Theo Robinson - Signing Confirmed

Has the klaxton sounded yet ??

 

No rush if it is Robinson. Probably sign tomorrow

 

Some of you lads need to stay away from sharp instruments ffs, lets hope the 3 points against Walsall will cheer some of you miserable lot up.

 

People are acting like we have swapped cook and signed Theo on a 5 year contract; he's literally cover for 3 months.

 

It is pretty clear the chief scout is the one suggesting players to the club, It was probably put to Adams that it was hobsons choice of either this player the club can afford or nothing,

 

Isnt he on thebooks at Vale as he was reregistered at the end of January? He has the no 12 shirt

 

I’d honestly rather give Scales a chance in that sort of inside left forward position Angol was taking up tbh, I thought he looked dangerous going forward back end of last season and he’d give it his all and is already here on a new deal. I’d put him before Robinson but I hope he proves me wrong if he gets on.

 

So OOC and a free agent, I assume?

 

All this negativity. Chill its had for the soul

 

Adam's comment regarding Robinson not being a Angol, I took to mean that he's different in style of play.
I did however, feel that Adam's was very frustrated at not getting a striker in that he wanted.
Robinson may only be required until xmas.
The biggest gamble was bringing in Angol knowing he has a history of injury, and how often have we had players brought to this club that have spent half their contracts sat in the physios room.. do we never learn

 

Looks like Robinson to me

 

Shouldnt have come to this, scrating around whilst we are actually playing on deadline day.

No excuses here, this should have been an easy window building on the groundwork done in the summer and positivity of a great start.

If we can't improve the squad now we never will. All points to a clash of opinions between manager,recruiting team and budget setters

 

Can you explain how you can justify that comment, when during season 19/20 he got 18 in 44?

Or are we just judging 32 year old players on one season. In that case it's a wonder that anyone wanted Doyle after his time with us

Any chance fans can actually be objective when judging a player. He's clearly a problem child, hence all the clubs - but he's not someone who has the poor goal scoring record you seem to think - after all Port Vale were hardly an expansive chance creating team last season

Also, couldn't it be that Adams is a bit pissed off about conceding 5 goals without reply in the last two matches

 

You guarentee it, how about a little £10 BBU both are still here in a successful Bradford City squad, are we on I will show receipt of payment if I lose.

 

We weren’t expecting to be replacing Angol a couple of weeks ago. I suppose the target moved from midfielder to attacker. In a way it’s better Angol getting injured when he did rather than tonight, giving us no chance of getting another striker in the building.

 

I find it amusing how people stress their disappointment at signing Robinson, but can’t name any other realistic options when challenged.

 

We needed another forward/striker before Angol ( accident waiting to happen) got injured. Everyone could see that.

Couldn't see them clamour for another midfielder personally unless another was leaving which didn't happen.

We need to be organised, but again I guess thats the norm/pitfall when you have recruitmant managers and managers. Opinions may differ

 

Shocking signing. I hope we’re proven wrong but someone don’t think we will. We’re his 14th club…..that says it all.

Alex Jones was available and he did ok for Northampton lad season. Younger, eager and I know has had injury problems but I’d have taken Alex in a heartbeat

 

And let's not forget a very good performance away at Mansfield, yes it could have gone either way but Adams changed things late in the game to give us that chance by bringing a knackered Callum Cooke off and bringing fresh legs on in Crankshaw.
