    Man City just bid £130m for another attacker, Mbappe. Even if Roberts does manage to work his way into the squad, he could be replaced at any moment. He's also stopped mentioning going back to city. I reckon he'll be sold but us getting him is a whole different matter.

    Where else would he go though, realistically? I can't see a top 6 premier league team signing him and if he goes to a Stoke/Bournemouth is he gonna be as successful as he could be coming here? I think it's starting to become a real possibility in his mind, which is key.

    130 million for an 18 year old. That's just * ridiculous.

    I'm not convinced by the figure but when stuff like that can even be suggested it makes me happy we're not part of that league. In a way it's everything wrong with the beautiful game.

    For Roberts sake, as much as I want him here, I just really really hope he doesn't end up at a no-mark BPL club that won't see his attacking instincts flourish. He's a tremendous talent and it would be a shame if he was wasted at a Stoke, Newcastle, etc.

    Latest rumour is 12 clubs interested in him.

    Hoffenheim and Schalke "In the lead", * knows where that info has come from, and three EPL sides among the 12.

    Think he'd do well in Germany to be fair.

    What makes these obscene figures all the more ridiculous is that they're often shelled out for 'prospects' and rarely for the finished article.

    For 130 million I'd be wanting someone of the standard of Messi or even Ronaldo and for them to be at that standard when signed.

    Wouldn't surprise me at all if RB Liepzig are looking at him. They splashed a load of cash on Burke, and Paddy is a much better player.

    Has he posted any farewell's on twitter or anything?

    Just doesn't seem like a guy who knows he has played his last game for us.

    He was at Henrik/Lubo game yesterday parading the trophies, strange choice if he wasn't staying. Didn't do the waving goodbye thing
