Ed just seen a couple of headline saying we are in advanced stages of a permanent move for Roberts can you add anything mate always appreciated.

{Ed007's Note - They need to finalise the price.}

So its looking likely to happen Ed? Would be a superb deal.

{Ed007's Note - I've said all along that I expected Roberts to be playing for us next season and I still do.}

That would be fantastic. I hope we don't quibble over the price too much, as we have done before and lost out on someone, especially with the potential windfall from VVD.

{Ed007's Note - If I was to take a guess I don't think it's the fee and more likely to be add ons or sell on clauses or even a buy back option.

But what about Johnny Hayes? Surely paddy won't be happy to play 2nd fiddle to Johnny Hayes.

That's great news, Roberts must be keen to come if the talks are at an advanced stage.
He is a cracking player, and I am amazed that a lot of EPL clubs haven't shown much interest in him.
I read in the Daily Mirror that Celtic have offered £5m, whereas Man City want £10m for him, I obviously want Celtic to get the best deal possible, but when you look at the ridiculous fees clubs in England pay for players, even £10m doesn't sound too excessive for a player of Roberts ability.

Paddy Rodgers is a better fit at Celtic than most EPL teams . Most clubs outside top 6 would be reluctant to sign a rather small ball dribbler, they would over look his shooting and assisting ability and feel that he is a bit of a luxury player .
Top 5/ 6 might think he hasn't the blistering pace to set himself aside from other good wing typec players .
Unlike any other team our Manager and his coaches, his team mates and our supporters know better than any other club what he can do and what B R wants to improve on . He is happy here and he has Kieran Tierney.
We have more to offer him he has more to offer us.
