Theo ROBINSON

Argus says he might be available after being left out of play off second leg.........type of player we need?

Huddersfield got him on a free transfer last season and got 16 goals.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

weren't we after him last year?

 

[FalmerforAll!**]

Swap deal with Murray?

 

[cobbyseagull]

yes were after him and robbie simpson who both ended up at Huddersfield. Was at Watford before so might fancy coming back down south.... simpson might be availble on loan now also but didnt perform last season.

13 Goals in 17 starts (I know he also made 20 subsitute apps) but thats pretty good going for someone that young. Would happily have him here if the price is right.
Think Huddersfield paid about 200-300k for him though.

 

[cobbyseagull]

yeah he may not have ben a free transfer ctaully...found some websites saying free, others undisclosed!

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Think Huddersfield fans consider him a bit hit & miss. Bags of potential & scores some spectacular efforts but just as likely to miss an easy chance.

I thought they paid a fee for him too.

 

[dingobruce]

This is from a Watford Observor article from last summer, so guessing he went to Huddersfield for 200k +

Robinson’s move to Swindon Town is unlikely to be concluded for at least another week as the striker is out of the country.

The 20-year-old had a choice between Swindon and Brighton & Hove Albion, who both offered around £200,000 for the striker, a fee which could rise to £275,000 with additional add-ons based on appearances and promotion.

[severnside gull]

sounds like Dickinson all over again.


wouldn't say no to him coming here but not a replacement for Murray

 

[Foolg]

I thought they paid a fee for him too.

They did. Reportedly Watford wanted 275k, which Southend and Swindon werent prepared to pay, Huddersfield did.
Did pretty well this year, so presume they'd want about that back.

Swap deal with Murray?

It doesn't sound like there's much point:

[Ninja Elephant]

Huddersfield paid about £300,000 for him, and pinched him from under the noses of Swindon, much like they pinched Simpson from under our noses. I wouldn't really want either of them if I'm being honest, but I would rather Robinson than Simpson, someone who has proven he scores goals. His goal for Southend here was pretty special.

yes we were after him and robbie simpson who both ended up at Huddersfield. QUOTE]

Which of our managers was after him?

Swap deal with Murray?

If Murray is determined to leave then (providing there's a couple of hundred thousand adjustment in your favour) it wouldn't be a bad outcome.

Robinson had a good goals per game record last season; Simpson has done nothing to suggest he can cut the mustard at League One level.

 

[B.W.]

Robinson please... Murray has made it VERY clear he wants to leave... great player, but better for all concerned if he goes, IMHO...

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Murray has made it VERY clear he wants to leave

I must have missed that press conference.

 

[B.W.]

I must have missed that press conference.

2 transfer requests... numerous tantrums on the pitch including the one leading to his current ban.... even took on the fans at one point... no press conference yet TBH... that said, he really doesn't merit one...
