Foxstone Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11700/7501438/Championship-duo-eye-Robbo THoughts on Clogger Robinson? Certainly a wise old head and tough as nails, but will he add value to us? Personally I have my doubts
Saints67 Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 I thought he was past it many years ago. Hopefully it won't be us he's coming to.
Saint Garrett Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 Would be odd if we signed him...don't we have enough LB's ?
Appy Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 Was hoping it was either the Millwall captain or the goalkeeper. Not this dirty *****.

Certainly a wise old head and tough as nails, but will he add value to us? Personally I have my doubts He was shat when he was at Watford in 2003, never mind now.
Kelly Smunt Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 I think he's one of the worst players to have played in the Premier League.
peacey Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 Ryan Dickson, Dan Harding, Danny Fox- We loan out Dickson who is better than harding imho, sell joseph Mills who is now a key player in Readings team and then go for Paul Robinson??? WTF!
peacey Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 Sorry but Nigel has made and is making big mistakes here
Window Cleaner Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 Sorry but Nigel has made and is making big mistakes here How so? Are you saying that this is actually likely to happen?
Nexstar Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 Sorry but Nigel has made and is making big mistakes here I forgot we signed every player we're linked with.
del boy Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 Sorry but Nigel has made and is making big mistakes here agreed - how could he let Sky Sports report something like that - pah
Noodles34 Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 i think he's one of the worst players to have played in the premier league. what, worse than titus bramble (at football that is, not sexual harrassment)
Appy Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 Sorry but Nigel has made and is making big mistakes here What an idiotic comment.
The9 Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 Peacey is a mental, excellent responses, especially the one about Fish being any good and Dickson being better than Harding or Fox...

manji Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 Sorry but Nigel has made and is making big mistakes here You dribbling eye swivelling loon.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 Paul Robinson, one of only 2 players still playing to have scored a goal for us in an FA Cup semi final. For that, I will always be grateful! Do I want him at SMS now? No. We're overloaded with left backs as it is & not convinced Robinson would be any better.
Wade Garrett Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 I think he's one of the worst players to have played in the Premier League. Agreed. Even Benali was better than him.
Saint Garrett Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 I don't see why people think Fish is so awful. I always thought he did a decent job at LB under portvliet in this division and wouldn't have looked out of place in L1 last year. About 5 years ago he got promoted from L1 with S****horpe under Adkins. Got a good delivery and clearly other people rate him as he's played for both Donny + Reading consistently at this level.

Reading have replaced him with a 38 year old who can't run and their results have improved.
Window Cleaner Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 Reading have replaced him with a 38 year old who can't run and their results have improved. Perhaps positionally more adept, mind you having seen Martin charging about like a blue arsed fly in the left back position,waving goodbye to Millwall players with his legs on Tuesday it might not be such a bad solution.
Katalinic Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 Not necessarily Paul Robinson but I have thought for a while now we could do with a couple of players who can occasionally mix it up a bit - we seem too "nice" at times and in certain games you have to fight fire with fire when attractive passing football isn't working. As a team we seem back off too much, especially in the full back positions and seem to lose a disproportionate amount of 50/50 tackles in midfield. Chappers coming back will of course help.

Harte is a bit of an exception to be fair, he's protected by McAnuff who works hard, and he still has excellent set-piece delivery. Actually now I think about it, he's like a much less agile - but equally likely to run forward - version of Danny Fox. I don't think Fish is a bad player, he's probably a reasonable lower-half Championship full back in a side with the experience he lacks. I just think a lot of his energy is misplaced and he always does exactly the same thing with the ball, which is attempt to enthusiastically whip it towards the target, which some of the time results in spectacular miscues, and isn't always what you want when the team is under pressure at full back. Fox may not always pass the simple safe ball, but he CAN and usually knows when to.
Chez Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 Robinson is a thug. Miles out of his depth in the Premiership. Would do fine at this level.
LatvianTolix Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 I would rather support loan deal of Chris Samba from Blackburn who is available. Would take him on loan till the end of the season and then sign him during that stay!!!
Window Cleaner Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 I would rather support loan deal of Chris Samba from Blackburn who is available. Would take him on loan till the end of the season and then sign him during that stay!!! Why on earth would Blackburn loan Samba to us when they've already turned down offers for a permanent move. You have to be realistic I'm afraid.
Appy Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 I would rather support loan deal of Chris Samba from Blackburn who is available. Would take him on loan till the end of the season and then sign him during that stay!!! Christ, really?
Hatch Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 they will be dancing on the streets of Bolton.
kpturner Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 I would rather support loan deal of Chris Samba from Blackburn who is available. Would take him on loan till the end of the season and then sign him during that stay!!!Great idea! I expect we could also borrow Alex from Chelsea and sign him while they are not looking.
Window Cleaner Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 Great idea! I expect we could also borrow Alex from Chelsea and sign him while they are not looking.* Alex is at PSG, probably whilst Chelsea weren't looking.Only 4 million £, but these lads will only sign for big name clubs anyway.
Give it to Ron Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 One things for sure...with him at left back that millwall winger wouldnt have walked through our defence as easily as he did for their second goal the other night - lightweight namby pamby defence we have.

Wouldn't have got past Jos and Fox would probably have been where he should have anyway. We were 2-1,can't quite understand what TF we thought we were doing.
kpturner Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 * Alex is at PSG, probably whilst Chelsea weren't looking.Only 4 million £, but these lads will only sign for big name clubs anyway.Oh dear - you thought I was being serious
Window Cleaner Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 Oh dear - you thought I was being serious Can't quite see what your drift was then,why speak of Chelsea when a player is at PSG?? Jeez I must be thick.
kpturner Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 Can't quite see what your drift was then,why speak of Chelsea when a player is at PSG?? Jeez I must be thick.Indeed
Toomer Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 IMO we are on a par with Bolton, if he can't get a start in their side what chance has he got down at SMS.
Window Cleaner Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 IMO we are on a par with Bolton, . Well if we hadn't got dumped out of the Cup so stupidly we would have had a chance to find out. Crazy,crazy tactics.
rooney Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 Not in a million years. Now if we were looking for a 24yo Robbie Savage type midfielder, that would be a different kettle of fish. However, with Chappers getting fit, that may be the answer.
Dr Who? Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 Premier league quality, could do a job for us no doubt.
Dr Who? Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 IMO we are on a par with Bolton, if he can't get a start in their side what chance has he got down at SMS. We are not on a par with Bolton, IMO
S-Clarke Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 Probably tabloid rubbish, doesn't fit our transfer policy what so ever. Sounds like somewhat of a panic signing if true.
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 10 February, 2012 Posted 10 February, 2012 Was hoping it was either the Millwall captain or the goalkeeper. Ditto.
washsaint Posted 11 February, 2012 Posted 11 February, 2012 Always found it strange Mills was released.......showed all the signs of being a top qulaity player. Now showing it at Reading. The9 - what on earth were you on about? Mills is a regualr at Reading (missed some games due to injury, not dropped) and has just been given a contract extension. I would have Mills over Fox or Harding any day of the week. Not overly impressed with Adkins deaings in the transfer market to date..........
