taxman   12 #4 Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) A player is only as good as the players he plays against. I could look like Messi playing against some of those defenders....and believe me, I don't look like Messi.  Nugent, Vardy, Phillips, Crouch (possibly) all players who look good playing for not top teams. Picked for England....and apart from Crouch, a meagre goal scoring record.  There is a reason Phillips never played for a big club, they just didn't rate him....and big clubs tend to have more of an eye on the ball than International teams scrambling about desperately trying to find someone who is fit for an away fixture in Albania.  If Roberts is any good, he'll be playing for a top European Club side...if he isn't, he won't be.

MAC33   10 #5 Posted March 22, 2017 With that attitude only players from the very top teams will get picked.  He is contracted anyway to Man.City who bought him from Fulham for 11 million.  He did score against Man.City in the CL and also had a good game.  It was in the CL games especially that Roberts really impressed me  Technique wise - he is so far ahead of any other English player it's not funny.  Lallana is probably the next best - but miles back!  He could make a good out and out winger or could play as an attacking midfielder.  Judging by what I've seen of England in the past few years - they are crying out for a player with World Class ball control and dribbling skills.

Robbie Loving   10 #6 Posted March 22, 2017 It's hard to judge a player who plays in Scotland, as the standard is so poor. So for that reason, I'd leave him until he returns to England and proves his worth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

MAC33 Â Â 10 #9 Posted May 19, 2017 You don't score goals like these no matter how bad the league is without being a international class player. Â He style is very similar to Messi. Â Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

LeMaquis   10 #11 Posted June 12, 2017 Roberts didn't even get voted Celtic's player of the season. That went to Scott Sinclair who not many are calling to get into the England squad;  http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/scott-sinclair-wins-celtic-player-10331839 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
