In Todays people it says That barnsley are closing in on signing him

Hmmm wouldnt be suprised if Sturrock cashed in on him tbh but couldnt see roberts moving up north

personally i hope he doesnt leave

If there's cash involved - cheerio.

Sorry but we need the money more than an aging player...

selling your top scorer, well that one worked well last year didnt it  :roll:

Spot on dv

Just have a feeling sturrock would take the cash.

I feel it would be promotion suicide.....

Roberts out and Blair Sturrock in.....no thanks.

End of the day Roberts is our top scorer

When is his contract up?

If it's the summer and a team in a higher league are interested in him, he'll go for nothing then, won't he?

I think its the end of the year, but the guy owes us big time...

Many teams would have booted him out last season, I hope he remembers this....

True, but think of O'Hanlon etc.

Players see the opportunity and the money and vroom they're off.

yes, but O'Hanlon was shit and owed us nothing.

Plus he wouldnt even get in the team this year

We didnt keep paying his wages while he was in rehab and unfit for practically a whole season....

We can a striker in though, good ridance never liked the guy anyway.

  I suspect if he goes it will be because Luggy is moving him on, rather than Roberts wanting out.....if we're going to play one up front, then  Roberts is a wide man again, but he doesn't do the defensive stuff.....so Luggy would rather have the Cock or Ricky there.

If he goes he goes. Umpteen seasons of what ifs with roberts. I admire him for admitting he had a drink problem and going to rehab(if all members on here admitted that there wont be many posts as we will all be in rehab). Let him go more money then is released i.e wages and sell on fees etc. The club  can get some one that can bang in more goals in 1 season than roberts has done in his career here.

Roberts will sign a new contract soon.... TRUST ME!  Luggy said he was going to start talking contracts soon... so with that in mind should Roberts not be offered a contract its because he has something else in mind, Cant see him going to Barnsley,no where near championship standard IMO, saying that, Barnsley will be back in League 1 next year so...

If it was in the NOTW/People it's bound to be true... :-))(

This seems news to most Barnsley fans as well.

They can have him if he continues in yesterdays manner, he won't last 5 minutes at that level.

Strange - In the game I watched, Roberts did rather well :shock:

Depends, did you see the Walsall game last week?

If it makes sense, he was alright yesterday I suppose but after how well he played the previous week I expect people were expecting better

Didn't go to Walsall, so can only go on the brief highlights I saw.

However, WTF did Luggy play Roberts on the left and Brown on the right? It just didn't look right. I'm sure we would have been much more effective if they had swapped sides.

Whoops! I've just noticed an entire thread dedicated to this strange phenomenon.

The question remains though........WHY???

In teh NOTW the weekend the reckoned that we was looking to sign a Lincoln defender who is a Wales U-21 for £600,000 plus add on's...I had to laugh when I read that

I think it may be up front that Luggy looks at...but maybe that us where the CVA money is going, the baord can'y afford to pay it as they are signing a player with it instead  :o  :D

I would be disappointed if Roberts left after all the club has done for him.

yes. he should stay here till his dying days

Are you suggesting that we kill Roberts mr dave?

:shhh  shhhhhhhh.

The Barnsley interest is mentioned in the BBC News & Gossip section from the Star.

I'd be very suprised if it...

1) was true

2) actually happened.

Fuck ! How do we want to achieve promotion if we sell one of our "star" ? !

He'd be one more to add to the "see you next season list" - He won't go.

To be honest Barket, he is a very frustrating player. He has lots of skill and pace, but sometimes plays like he dosnt really give a shit.  If he could consistantly play to somewhere near his potential then he would be playing in the championship not league 2

If we can get the £30k back we paid Brizzle then cheerio.

Plenty more players far more suited to the Sturrock style of play around.

He's far too inconsistant and lazy I think. Yes hes a quality player in this league when he's on form but how many times per season is that? Not many at all

but...for when I am here , he scores goals in almost every game.... :? .

But before you started posting... He didn't score much at all.

Coincidence?

 :mrgreen:

 Its entirely possible that this is a coincidence Bartek....

7 in 7 games you really cant argue with that at the moment tbh

3 goals were from penalties however.....

and??? you can miss penalties still :?

Tis much easier to score from penalties then open play however

Discount the penalties and it's still impressive form. Very impressive.

:nod:
