Reports that Celtic have secured an 18 month loan deal for Roberts and the deal will be concluded at the weekend when player comes up for the Ross County match.

Cannot confirm the validity of the story I'm afraid.

Honestly don't know why fans on here are unhappy about this move if it was even just to end of season i would be thrilled its not often one of englands most promising talents come up to scotland the boy was bought for 11 million i can't wait to see him in the hoops! Even if he makes half the impact denayer made its well worth it.

Rabmac I heard that rumour and if it is true I think it would be a very good move for Celtic . If we signed him on 3/ 4 contract we could have lost him after 18 months anyway . I suppose we would have made £4/ 5m but then again if we gave £4/ 5 m for him he could flop and we would struggle to get back the money we pay for him.

Steph. we have an 18 year old of our own gaining great reviews in the same position that's why I do t see the point of this. why hinder/ put obstacles in the way of the prospects we actually own.

Would have much preferred to have given Aiden Nesbitt a run in the first team than help develop anther teams player.

I was worried at first by all the loan moves and the link with Man City but I think it's a very good deal and I hope this continue's
There is no way we can afford to spend £5m or £6m on a player and to get one that is valued at £12m for 18mths is great.

If he turns out to be as good as Denayer and Guidetti then we have no worries.

The only thing I might be a bit concerned about is that I read that part of the agreement is that he has to play. What happens if he has a stinker of a few months.

DOn't know the lad, but the 18 month option for 12M winger is about as good a signing as we might have hoped for, surely?

Only real concern is can ronny put out a side that predominantly features a winger. (an/ several wide midfielders ain't really the same thing) . Got a good feeling about this lad tho. We haven't had a winger since McGeady and have relied on left backs and the like since Bobby Peta. Celtic needs a winger.

He looks a player but agree with Ice Man, Nesbitt should be getting his chance and training with the first team and Commons while he's still at the club. There's only so much a player can develop playing against kids.

It could be worse i suppose while we are bringing in £12m wingers there's a new club across the city who have brought in a young superstar worth at least 200k hahaha how times have changed and the best thing is we are getting these players fairly not by means of cheating ☺.
