CONFIRMED Jack Robinson joins Birmingham City

[Berkshire Blade]

Verifying Device

 

[FTPE]

People will keep saying "great deal" no matter who we sell? But IS IT if we dont replace them or at least buy better? I keep hearing what a fantastic deal for the club Anel and Souza was (I get the Moore one a bit more) but it's not your money. If we dont spend it its a good deal for the owners NOT the team or club.
The same with this one.

 

[UddersBlade]

If true - might explain rumours of Robbo wanting to leave. After today I can see Wrexham pushing harder & with Robbo only having a 1 year extended deal - I can see our owners cashing in again!

 

[UddersBlade]

I don’t actually believe it - but to an outsider - COH’s behaviour at the moment & apparent inability to spend any money looks very much like ‘Asset Stripping’ to protect their investment & avoid losses!

 

[Macfarlane21]

Wouldn't surprise me if JLT wants to leave with all the stick our fans give him

 

[MayorOJC]

At least one positive has come from today

 

[RetfordBlade96]

Mental that we could end up with Bindon as only centre half after today also terrible I’m actually worried about losing JLT

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

It’s a good sale if you’ve got a recruitment team that has the ability to act in advance. We don’t. I reckon Robinson will want off, it’s a fresh start for him.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Buy Robinson for tuppence and get RND for free.............i'll drive both there myself.

 

[Bookers Mullet]

Horrible if true, not that he's great, just a decent back up centre half, but we know any money will just go into COHs deep pockets

 

[paidsy]

If this happens before anyone is in, and by anyone I mean 2 CB's, then I may move into the moist bed group. Not wet still...

 

[Bladesman]

If they are mental enough to give us a decent fee for him but as others said we need to see players coming in now.

 

[robbiez666]

Get some money for him and it's decent business. It seems he's not happy here, last year of his contract and not good enough, so do it before they change their mind.

 

[Cappy]

“Wrexham are pushing to sign Jack Robinson. Talks, which were well advanced last week, stalled following the sale of Anel Ahmedhodžić. The Welsh club remains interested.”

 

[Mouth of the South]

Like Moore, JLT would fit better in Parkinson's basic football style than what Selles is trying to instill. However, for all his faults and as much as I don't rate him, I'd be nervous about losing his leadership and determination from the spine and squad unless more / better are on their way. As suspected and as shown today, the lack of defensive quality (including in midfield) will leave Utd suseptable. Bristol City were clinical but I'd be surprised if they finish in the top 10 this season - better teams will find Utd very easy to play against.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

All for getting rid.

Just need 2/3 replacements there who are better

 

[s20Blade]

Throw in another Welsh megastar RND and we have a deal.

 

[Thrice]

Without Robinson we'd need 3 CBs. Two of them would have to be clear upgrades and one at least solid. Is that even realistic this late in the transfer window?

 

[DronnieBlade]

Getting daft now this.

I do think it’s time for Jack to consider moving on but this leaves us 3 CBs short.

You just can’t be fucking around with the most important area on the pitch like this and hope to get away with it !!

Things need to start falling in to place next week. In fact have to.

UTB

 

[jono_t2000]

Anyone in the last year of their contract is fair game to be sold under this ownership.. whether we're short of players or not

 

[Shadota]

Once we've gotten replacements in the building, he can bugger off. Not good enough at Championship level - let Wrexham figure that out for themselves

 

[Kevincarterversion2.0]

Some good news from today then.

 

[TJ blade]

Throw in another Welsh megastar RND and we have a deal.

Buy one/ get one free. Jobs a good un

 

[Macfarlane21]

Is this the real reason he didn't start today?

 

[Weasel]

Once we've gotten replacements in the building, he can bugger off. Not good enough at Championship level - let Wrexham figure that out for themselves

Exactly. "Once we have replacements in the building".

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

They play with a back 3, so he'd be a decent signing for them. Realistically, we can't allow any more players to leave without having replacements.

 

[harrry1990s]

Wrexham should sign RND. He’s Welsh.

 

[Gin&Juice]

Was this what Blade58 was alluding to do about a player wanting to leave?

 

[HOT CURRIE 10]

See what we are like in a couple of weeks time, if these owners don’t start with investment as well as selling we are in trouble after that showing.

 

[Addison]

No problem with him going if we get a fee hes only got 1 year left on his contract. There comes a point however where you have to question the mentality of the owners recruitment team and manager if they think we can get in 3 quality experienced CB's and integrate them into the team at such short notice.

Im not JLT's biggest fan but even I realise its another experienced player thats going. If today showed anything it was that there were a lack of leaders which the younger players desperately needed out there on the pitch.
