Wolfie20 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 37 minutes ago, Macintosh said: I remember back in 2014 after the World Cup, a national newspaper ran a competition to name the team for Russia 2018, with journalists chipping in. Most had young players like Hart, Kane, Sterling, Wilshere, Stones, Barkley, Welbeck and Shaw in their side. I had Fulham's Patrick Roberts in the left-back position, so have always followed him closely, thinking he'd become a star player one day. Did you have Dele Alli in goal?

ColonelBlimp Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 1 hour ago, Gee SCREAMER !! said: We did - till we reached an agreement with this loan. ?. Maybe we're due some add on for Delap if he's hit a trigger. Maybe were giving them 4 x 15 year olds in exchange like some weird baby farm. May have more legs than the other stuff on here today if they can recall him. Our players have more legs? No wonder they're in demand. I keep telling my missus that my nickname at school was Tripod, must have shrunk in the wash. Gee SCREAMER !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1388 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 23 years old so suggest's he isn't going to be close to the City team ever, 1 year left on his deal so could be another one who we have eyes on to maybe make permanent in the summer.

Jourdan Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Not sure about this one. There’s obvious quality and potential there but he’s not really kicked on since impressing on loan at Celtic, has he? I would rather stick with Lawrence and Jozwiak, or try and get Ince as was rumoured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macintosh Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 44 minutes ago, Chris_Martin said: Why? Because he looked an outstanding young player, playing as an attacking left back and stood out above any around at that time, including Ben Chilwell. The left backs then were Leighton Baines and Luke Shaw. After his move to Manchester City he has always played as a winger, mainly on the right, but one I hoped one day he could end up here. Stagnated at Middlesborough under Warnock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inter politics Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 Posted at 16:2616:26 Derby to clinch City's Roberts Simon Stone BBC Sport reporter Derby are hoping to clinch a deal for Manchester City striker Patrick Roberts before this evening’s deadline. Wayne Rooney has been busy trying to bolster his squad today after the frustrations over the time taken for the club’s proposed takeover to go through. Roberts signed a two-and-a-half year extension to his City contract in 2019, that is not due to run out until next year. That will take his stay at the Etihad Stadium to seven years – but he has only played for them three times. He has so far had seven different loan deals with four clubs and has been with Middlesbrough since January 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want rid of him - not warnock’s type of player biggish wages - they were hoping to sell assombalonga to Bristol for £2 million and get his huge wages off the wage bill but looks unlikely because he won’t reduce his wages so Roberts needs to move off the wage bill Nuwtfly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Ah, I see now that we were never interested in Mendez-Laing, this was all just a ploy to get Roberts! Derby conjuring up transfer magic as per. Rooney and Mel playing 4D chess while Steve Gibson chokes on that little race car you use in monopoly ?
