Dava75 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I thought when we played them at the end of the season he played CF and was a real handful for our 2 centre halves. He had good pace and movement, always made himself available for the ball, carried it well and passed neatly....and I actually commented to my lad that this is the kind of CF we need in our team. However, if I remember rightly, his finishing lacked composure and he should have had a couple of goals - maybe its a confidence/eager to please kind of thing....and with a run of games and goals?? ??♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Tyler Roberts is a very talented player. He does like an injury though, plus I'm not entirely sure where he fits in our team - possibly out wide? I don't know if he plays upfront. I could be wrong. Dean Sturridge is his agent, incidentally. I wouldn't be surprised to see him leave Leeds, but would be surprised to see him end up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said I'm not entirely comfortable with paying a sizeable fee for a player with a history of injuries... we've done that before and got burned.

He has suffered a series of major injuries and played only 54 times for United, scoring seven goals and supplying seven assists.

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Given our track record with crocked players I'd suggest signing a player with a history of serious injuries is probably a crap idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipley Ram Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I asked my Leeds mat about him and he said. Yes, very, very injury prone. I would be a bit disappointed of he left because we will need a squad and he could be decent coming off the bench. I suppose it may depend who else comes in. Bielsa does like a paper thin squad.

My concern would be that I can't see them doing us any favours and that they wouldn't let us have him if they felt he was a future first-teamer.

I don't think it really matters, business is business. If it's a loan and we're telling them he'll play every week in a team that plays passing football we're probably best suited to develop him, they wont just send him to Warnock or Rowett just to spite themselves. If we're buying it will just be down to a price tag and where the player wants to go. Furthermore it does get you thinking we are a decent proposition for other clubs to loan players to at the moment - we play good football, they will get to work with Philip Cocu/Wayne Rooney. Premier league facilities and when the supporters are eventually allowed big crowds. If you had a youngster that's not quite first team ready we'll be high on the list of clubs, no wonder we got Clarke back this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
