We all know about Mowbray’s admiration for Patrick Roberts, and in his latest edition of Roberts praise he has now said Patrick is Premier League quality.
SUPER TALENTED ALREADY
"I can't help him with his talent. He'll be telling me what his nutmeg tally is for the last three games, I think we were at about ten before the Reading game. I think we got a few more [vs Reading] as well.”
PREM LEVEL PLAYER
"From what I can see, he's starting to live the life of a footballer. Patrick should never have been in League One and with the greatest respect to us, he should probably be in the Premier League. He has to live like it, and the penny has dropped I think. I maximised my career as a player, I haven't drunk alcohol since the age of 18 because I wanted to be the best player I could be. These are the little chats I'm having with Pat - he should be earning hundreds of thousands in the Premier League.”
GET HIM THE BALL
"That's not a criticism of him - I love him to bits, he's an amazing footballer, and I want to achieve something where he's in that Premier League with us. I just want him to give himself the best chance of being the best player he can possibly be - I think the penny has dropped. It's exciting for our fans to watch. I'm saying all the time, give him the ball and let him dance, pick passes, score goals."
