    Folk are forgetting he's only 19. £12 million may well look like an absolute snip for City in, say 5 years. Guy oozes class, step above anybody else in this league with the ball at his feet.

    H will destroy the Huns on hampdens big pitch. He is one guy that I love seeing on the ball:50:! Number 7 for him next year. A genuine contender for a modern day Jimmy Johnstone !

    The lad is useful and could potentially do major damage if he starts against sevco. He is a young player though and has no real experience of big games so would be a risk. I would probably start him and Commons but gun to the head if it has to be one or the other i'd have Commons every day of the week.

    Commons is finished if you ask me, his sparks are few and far between now, Roberts is something special, ghosts past players and his vision is sublime, doesnt matter that he is not our player as we would sell him anyway...

    We should push the boat out for Roberts. Sadly we are going to need a bigger boat than we would ever hope to have regarding that.

    No chance can commons start next week. Roberts is our best player, so you play your best player!

    We play in Scotland ya know. As for the dinosaur comparison I am surprised it has not been leveled at me before. Sometimes new thinking is not always the best and old traditional thinking is correct such as experienced proven players are the ones you trust in games like this. There is some things in this game that are time tested and work. You dont have to reinvent the wheel because it is hip and modern or whatever

    the so called 'experienced' players in that team haven't been at the races this season, i think thats a fair view. You can't drop the best player in our squad (currently) to play someone who is a yard off from last season.

    I do believe if Roberts plays next week he will tear them a new one. The guys pace with the ball is incredible. I mentioned in the match thread he plays at a very high tempo, faster than the rest of the team. If Deila drops him next week that proves how clueless he can be!

    As someone said, the only worry is that mob will kick lumps out of the boy.
    Ref needs to be strong,but is this too much to hope for?

    They will target him Wallace will try and do him in the first 10 minutes. Played great today would love it if he tears them a new one on Sunday.

    Think he is smart enough and quick enough to overcome their tactics.
    We need to back him up with brown to an extent just to make sure they dont target him too much. But by * he should be one of the first names on the team sheet.

    Toughen him up a little and he will be amazing. He has everything there to become a great player.

    As for the city comparisons, got to be David silva over sterling surely? He plays with a lot more technique and skill. Rather than the directness and pace of sterling. Certainly some aspects of both, but think he has a bit more flair, creativity etc like silva.

    He's a superb player. I hope James Forrest is watching him. This is how you play when playing wide

    He strikes me as a big game player too for some reason, kind of guy who will always want the ball no matter the occasion.

    Hope he doesn't let me down.
