Player Suggestion Ben Mee

[Striker]

Everyone is always on Robinsons back, clearly I'm alone on this one but imo bindon doesn't look better, RND certainly wasn't, so we'd be crazy to sell him, when youre getting in a 35 year old, we've bought a young unproven centre half, we've got other young uns that aren't certain of making the level, ok tanganga is proven at this level. All it takes is a long term injury, see soutter, a red card or multiple yellows and were straight back where we started. Is he prime bobby Moore, no, does he occasionally drop bollocks, yes, but so does everyone at some point, look at anel he was often out of position, but for some reason he got excused, Robinson should stay as a very good back up. In our last Premier league campaign I think that Robinson was one of very very few players to come out of it with any credit. This bandwagon is one I'm certainly not jumping on.

Robinson as a back would just about be acceptable however if he stays and is disruptive (as some reports suggest) then he's got to be moved on.

Nobody is saying that players can't, and won't, make small errors like getting caught out of position or whatever. The problem with JLT is the frequency with which he makes big mistakes. Such as Sunderland away, where he attempted to clear the ball away under no pressure, with his weak foot, and scuffed it perfectly into the path of their lad to run in on goal and score. Anyone with half a brain could see he had time to control the ball, and make a very safe pass back to Cooper to nullify that threat. Instead, he panicked and fucked up. Something which is not uncommon for him. When you consider the fact that we are trying to implement a tactical style that depends on the centre backs being comfortable on the ball, Robinson is simply not up to the task expected of him.

RND got absolute pelters vs Brizzle for his mistakes which led to goals, and yet we're supposed to give Robinson the benefit of the doubt just because he shouts at officials and throws himself into tackles now and then? Not for me.

Hope this is ready to go if/when Robinson to Watford is completed.

Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, but are we allowed to sign free agents outside the transfer window?

As long as the player is a free agent prior to the conclusion of the transfer window, yes we can sign him (provided they're eligible to play in the UK and what not).

Brilliant View From. Hope we get it done asap

First again

Aside from all the noise about Hamer going this transfer for me is critical in terms of experience, leadership and CB aerial ability. I would have expected this to be done and dusted by now. We really do drag transfers out. Mee in the defence against Boro would have given us a better chance of getting something.

The delay I can only assume is down to terms and contract length which Mee may be holding out for in the hope someone else comes in for him at the 11th hour. We cant afford to lose him unless Hamer is going and funds are freed up for Bobby Thomas. The need for a commanding CB is once again being deferred until the last minute. We dont seem to have learnt any lessons.

you may well have made a good point there addison are we holding off giving mee a contract with hamer robinson and maybe a couple of others on their way out if it frees cash up for thomas and it could be having a knock on effect on coventry's quest of charlie hughes gonna be an interesting 2/3 days
