Patrick Roberts to Birmingham compendium

[JackL]

Genuinely gutted he's going but its a sign of the way the club is going. Glad he managed to find a home for a few years and hopefully he'll always be welcomed back by the majority

 

[BingoBango]

Roberts + Amad + Clarke under Mowbray was up there with the most entertaining football I've ever seen the lads play

 

[Julio Mackemo]

Goodbye and thanks for everything.

 

[Chop Sauce]

The stats don't lie

Give your head a wobble.

 

[Daniels]

He gone then?

Birmingham on loan apparently, must mean we have a winger coming in.

 

[suffolkmackem23]

Nah they don't. Our most creative player last season.

Averages 4.5 assists a season in league 1 and championship in his peak years

I get he gave us two moments of brilliance at key moments, but his general play for 4 years has been below par

 

[NLawton]

Well 3 of them were strikers, arguably 4...... but sound

Who else than Anichebe?

Primarily left winger for us
Versatile player but primarily winger for us
Definitely wrong about Anichebe, thought he played on the left for us nevermind.
Primarily right winger
So shit I don't actually remember him playing but never played up front.

 

[CissesUnderpants9]

Good Luck in the future, Patrick.

 

[suffolkmackem23]

Give your head a wobble.

Same back to you

You clearly dont understand that the point of a forward player in a game of football is to contribute to the creation of goals

 

[Daffy]

Imagine a premier league club coming in for a winger who averages 2.6goals a season in the 2nd and 3rd tier

They could sign him for his assists which was the highest last season for us

You clearly don't understand football if you believe that the creation of a goal is as simple as the final pass mate.

Give up whilst you are just laughabke, don't carry on until you are ridiculed for lunacy

O'brien signed as a striker or played no.10
Watmore played up front more than on the wing
Lua lua played about 3 games
Anichebe was 100% a striker who was probably played out of position a couple of times

 

[patrickrobertslover]

Maybe it has an obligation?

We have the possibility to extend for a year, so if no obligation we likely see something similar to what Bournemouth did with Mepham this year

Well thank god it isnt down to just that, cause Roberts is absolutely awful at those

 

[GreenbackMackem]

He averages 1 goal OR assist in every 9 games!

And you're talking about a player who has played consistently in arguably sunderlands worst few years in the football league.

Most seasons hes played for us we have been pushing for promotion with him as part of a front 3.

9 goals in 4 seasons is shocking.

Id love to see his stats for possession lost, hes shocking!

Stats, stats and more stats - an easy 'win' when wanting to boost/batter a player.

Sometimes people just need to watch the game and see how a player does or doesn't influence a moment, game or season.

Roberts has done just about as much as anyone, in his time at Sunderland, to influence moments, games and, ultimately, seasons. A tremendous pro and will be well remembered by those who just like to watch football than get bogged down with stat overkill.

He was that bad that he had the most in a team that achieved promotion last season.

Were you full of class A's at Wembley or did you just decide to ignore the perfect, defensive splitting pass he played to Mayenda?

 

[Daffy]

One of the worst wingers in our history!

Without Amad next to him finishing off his moves for him hes shocking

Loses possession more than any player ive ever seen

This has to be a mag or a huge wum
end

 

[fireballs]

Agreed. We only have Talbi for the right hand side.

Not only that but isn't he right footed. I know RLB doesn't seem afraid of playing wingers on their strong foot sides but both him and Adingra appear that way.
Possibly a late move for a left footed wide forward?

Good luck to Roberts. Cracking footballer, no harm in falling just short of being a regular premier league player and fair play for choosing to move for regular game time.
