Wasn't/isn't Robinson a winger/inside forward also?
Perhaps he would actually be better playing up front. Thierry Henry started life as a winger and was moved. Jags used to play in midfield. Basham never used to play as an overlapping centre back.
The problem is Robinson still looks like a winger rather than a striker which is where he is asked to play. My biggest concern in signing Bowen would be whether he'd be able to adapt better. From the games I've seen him play, he floats more than Robinson and I think would be ok playing as a second striker with licence to drop deeper to get the ball (a la McGoldrick) but he'd be an expensive misfit if he can't.
