Judging by the way Sean Dyche has kept his club in the Premier League, and improving their players ability , along the way, will Connor Roberts turn out to be a good buy, and benefit Wales at the same time ?

Well he is now.
Dyche has done very well there and clearly thinks Roberts can improve them.
I think for Burnley he is perfect.
For one season - yes.
He works very hard and is very fit, has a bit of pace as well. That's enough for Dyche and Burnley as a club. I'm not sure how Burnley set up, but Roberts is good enough to stop most wide players making an impact outside of the top ten in the premier league, and that's enough for Burnley. Whether or not he'll be in it to create as opposed to just stopping is another thing. Roberts has got an engine on him .

of course that is heavily influenced by how each individual team is set up to progress the ball, and Swansea must have used Roberts extensively for that, but. it's still impressive
Agree with you and Tuerto and interesting to read Ryk's stats too. I'd have loved Roberts at Cardiff. He does work really hard and he's had some really good games for Wales as well as Swansea, both in defence and attack. Gets high up the park and creates chances and when I've seen him has a good burst of speed. Burnely have made a good signing IMO.Quote:

Good lad.Quote:

Dyche doesn’t spend much money and uses it wisely, that’s how they’re still a premier league team after this long.
The amount of players they have sold at a massive profit is nobodies business. They even got 12 million for that duff Mawson. They must've ****ed up with wages etc on their most expensive signings, plus no parachute payments.Quote:

If the question is intended to instead question if the player is of Premier League quality, then it's impossible to give a definitive answer. There's no objective "Premier League" standard, opinions of players abilities are subjective and players of all quality levels have played in the Prem League, including someone purporting to be the cousin of George Weah.
And Harry Arter.Quote:

Does he do all of that when he’s playing for Wales as well?Quote:

I’ve always thought he was a decent playerQuote:

Seems a good gamble for 2.5m. Don't rate him at right back but he's a good wingback. My housemates a jack so I watched quite a bit of them on the box last year. He was fantastic in a lot of games . Hopefully he'll turn into a star at Premier league and International level. Watching him put in great performances for wales will be even better knowing that the jacks have been let him go cheap !!
Never really rated him, didn't think a Burnley type player but at 2.5m it's not a huge gamble.
He always plays well for wales. We were a worse team when he got injured at the Euros.
The answer is "yes".
Not long ago some of the jack fans were thinking if they were to sell they were going to get five times that:hehe:Quote:
