I doubt he will start and I'm not bothered if his career backfires and never takes off. I certainly won't lose any sleep over it. But it would also be nice if he turned into the next Bale knowing Fulham produced him. And good for the England team too

Now, Dannyboi - that post must count as the most "having one's cake and eating too" I have ever read 082.gif

Well he's on the bench again.

H4usuallysitting · October 28, 2015, 08:16:51 PM

He might get a bit of game time

Does anyone know if we had a sell on clause? Would be nice if Madrid or Barcelona pay 80 plus million for him in 5 years time and we got 20% or something.

Max Headroom · October 28, 2015, 09:28:56 PM

I care..... I really wanted him to be playing or us and I do hold kit responsible as if he is good enough for the man city bench we should have been giving him more than five minutes every other game.

All been said before, but I will always follow his career with interest both because he is ex Fulham but also because he is a special talent

I care. The fact is he left for a bigger club, to play at a higher level. You cant blame a player for that.

I just hope he doesn't stagnate there (Adam Johnson, Scott Sinclair, Jack Rodwell), fails to fulfill his potential and ends up sitting on the bench in 8 years time for a lower league, joke of a club like QPR.

Well he got 15 minutes tonight......not sure if that means much....I think City were 4-0 up at the time

I don't care, in fact I don't give a hoot!

I saw Rodney Marsh and later Malcolm MacDonald come through the ranks and be sold before they reached their potential for dubious reasons and I'm still more annoyed by those sales than Roberts.

He is a long way from holding down a position in any senior team and for some reason I think he will be another one who makes a good living but drifts into obscurity.

I will be very surprised if he starts a league game for City this season. His play needs to develop a lot more.

If City run away with the league then perhaps in the dead rubber at the end of the season?
