CHAMPIONSHIP CLUBS WANT ROBERTS

Championship clubs are lining up to sign Patrick Roberts; available on a free transfer from Manchester City.

In alphabetical order; Blackburn, Bournemouth, Swansea and Stoke all want to sign the winger.

They didnt get much value from the 10m we got from them for him.

[MickyAdamsFamily]

Aina is a much more believable target.

[HillingdonFFC]

That is a worry about Tete's injury, it must be worse than originally thought.

Said on here Tuesday we might need to get a right back in, got told Tues morning hes expected to be out for months.. Not sure why the club played it down?

[MickyAdamsFamily]

 Hillingdon, do you know what the story is with Christie? So they just not rate him? Malcontent? Something happen that keeps them from using him as a back-up to Tete?

[JimOG]

Aina makes so much sense.

Does to me - transfermkt £6mill - great utility player as well as decent RB

I'll be amazed if we don't sign a right back...

No idea tbh mate, I only get the odd snippet

Have you heard anything re incomings/outgoings WSW?

I wonder if we have someone near signing otherwise why would Silva mention the fact.

I'd take him quite honestly.

Appreciate I'm likely to be in the minority on this one.

Only criticism is he was always too lightweight and easily knocked off the ball.

Another example where signing for a big club is a 'poison chalice'. Look at Piazon, loaned out to 'umpteen' clubs.   

[AnOldBrownie]

Aina makes so much sense.

I'd love this. 

[jayffc]

Come home Aina!!

[FFCFOREVER]

Aina returning would be immense.

[JoeS]

I like Aina and think he's a good player...but he does not fit our system, we need a more attacking right back as our replacement, someone like Fredericks (not that I can see us pulling that off)

[AnOldBrownie]

No Zambo rumors this weekend?

The latest training videos have him working out with the team, but who knows how old those videos are.

Hope he stays.

[Andyb]

Aina be class, such a good player

I agree to some extent - but I think Aina will be great at this level regardless. Checking the Torino squad - they signed a third right back in the summer for £4.5m, so not inconceivable that Aina could be released on loan again.

Plus, this news story would make you think that he would consider leaving his parent club: https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/haters-ex-chelsea-defender-aina-torino-fans/ui785p4k9iyx11rorv0uadm13

He has a lot of skill - but I don't see him playing many games for us.  I feel sorry for him in that he still seems to have the physique of a 15 year old. It would be a wasted signing for both us and him..
