Marseilles or Rangers wow now this is interesting. I personally would prefer Rangers as I believe he would be fast tracked into the starting XI (K Miller must be 38 by now). The sooner the better for me, none of this 'wait until he's ready' nonsense. He's not 15 anymore he's a young man and I think this would be a good move. I now to some it signals the death knell of a promising career to go to Scotland but Robertson, Van Dijk (Wanyama too?) show that it can be a springboard. As an aside I'd start supporting Rangers up there with Roberts and John who I've always been fond of, playing together. I would look out for Rangers results to see how they were performing but would not support the Unionist club. |

If anyone hears of any developments on this story please post asap, this is a nice distraction from the circus. Tyler Roberts links to Rangers and Marseille: The latest on the transfer rumours West Brom transfer news includes the latest on Tyler Roberts' future www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/tyler-roberts-glasgow-rangers-marseille-14157946West Bromwich Albion youngster Tyler Roberts is ‘close’ to agreeing a move to Scottish giants Rangers, according to reports. The 19-year-old striker is out of contract in the summer and will be able to move abroad for a minimal compensation fee - and Marseille have also previously been linked. Roberts has spent the first half of this season on loan at Walsall and has managed five goals for the League One side. Meanwhile, reports have intimated Alan Pardew wants to see more of Roberts, who has impressed at Walsall. Here, we look at the latest with Roberts: Why all the interest? Roberts' potential has been clear at Albion for a couple of years now but his stock has risen elsewhere. In 2017, he managed five goals for Wales under-21s, including scoring his first goal. He also managed nine goals in two loan spells. He spent a period on loan at Shewsbury Town last season, scoring four in 13 games. Now this season he has added a further five playing for Walsall. Why the rumours? Interest has peaked as he is yet to sign a new deal at Albion. That means he could be available for a fairly short price - reportedly around £300,000 - despite appearing to have a bright future. Who has been linked with him? Marseille and Glasgow Rangers are among those linked by their local press but there is understood to be more. Meanwhile, Walsall have been very clear they want him to stay for longer. Their manager John Whitney has said: “I will try to keep Tyler. I know Alan (Pardew) is going to have a look at him but I think for his best interests, he should stay. “I think young players need to play games – under-23 football is not what Tyler needs. It won’t motivate him and it won’t help him to develop. He needs League One football, ‘proper’ football I call it." |

Marseille is pure fantasy, but it would be better for his development; they're a top class club with the best facilities.
Almost all success stories from the SPFL were either Celtic or Dundee United players. Rangers only "success story" in the past 30 years has been Gazza.
In all likelihood, he'll probably join Bournemouth or some shite like that.

I think he's signing for a team outside of England, I think there's a huge amount of complete unshite to these stories. He's just seen Ampadu debut, Woodburn, Brooks has come along and is now doing great in the Championship. He before any of these was supposed to be out next star so maybe he thinks waiting until 19 is long enough it's now time to go somewhere and win things and score goals....Rangers have a huge stadium being 19 a scoring goals there would be an amazing feeling. There's probably a few other teams abroad sniffing around perhaps. If he left the UK he wouldn't be the first British youngster moving overseas lately Sancho,wilcock and Gauld to name a few

For the love of God please sign for Marseille. The Scottish Premier League is a graveyard, and his footballing career is too young to die. Rangers are also a dying team. It's a good league especially for younger players to develop |

Scottish football is a graveyard for established players, but how many Premier League quality players have come out of that league recently? Van Dijk, Wanayama, Ki, Forster, Kayal from Celtic alone. If you're not good enough in Scotland then you're not good enough full stop. He'd never get near Marseille's first team and wouldn't ever get a chance. He'll get regular football at Rangers in the spotlight. If he's good enough he may get a Premier League move soon anyway. There are exceptions to the rule of course, but I'm talking about the bigger picture. When you decide to play in the Scottish divisions, you're accepting that you will scarcely get the chance to play against players of the best quality and you are very unlikely to get better tutoring that you would at a club in many other of Europe's top divisions. Many players' careers suffer from that. This is, of course, unless you do go to Celtic but Celtic aren't in for Tyler Roberts. Marseille would provide Roberts with tutoring of the highest quality which is something Rangers can't afford to provide, and when he does appear for them or any club they decide to loan him to, he'll be playing against far better players. I'd honestly rather see him move to Walsall permanently than Rangers. The quality of football is better. |

It's a good league especially for younger players to develop If Roberts moves to Rangers, it'd be a huge waste of what was a promising career. He'd do well to get ahead of Woodburn and Lawrence in the pecking order in the future. |

There's more of an emphasis on passing the ball and keeping possession in the SPL than the Championship, League 1 etc imo! |

I wonder why W Brom rejected a bid of 4 million? There is no pathway to the first team for him there in my opinion as I don't think Pardew will play him. I would personally prefer a move to Rangers where I think he will start. W Brom may lose out here as he can go on compensation for peanuts and there seems to be a lot of interest. The worst case scenario for him in my opinion would be to sign a new deal with WBA. |

I can't remember a hitc exclusive article that turned out to be true. £4m with a few months left on his contract sounds absurd to me. ..............................

Leeds interested in West Brom striker Tyler Roberts www.skysports.com/football/news/11715/11218534/leeds-interested-in-west-brom-striker-tyler-robertsLeeds United are interested in West Brom striker Tyler Roberts, according to Sky sources. Roberts has returned to West Brom after a loan spell at Walsall and manager Alan Pardew has challenged him to break into the first team. Roberts' West Brom contract expires in the summer. Reports have also linked Rangers and Marseille with a move for the 19-year-old, who has made one Premier League appearance for the Baggies. He spent the first half of last season on loan at Oxford before moving on loan to Shrewsbury in January 2017. The Wales U21 international scored five goals in 19 appearances for Walsall this season and sent out a message on his Twitter page over the weekend, thanking staff and fans for his spell at the club. "Thank you to everybody (fans, players, staff) at Walsall for making me feel so welcome throughout my loan," he tweeted. "I am forever grateful for the trust and confidence you put in me to perform and to learn, we created some great memories together. Good luck for the rest of the season." |

Clubs are only rally interested because he's out of contract.
If he then does well as he might in Scotland they make a tidy profit.
They weren't interested when he was still under contract

IF he’s out of contract in the summer are Rangers not in a position to offer a pre-contract as they are classed as a foreign club?
West Brom would then only be paid a development fee. Same scenario as Joe Ledley when at Cardiff.
