PATRICK ROBERTS is a long time removed from his Celtic spell now but he’s still not found a proper home.
The Englishman signed a new deal with City a couple of seasons back when he had not been given any inclination there was a first team chance coming. The wee man hasn’t gambled on himself and has been happy to be loaned out here and there by City.
The winger started the season at Middlesbrough but ended it at Derby, helping them just escape relegation.
It was Paddy who got on the score sheet alongside former Ibrox striker Martyn Waghorn to confirm their Championship status for next season in a thrilling 3-3 draw which seen Sheffield Wednesday go down.
While it will have been good for Patrick to be part of a side who staved off relegation – his career is now at a crossroads. The 24-year-old has one more year left on his current City deal and it’s time to move on from the Etihad club and find a permanent base.
I doubt that will be Celtic but it would be great to see Roberts settle down and show what he can do.
Good for him and all but why are we so obsessed with what this guy does? Regardless of his contribution to our last 9IAR he’s never been our player. Maybe it’s just me but I never thought he lived up to the hype he got when he was at CP. Decent player, sure, but why are so many of our fans still in love with the guy? He’s moved on, so should we.
I don’t see anyone feverishly keeping up to date with the exploits of Moritz Bauer FFS!
