Transfer in's and out's rumours etc.

Roberts is only 21 and had a few injuries, if he can stay injury free, maybe loan out for a while though I'd keep him as back up if MB thinks it worthwhile. He has extremely quick feet and arrives late usually unmarked in box. Injuries have hampered his appearances as has MB preference to keep with Paddy and Rodrigo probably battling with Pablo for No10.

Last night Roberts looked like he thought he was Michel Platini. He was ambling around with the air of someone who thought he was above getting stuck in or trying. He tried 5 back flicks, none of which came off, and beyond those times he lost possession, almost every pass he made went astray - even the best players try back flicks maybe once a game at most, knowing they are a very high risk attempt at keeping possession and creating something. Some of his were in his own half- just ridiculous.

Needs to come down a peg or two and realise that promotion was achieved but his part in it was a bit part - he has talent and promise but there's more to 'making it' as a top player than that.

What about the part Rodrigo was looking for the ball and it was between hes feet all the time i laughed my head off.
I wish i knew how to ping videos.
And yes Roberts in the premier league i don't think so.

Rodrigo will be fine, he got no service whatsoever last night, As you say he fecked up between his feet a lot, probably as he had to keep dropping so deep for the ball fecked his game up. He will be fine in Prem and has pace to burn..

Roberts has had time to prove hes not good enough, lets extend the same courtesy to Rodrigo at least....

The Udinese Rod has agreed to come to us but news is they want 36 mil (pounds) and we only offering 25. Thought when we first went in asking price was 31 and we were going to pay that wonder what is going on. The dude from Liverpool was ready to sigh and MB told the club he doesn't want him After our first 2 big signings, I'm scared for any more big ones to come in lol

I agree on rodrigo think he'll be fine. Can't imagine he's ever played a game like that at that frenetic speed and poor skill level (ours ) before.

Showed a couple of moments of class. Should take our penalties from now on too

[Rev72]

We still need a few more in..sooner rather than later as they will have to be 'Bielsafied'...which can take a while.

I think if you read my comments in the matchday thread I conceded I was overly pessimistic about the team and our prospects, and was very complimentary about nearly all the players

And there my friend in one little sentence you have summed yourself up.

Was joking - he was trying too hard to impress you could see his brain couldn’t override the instinctive leg dangle. Like the look of Rodrigo - good pass in the build up to the Klich goal. To be fair to PB it was one of his better games and he took his goal well.

Wasn't really aimed at you my friend.
