I really don’t get all the negativity around Robert’s. He really is a top class footballer. He needs to be first choice and playing all of the time to get the best out of him. He has more talent in his little toe than most players can dream of. He struggled a bit last year but he was not first choice, had some injury niggles and playing under several buffoons after the departure of Tony….. he will be good again.

I think he's good at dribbling sometimes, but not much else. All fart and no shite as they say.

Good on his day, but not top class imo.

Roberts is a great player who gets us up the pitch all the time and makes space for others.

Last year was poor by his standards but I expect more this year

Poveda is a downgrade on him imo, and I'm no Roberts fan. I'd prefer Ba to them both.
 
When he gets injured every few games some will be saying how unlucky we are with injuries. We aren’t unlucky we just sign an awful lot of injury prone players because they are cheaper and some clubs keen to get shot. Season starts in a couple of weeks time and all we have brought in so far is free transfers.

If he had an end product, even just now and again he'd walk into a promotion seeking team or even a top flight one. Problem is he needs someone as good as Diallo nearby and finding players that good at this level is canny difficult.

Doesn’t matter if they’re free or not Steve, what matters is whether they improve the squad.

Totally agree mate, but why are Leeds letting him go? I assume at least the club has decided that Bennette and Mundle are a long way of from being under any serious consideration for Championship football this season.

Strength in depth?
What about Bennette, Ba, Mundle, Aouchiche, Watson.....I'd say it's one area where we're fully complemented, unless someone's away.

Jewi isn’t good enough and Aouchiche is a 8 or 10. Watson will need a proper loan for some experience. Competition is good

Bennette looks awful, as does Mundle, Ba needs to improve massively to be classed as good enough but lacks a huge amount of pace, he manages to be slow off the mark as well and Adil is a central attacking midfielder. Just because we have a number of players who can be/are classed as wingers doesn't mean we have strength in depth there.
I've no idea about Watson yet.

Could this lad when fit play the Diallo role linking with Roberts. He isn't obviously as good as Diallo but he looks tricky
