Is Patrick Roberts worth the prospective £15m City want? My brother says if celtic bought Paddy he would die happy man. I don't think we could afford to put him in the team for that? There is a glass ceiling and I think it's way over what we could or would afford. Anything up to 7m is our limit am presuming.

The price being talked about in the summer was only about half of that.

Man City can want what ever they want, when there is no possible trade for Paddy Roberts . If when the market opens and if Manchester City are anxious to buy, the clubs who have registered an interest will be made aware of the price required .
The rest of us can speculate until the cows come home and we will only be given a figure that suits both clubs .

inflated prices, 1 @ 15 mill or 2 or 3 players for that price? my choice: not at that price.

Ed is £15m the price that Man City are looking for it is that a figure plucked by the media? Can’t see how that figure is justified, due to his injuries his stock is lower than last season.

{Ed007's Note - The first I heard of it was reading this thread but if you look back the story originated on that $hitty HTC site or whatever it's called.}

I am sure the prices being banded around last summer was 6-8 million and the fact his contract will be a year shorter you would think that his transfer fee would be lower again.

I don't know how a price can double for a player who hasn't played all season; especially when you compare it to how Dembele seemed to depreciate in value since last season. However, whenever the EPL is concerned it's a farcical market when you look at how much obscene fees have been spent on real average players recently.

Celtic had a bid of 6.5m for Roberts knocked back last Summer.

I think we have to look at what we paid for Sinclair. I think it was around £4.5m, there is quality out there at similar value and don’t think paddy (although I highly rate him) is worth a gamble at £7m+.

Sevco MSM creating the conditions trying to price us out. Paddy 7 million with sell on if we were interested. It boils down to his willingness to leave MC?

Any figure you see, apart from coming from Celtic, is a figment of someone’s imagination. Taximan talk.
