Re: Gary Roberts

Sounds like a permanent deal come January as it makes no sense for Accy to loan out one of their best players.
 
Re: Gary Roberts

could well have been a good signing for North End, seen him a few times and has more ability and scoring nous than lewis neil and a good left sided player, would have surely preferred us to Ipswich

Yes but you can pay money for loan signings. So say they paid £250k to keep him till January to see how he does, not a bad deal for Accy.

But if they suddenly now plummit and get relegated that money is pretty crap compared to football league football.

I had heard that Roberts had fallen out with e fans due to not signing a new contract and had put in a tansfer request a few weeks ago. I dont think simmo could have warranted bringing him in at the mo when we have so many players coming back and teh number of the current squad.

I would have the lad though maybe we could get him january if he chooses us over going all teh way dwn to ipswich. He is from liverpool/everton area i think. Used to be on evertons books.
 
Re: Gary Roberts

but we dont really need a left winger or a striker.

well i know simmo is on the hunt for a hold up man but i don't quite think gary roberts fits the bill.

doubt he'll start tonight. especially if he's only signed today. may be on the bench though

This player is a former Crewe trainee, and so far he's only played for Crewe and Stanley:

Aren't you confusing this player with Gareth Roberts, who was a member of Liverpool's famous FA Youth Cup winning team in 1996. 😕 Roberts spent 7 years in Tranmere, but is now in Doncaster, see

Oh - I forgot that this Gary Roberts has also played in Welsh clubs. I should have remembered that.

Maybe he's a Toffees fan? 😕
 
Re: Gary Roberts

This is the guy who i thought would be a good signing for us and we could have bought him for less than £100,000 about a year ago.He reminds me a bit of Ryan Giggs but seems more of a natural goalscorer.I hope he doesn't play against us tonight ! 😱
 
Re: Gary Roberts

YEP he sure is he goes straight into the squad FFS!! how the hell does a local lad like himself get to be signed by ipswich we should have gone in for him he's a class player looks the part! but nevermind the saint will sort him out!!
