Well he is now.
Dyche has done very well there and clearly thinks Roberts can improve them.
I think for Burnley he is perfect.

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 ?

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 .
created the second most chances in the league (a long way) after Emi Buendia last season.
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.
He will be a great signing for Burnley and at £2.5m he must be an absolute bargain. Surely Swansea could have got double that because that is what he must be worth.
£2.5million is an absolute bargain isn’t it?
Dyche doesn’t spend much money and uses it wisely, that’s how they’re still a premier league team after this long.
Logic indicates that the question "Is X a Premier League player" is an easy one.
If they are on the books of a Prem League club and eligible to play in the Prem League for that club, then yes they are a Prem League player.
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.
Can’t see someone like Dyche tolerating any silly antics from anyone in his team. You’d probably get pinned up against the dressing room wall, if you tried it on!!
More than good enough to fit in at Burnley. If he can work on the times that his 'bit of edge' tips over into silly fouls then this will be great for Wales.
