press conference https://www.mcfc.com/News/Team-news...grini-press-conference-injury-news/1452848846

'Pellegrini also seemed to hint at a loan move for Patrick Roberts.
The summer signing has been out of action with an injury for the last few weeks but the Chilean ruled out any permanent transfers in the month of January.'

'Patrick has been injured for the last two or three weeks – now we’ll talk about his future,' Manuel said.
'It was important for him to work with the first-team for the first half of the season, now we’ll see about the next part. I say once again, we are happy with the squad, we will not bring anyone in and no-one will go.'
 
Trevor Brooking is sticking his nose in and moaning that we aren't doing enough to develop Roberts.

Trevor Brooking is on my 'Biggest Cunts Who Haven't Played for the Rags' list.

Why in God's name was the **** Knighted? His voice also grates. He's an insufferable boring **** who achieved averageness in bucket loads on the football pitch......which is overlooked because the fucking boring **** has moved into football politics and all the snivelling boring fucking **** ever talks about is England, and grass fucking roots. He's a ****.

Disagree about him as a player. Really rated him.
 
"My source", my arse. Are you the head of MI fucking 5???

He was making what we in the industry call a "joke".

Anyway could be a great move but it's only going to be for a few months so after he's gotten himself integrated he might get half a dozen games at best? Not convinced it's worth it to be honest and the Celtic fans are pissed off because they think they are becoming some sort of loan feeder club thanks to their chairman's son working for us.
 
He has to go out on loan imo. I assumed when he didn't go out on loan at the start of the season, he'd be getting a bit of action. Buying him and not playing/loaning him is surely not good for his development. Hell, I don't see why we didn't loan him back to Fulham.
 
Probably a good loan, being a winger for Celtic should be a pretty easy place for him to shine and get peoples attention. He's the sort of player that needs to succeed somewhere easy before anyone will even give him a real chance to play somewhere tough.

Spot on. I think it'll challenge him physically too.
