Roberts

[for*sttown63]

Another great display by Roberts last night, barring his defensive duties, and it was actually good that he had to walk around the pitch when he got subbed so he could receive the applause he got. I’m just wondering now how long are we going to realistically keep hold of him.

I’m not sure on his contract but I assume it runs out next year, so if he has 10-15 goals by Christmas will we cash in if an offer comes in around the 300-500k region? I’m pretty sure someone from league one like Sunderland (in his native North East) or a championship club could take a punt on him.

Obviously I hope he doesn’t leave but I doubt he will want to stick around much longer in the National League if we don’t go up…perhaps even if we do. I think 500k, with the recruitment history under these owners, would go a long way to building an even stronger squad for next season.

Thoughts?

I had the same thoughts early on last night....he does look exciting and seems to be gaining in confidence with every game!
He laid quite a few chances on a plate last night...I don't know how Mitchell missed the one from 6 yards in the 2nd half!
He's probably our biggest asset at the moment and he's only going to get better.....hopefully with us!

I admire his qualities no end. However last night at times I think his final ball was well below par. He’s capable of achieving at a higher level no doubt but I reckon he will benefit from spending the rest of the season with us and learning from the coach here. Unless someone does come in with a ridiculous offer which we can’t turn down.
