Ex-Celtic star Patrick Roberts should be on 'hundreds of thousands' and is better than Sunderland

Patrick Roberts should be earing hundreds of thousands per WEEK and playing in the English Premier League.

That's the verdict of Sunderland boss Tony Mowbray, who has the former Celtic loanee at his disposal at the Stadium of Light, as he plots to take the Black Cats back to the riches of England's top flight. The club had been stuck in League One for a period but landed a spot in the second tier last season after winning the play-offs and are firmly in the mix to finish in the top six this season and contest for a chance at the 'richest game in world football'.

Roberts has had a handful of loans throughout his career including a successful stint at the Hoops. Some have not been as successful but he seems to finally be finding his feet. He netted the winner with a stunning solo goal last time out against Reading and has become a key player alongside former Rangers loan attacker Amad Diallo.
