Speculation - Mark Roberts

by moo » 10 Jun 2011 14:40

We have watched him a couple of times, including at Old Trafford for the playoff final.

Could be worth a punt, but no spring chicken either.

Anyone got more info ?

All I know is he is Stevenage captain. He's not the Ayr Utd one that google brings up.

I'll try find out more.

Not sure why we would want a 27-year old former non-league defender.

McDermott must have saw something special in him during the FA cup. Could be worth a punt. Got a 7.9 rating for his performance against Newcastle so... He must be good right?

Not sure why we would want two unknowns from an Irish League Club like Cork City, or a failed winger from Brentford reserves.

That's why BMcD is a scouting genius and I'm not!

Trouble is he isn't the one doing the scouting anymore.

This was very close to happening until we stalled and he ended up signing the new contract. He's bagged a few goals from defence this season too and been solid by all accounts.

The fact you linked him with us last year, and 7 months later they beat us?

Well seeing as we have a scout at Stevenage v Spurs right now on ITV. Maybe we are once again looking at Roberts, or perhaps some Spurs player on loan which would be a lot more exciting.

defoe on loan would be nice. he needs to play more if he wants to go to the euro's, and now spurs are a striker up with saha coming in, meaning defoe's chances of first team football are even less likely? - well a man dream can't he?

i hope we're not looking at roberts. he's 29. i just don't see the point.

How about Danny Rose? We could do with a future left back.
