We’ll need that extra forward if there’s doubts over his long term fitness. I know we’re not seeing him as an out-and-out striker but he is expected to contribute a decent number of goals to the season. We need those goals! The backroom management team will be franticly weighing up options once they know the problem I’m sure.Roberts has an injury issue that they need to find the extent of according to Beale ! Spiffing
Loving the fact in his interviews he states he’s bringing more of the youngsters into his extended senior squad and will not be letting certain ones out on loan, looks like a good sign for promoting from within rather than loans which must inspire the youngsters no end !We’ll need that extra forward if there’s doubts over his long term fitness.

MB continues to impress with his pre-season interviews as he gets to see more of his squad.

From Wikipedia, it looks like he gets a decent amount of goals at Championship level.... but a striker who is only 5' 8".
Can't see that happening, there will be loads of clubs ready to take him on loan including some Prem teams I reckon. Would be a useful addition. We really need someone in who can score regularly or even 2.You must log in or register to see images
Quoted by Mck & minor issue injury so give him a chanceRoberts has had a scan on a muscle injury ! Another sicknote seems to have been acquired asap

Hope he recovers in time for the season opener........just the thought of the possibility of Bonne in the starting line-up has me feeling all peculiar
Some of those are very decent indeed.You must log in or register to see media12 goals in 46 appearances last time. Some good ones in there too. Looks like a confidence player, if Beale thinks he has it in him……..
No idea. As always our (the fans) expectations were probably too high. I remember him scoring a couple of cracking headers for us. 12 from 46 in League One is hardly stunning, but there seems to be something to work with at least.Some of those are very decent indeed.
Did we manage to alienate this fella when he first signed and did not score many??
Totally agree Sb. Too early to cast him aside. I don’t think Ipswich are up for him (or can afford him). But I do think he’s worth a season with MB and an opportunity in games (if he thinks there’s something to work with).No idea. As always our (the fans) expectations were probably too high.

Totally agree, we must have seen something to pay a fair whack of cash. 1 goal in 3 for Charlton which is a better return than our forwards have managed recently, MW clearly didn't like certain players and consequently gave them no chance in our squad. I will put a couple of quid that he is a lot better than the few games we have witnessed him playing inTotally agree Sb. Too early to cast him aside.

Villa are on a pre season trip to Australia. Many of the potential loanees are on the trip, so Gerrard and his team can look at them - like Beale has with our U23s - they won’t be making any loans until they come back, next week. We might not get any, but patience Chicken Little, patience.Doesn't look like we're gonna get any Villa players in on loan despite Beale's links. Disappointing
