    Every so often this guys name pops back up......forget about him he wasnt interested in hanging around so good luck to him.
    Never want to see him back,he done nothing since he left us so we can only presume hes not that special.

    Aye but those players you mention didn’t play diddy teams in qualifiers - which count as champions league goals.
    Larsson was playing against Barca and Juve, McDonald against AC Milan and Man Utd not * Red Imps of Malta.

    Roberts' goals came in the group stages.

    Against Man City and Anderlecht.

    That’s Champions League proper mate, away to Anderlecht in a 3-0 win and away to Manchester City in a 1-1 draw.

    Cool. Still don’t change the fact he’s not very good anymore.
    We should be aiming for better than a guy who couldn’t get a game for Middlesboro, Norwich and now Derby County. Clubs who are pish and should be 3 tiers below us if we were run properly.

    Why this thread gets bumped every window I have no idea. We should be looking for younger, better players with ankles that aren’t made of glass.

    I think a good manager could bring out the best in him again.

    This season when we've played the diamond or the more conventional 4231, Christie has played on the right for almost the entire season in Forrest's absence. And he's been awful. Would much rather have had Roberts.

    If he's free this summer I'd like us to take a chance. Of course, if there is a younger better version I'd prefer that but we'll have to see...

    Don’t get me wrong I’d rather have Paddy than Christie as he has been brutal for about 18 months.
    It would be nice if Paddy could come back here and tear it up but I think he may be past that now. He’s lost far too much development wasting away at Derby, Boro and Norwich.
    Besides Eddie Howe might not fancy him :fear:

    He's at a real danger of fading into obscurity forever. Bizarre how his career is panning out.

    He's clearly got a mentality issue imo. There's no reason why at this age he isn't ripping it up in the championship at least. I'm guessing he's not the model professional or something. This guy's technique and attacking IQ is second to none, but he lacks pace, strength and work rate (like Rogic), and if you aren't relentlessly trying to improve and better yourself off the field you won't get to the top these days.

    Still, would probably have him back under Howe to see what he could do. But he is already looking washed at 24

    It wasn't that good a goal keeper was miles off his line for start
