Not sure how reliable that is tbh, Bruce has already said Adam Reach will be an important player and that we aren’t looking for strikers because we have Zohore and Dike in that position. I have no doubt that we’ll try and get rid of Kipre.
Robinson is hit and miss but I wouldn’t be surprised to see the club replace him with someone worse or, more worryingly, not replace him if he goes.
We don’t need a first 11 we need a squad
Correct. Although it has been widely reported lately we’re definitely in the market for another striker. Hence the links with Gayle and Archer.
I’m in the minority that rates Robinson. A good player at this level that thrived in a creative team under Bilic. Also did okay in the PL and was consistent under Big Sam.
No denying his form has dropped off but I can’t help put that down to our squad dramatically dying with creativity overall. His goals and assists record wasn’t too bad last season either. The abuse he gets you think he’s not scored or assisted for years.
I wouldn’t get rid of him. Some players have it worse than others for the amount of criticism they get despite their contributions. It was Grant but then it shifted to Robinson. We seem to have hardly any players that can contribute goals and assists. Selling our most productive attacking players in terms of goals and assists IMO would be shooting ourselves in the foot; and I’ve seen calls for both Robinson and Grant to be sold.
