I don't think it's hard to understand why people want an upgrade on Roberts. For me I don't have a negative feeling towards him, I like him and enjoy watching him. It's simply that in the time we've had him, we've had a series of left wingers who can match what Roberts does (graft, good to watch, players have to double up) but who also score goals that have won us games. I don't know why anyone wouldn't want that on both sides of the pitch.
Exactly the same was said about Ipswich. The risk paid off, Premier League football and millions to go with it

I think the fact they aren’t ‘plucky little Luton the underdog’ anymore has knackered them, still got some good players there
We are doing things correctly for the first time possibly since Bob Murray days. we’re buying correctly and making sure we are established.
We are looking at loan deal with €15mill if we go up but Westerlo want deal now are we are in talks with €7mill
Been watching a lot of Frigan over the last few days and I really like him. Think he's a player that can really thrive in the Championship with his movement and link play. He's an out and out 9 so that gives us a different profile to Isidor and Mayenda.
No comparison really, they snuck up through the play offs and hardly spent Ipswich were taking huge risks in the championship (according to some on here) but those ‘risks’ paid off and now they’re facing Manchester City today with millions gained whether they stay up or not I’m sure Sheff United will be just fine too…
It's so boring buying 'proven Championship players' and grinding your way up like Luton, Sheff Utd, Burnley ... ... I'm absolutely loving the risks we're taking with the likes of Isidor, Le Fée, Mundle, Bellingham, etc. It's absolutely fascinating unless you just want to bulldoze your way to the PL at any cost.
And the fact that these players can only get better is a big plus. I think that at least half of the first 11 can play in the premier League once they find their feet there is another big plus for me. Some "championship quality" players struggle there
