CONFIRMED Callum Robinson

[Yellarbellyblade]

Underwhelmed

At least give the lad a chance to play a few games before you string him up from the Kop pillars!

 

[PokerBlade]

Not a player I know much about but looks like he fits the bill. Young enough to be part of the squad long term, talented, already got the nod of approval from parts of the dressing room. Not Ribery but I'll take it.

 

[Tunstall Fred]

At least give the lad a chance to play a few games before you string him up from the Kop pillars!

I was just getting in first before the usual doom and gloomers, very good exciting signing this, looking forward to seeing him play in our team.

Obviously a decent lad on and off the pitch, Wilder will have asked Didsy and Enda about his character, also Mick McCarthy I would imagine.

Yet another astute signing

Ah my mistake- mods please use my comments for the posters who say this and mean it!! Cheers

 

[Houso]

Lovely signing.

Basic social.

Would have been an 8/10 transfer, but loses points for lack of hype. 5/10 overall. Would not bang.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

He is one player you did not want to get on the ball in dangerous area's when he was playing for Preston against us.

He has a smile like a certain F1 Renault driver.

Very happy with this confirmation.

 

[Torrix1889]

Ricky will return to normal Forum duties shortly, he is currently engaged in a happy wank.

 

[Bookers Mullet]

Top signing this one, bags of potential and I reckon will be a big hit in the premier league and it's not broken the bank

 

[Sean Thornton]

You’re barking up the wrong tree

Maupays down the well?

 

[DronnieBlade]

Undisclosed fee.

Probably so as not to hurt the feelings of the PNE mob .

UTB

 

[Sean Thornton]

You do realise you’re going to get loads of posts from the 70 year olds telling you how fifteen of them lived in a two up two down and used to eat their dinner by balancing a plate on their younger brother’s head.

FOBTI

 

[Ricky]

And now we wait.

It's been quite the journey. And now, it ends.

Callum. Welcome.

 

[Ricky]

Bloody perfect signing.

He ticks every box and I think he was possibly the best opposition player at BL all season.

Can't believe we've got him and Freeman in already.

When has it ever gone so smoothly for us?

Couldn't agree more. Extremely happy with every signing so far.

Callum Robinson
You are my world

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Picking up the best opposition players from the Championship season who Wilder thinks can improve and be a threat in the Prem.

More Championship top players to come ? or is that putting to many similar eggs in one basket.

 

[007]

Welcome to the Lane

 

[blades95]

list him, he said the M word

 

[CoatesyBlade]

Great signing!... Fast, technically gifted, sweet striker of the ball! We're signing some quality players this window. These aren't just 'do a job' footballers... I'm excited and I believe there's still more to come!
Was trying to decide whether it was time for a beer just yet... Well this has made my mind up!

If you're happy mate, I'm happy

 

[dazzlingblade]

This is another piece of smart business. If you translate Robinson’s record last year to 45 games (same as Maupay) it comes out at 21 goals. Only 18 months older, and make no mistake Robinson would be in the £15-£20m bracket if he’d finished the season on 20+ goals. If we get him for half that then it’s a win

Plus I'm not certain but I don't think Robinson takes pens, I could be wrong I didn't pay much attention, if I'm correct and you add that into the equation he would be on a similar ratio to our 2 other Championship attacking targets

 

[Oreyt]

Dogs. Robinson's. This signing had it all.

 

[Boxer Blade]

Preston fan goes in my pub, will be having a chat later, will post anything interesting that ain't been posted

Underwhelmed

Why so? (Am I missing the joke?)

 

[JPSharpy93]

Really pleased, genuinely thought he would be out of reach for us. I live close to Preston and their fans rate him highly. At under 10 million, this is a great buy and makes perfect sense.

 

[Ricky]

Wilder:

The gaffer remarked: "Callum fits into our structure perfectly as we look to Championship players who we feel can be successful at Premier League level.

"Callum is someone who was on our radar a number of years ago and he has progressed how we thought he would and hopefully there is plenty more to come.

"I feel Callum is a great age and what we have paid represents great value in the current market."

 

[1973Blade]

I finally refresh the page to see a green confirmed box!!

 

[Tunstall Fred]

Why so? (Am I missing the joke?)

Yes, I was just being a bit naughty, Post 663 explains my true feelings.

 

[Sheffsteel]

The assets I like about Callum is

Pace- this is something we lack
Right age - young and should only get better
Versatility - can play on the wing or up front. Someone who can dribble but can also score goals.
Right attitude - it’s obvious that Enda, Egan, and McGoldrick know him from the Irish squad and have vouched for him. He’s hungry to be a success.

 

[Karaoke Blade]

9/10 - loses a point for a terrible Irish accent
