Heskey for Roberts? Dear God No!

Rumours are getting stronger by the day that after missing out on Andy Johnson, Jewell has turned his attentions to £3million rated Emile Heskey.
I'm not going to slate Emile Heskey, I actually think it would be a good deal as Heskey coming off the bench could be very dangerous, especially with the quality of crosses Gary Teale is capable of every now and then. But to swap Heskey for Roberts AND cash is just not worth it and is quite simply a laughable deal.
Roberts was for the majority of last season fantastic and scored more goals than Heskey, although i can't comment on what Heskey brings to a team i know exactly what Roberts does and i can tell you now we don't want to lose him.
If we can get Heskey in just for cash it will be a solid deal, but if bringing Heskey in means we sacrifice Jason Roberts, then i think the plug should be pulled on any potential deal.
