    I think Roberts can play on either wing, like Joz. So if we're looking to increase chances of crosses they can play on opposite flanks.
    I actually expect Roberts to play on the left for us at the start of matches as Joz has been best on the right forming a good understanding with Byrne.

    This is the one of all the deadline day 5 I really wanted. It was a position of need, and we certainly need that bit of creativity to help Jozwiak and Lawrence (which fit). This should help us no end.

    He’s left footed. Which is something we need in my opinion. We’ve been playing Knight and Jozwiak on the wings lately and Lawrence would be in ahead of Waghorn I reckon. 3 right footed players as current top choices. Ibe is also right footed, so we need someone who can balance that out and be better than Waghorn.

    If we have got wind of the situation then I'm sure someone at Boro will know about it. They know everything about us and our finances.

    He's not old enough to have left school, he's in his last year.  He hadn't made the decision, that is my point and as I said they wouldn't have let him go if they didn't need the money.  So Derby haven't lost out, they have done what is best for them at this moment in time.

    He's 16... He might be one of the best 16 year olds in the country, but he isn't ready to be the saviour of Derby County and if you think we should be relying on a 16 year old to save us then we are in the poop.
    Delap is doing well for a talented Man City U23 team, but I still wouldn't want him back at Derby right now as he needs to develop in the right age categories first. We've had some success promoting youth recently, but Sibley was the youngest of those and his bright spark has faded recently.
    He wouldn't improve our current first team at this moment, I'm sure if he would then Rooney would've used him more than the 5 minutes against Birmingham when we had already demolished them.
    In another reply you mentioned Mount, Wilson and Tomori. All 19 or older and all of them had had previous first team loans before coming to us. Kaide will possibly get to that level, but it's too much to ask of him right now. I won't be surprised to see him get some loans in for experience in a couple of seasons, but Liverpool won't sign him and loan him out as a 16 year old, that isn't their style. Their development squads are full of talent and they like to keep them in that setup until they're past the U18 level.

    Why would we loan him back to develop him for Liverpool? Doesn't make sense. Our academy is there to develop our players.
    The lad is only 16, and although he is a bright young star, he isn't ready for first team football yet. I wouldn't want us to rely on him to get us out of our current mess.
    If/when he signs for someone else, he will be in with their youth system for another couple of seasons perhaps with some cup appearances in the first team. Don't expect him to be loaned out and star for any first team for a while yet.
    This is like Delap, once he's gone he's gone. The best we can do is get a fee for his potential and have add-ons based on a percentage of his next transfer. If he does well and gets a high value transfer we will get a decent portion based on how his next team (Liverpool) will have helped his development and value increase. If he fades away then we've got a good fee now for someone that didn't quite live up to the hype.
