    Awesome if true. He’s brilliant. Man City connection paying off.

    He was rated the next big thing, but unfortunately it hasnt worked out for him yet.
    Coming to us would be a great fit for both club and player.

    According to Wikipedia he plays as a winger for SAFC on loan from Man City. That was quick!

    He was excellent at Celtic. Cracking left peg on him. Would be a class signing at this level IMO.

    He’s only got 6 months left on his City deal and at 23 I doubt it’s getting renewed.

    Based on that I reckon it will be a permanent for a very low fee with a sell on clause. Letting him go now rather than losing him for free in summer

    Replacement for McGeady ???
    Just got a text off a very old pal in Glasgow to say he heard he's coming to Sunderland
    Asked him if he rated him just said

    Seems to have quite the checkered loan career but did well at Celtic. Have to assume he’d be more than capable at L1 level

    His lack of game time is irrelevant to me. You only have to look at what LJ has done with Pritchard who’d been doing nothing for a couple of years

    Saw him a bit at Derby last year and was decent in a struggling side.

    Celtic were desperate to sign him permanently. Was talk of £6m
    Since then his career looks like it stalled a bit but he's only 24 League one and the way we play might be a perfect fit.

    He'll be in exactly the same situation as Pritchard.
    Both were sold to Premiership clubs for over 10m as youngsters but it hasnt worked out for them, so theyll be both trying to get their careers back on track with us. If it works out we will have signed 2 absolute bargains.
    We are starting to see now the quality Pritchard possesses that once made him such a highly rated player. Potentially he looks a class above League 1 and even the Championship. Hopefully Roberts can make the same impression.

    Pretty exciting news although I was also excited at signing Jones last season. Good start to the window if it comes off.

    Hopefully Johnson gets him going again like he has with Pritchard, them two are over £20 million pounds worth of players at one point playing in league one man

    A small man but good?

    Wait for official announcement...

    He is a winger, but I reckon we need a striker more... Still if he's good he's good...

    Know nowt about him.
