Things do change massively in footy circles, and Amad will be in their set up as soon as he is fit. The only change to that will be Tag out the door. That's not me guessing it came from a agent mate, who BTW deals with young guns at Man Utd.
Some thing else that changed, it was Roberts had a deal in place just before the start of this season, but that changed, things do change when other clubs look hard at you, no matter how many times you say your happy here.
Fingers crossed, I hope you're right Edit - just read the news, fantastic that we can retain our quality players
Fair comment...I guess it depends on whether the impact the 9/10 performances have justifies carrying the 5/10 performances. Mowbray loves him...he's far better placed and a far better judge than me. I'm just saying, to me, he looks like a luxury we can't afford when he's off.
I feel exactly the same to be honest. Don't think we'd miss him much if he left we have options there but really not too bothered whether he's here or not.
Chuffed about Roberts. Yes his numbers are low for direct contributions, he’ll want them to go up, but he’s such a threat constantly. Imo when he’s at his best, he’s my favourite player to watch.
I said earlier in the thread it's players like Roberts who are worth the entrance fee alone. He gets you off your seat every time he gets the ball at his feet. This tops a great weekend, three points, me and the bride are away for a couple of nights to celebrate her birthday tomorrow having driven through biblical wind and rain just to get to Keswick and now Pat has signed....happy days indeed.
Really happy that Paddy’s signed an extension. Don’t know if it’s just me,but I get more of a buzz when he picks the ball up, than when Jack gets it, even though Jack’s more likely to score .
I do think Roberts is more of a team player and our strikers will benefit from him. It's a little *insert appropriate word* that the players furthest forward, for the three goals, were Jobe, Triantis and Aouchiche. It just shows that if you get in that area goals will come, the balls were all delivered from wide positions. As Bob Shankly once said, football is a simple game, so get the ball wide and fire it in.
There's something very exciting about a tricky winger having the full backs life. Must be a nightmare trying to plan against the pair of them, double up on one and the other could run riot. It's lovely to see
