I really hope that there's no truth in the following and it's just a piece of gossip to fill column inches. The Sun reports today:
Swansea are struggling to keep Welsh right back Connor Roberts. Roberts, 23, is out of contract in the summer, with no signs that he will extend it. So the Welsh club may sell in January.
If there's any truth in this, are the owners already starting to cash in on our young assets? Potter will be fucking livid if this proves to be the case not to mention we supporters. On the other hand, perhaps the lad might have been quietly tapped up by one of the 'big' clubs who fancy his potential. It's easy for a youngster's head to be turned by the prospect of instant fame and riches.
Whatever the truth of the situation Roberts, imo, would be better served by biding his time and furthering his career and learning process under one of the best managers around at this level. He's young enough to move on in a couple of years when he'd be a much more rounded footballer. I'm hoping that this is just idle gossip because if he does go, the owners' intentions for our club will be crystal clear. If they're not clear enough already.........
