No thanks, football is dominated enough by the moneyed clubs as it is.

Personally preferred the days when there weren’t any windows and you could just buy when you wanted to. Nothing better than taking a star player off a rival six weeks before the season end.

Was Roberts any good at them?

 I can genuinely only remember his Van Vossen moment.

He was supposed to sign permanently for THEM a couple of years ago (Guardiola didn’t want him & the clubs had agreed a fee) but Roberts would only agree to a loan because he’d have to a big wage cut. So he ended going elsewhere & has done little of note since.

Now not sure he’s what he was when playing for the yahoos. I thought he was an excellent player at the time.

Why do Gent seem to be selling so many players? 

Ass per seat ratio?

His first season was good: 9 goals and 14 assists in 32 League games. 

 

Don't know what happened after. 

Was/is he not valued at £15m when on loan to Separate Entity FC?.

This will be more made up shite btw!

The Roberts "rumour" has seemingly been quashed by the Scottish Sun ... though I assume it was made up rubbish anyway.

Peter Lawwell's son, Mark had an administrative/coaching position at Manchester City. I do not know if he remains at the Etihad?

 

Mark Lawwell was responsible for talent spotting for ra Sellik as part of Man City's player development. The Belgian internationalist, Jason Denayer, the Swedish cap, John Guidetti, and Samaras were among half-a-dozen loanees/signings. Roberts was hyped as the jewel in the crown, quickly followed by Arzani. Mark, like his sister, Nicola is a beneficiary of the Lawwell surname, or maybe Peter's demands. Nicola began as a Solicitor trainee at Harper McLeod.

 

I suspect the £15 million valuation emanated from Mark Lawwell?

Seen Guus Til's name linked with us only to see he decided to move to Freiberg on loan, what a waste, he would have been some player to get through the door
