We seem to be a little desperate these days to off-load some 'indifferent' purchases.....trouble is, the world and his wife know it.
It's very dispiriting.
Said it before and I'll say it again. Would Roberts really have done any worse than Nolito?
Of course he would. He is English and therefore by definition not Spanish.
The Nolito episode has been a strange one.
At first he appeared to be a useful addition to the squad and seemed to fit in with the way the team were then playing, in spite of his noticeable lack of pace for an out and out winger.
A little later, some of us on here wondered if he could do a job at centre forward in the injury absence of Aguero but he just seemed to mystifyingly slip out of sight and well below the radar. Most puzzling.
I know it's hindsight but, in retrospect and thinking how it all panned out, I'm with NB in thinking we probably would have been better this last season in giving Roberts a chance in the squad.
Surely he's now got to be a must with us, for the forthcoming campaign ??
