Maybe it's just me but I really liked that interview. I think he's honest and I'm not sure why propel don't like him.
I don't dislike the fella, but I just can't get over that when you sell a player for a few million, that other clubs will put the price up for players that we want.
Does he not get that?
Oh he gets that. It's just that Charlton were being quoted more than other clubs for the same player. I can see why that might piss of Robinson.
That's football for the reasons I've have already mentioned. It's happened before to us and other clubs. It will happen again.
I know you get it. I just don't believe for one second that he does not!
It's an act people! He's been told to appear angry and frustrated and blame everyone else but CAFC. They pay his wage. He does what he's told.
He took the job knowing what he was getting himself into. He only had to look at previous January transfer windows to see how we did business. He bullshits as much as KM and RD.
Another shite transfer window tinged with a fake and well rehearsed 'frustrated' gloss. Ladies and gents, please don't be sucked in that this is anything else other than a two fingered salute to fans.
KM. RD. TK. KR. Please all just fuck off
Very mature!
From what I've seen since his arrival the gaffer is shaking up the club and I for one will heartily support him worts and all!
Wow, he is proper pissed off. I believe him that he had the funds and a love the type of team he is trying to put together. Roll on Saturday, looking forward to getting behind the team.
My guess would be he probably had a max of £250K & MKD wanted £500K.
Even if it's £1m it's not that much with all our sales this month and the summer. Not if it's the difference between perhaps winning the play-offs or not.
He surely saw Reeves as the "marquee" signing and would have used him in the number 10 role he talked about.
That number 10 role is a key part of KRs favoured 4-2-3-1. We're currently playing a 19/20 year old there who lacks experience and don't have any obvious cover.

I really don't think Robinson is that smart. He speaks before he thinks and is definitely passing on the Duche message.
He has two problems.
1, Duche tends to only back a manager for one transfer window (admittedly because the managers don't last that long.). If Robinson Is still manager come the start of next season I would expect he will have a lower wage and transfer budget.
2, He will hardly be able to blame the regime when he does get the sack.
I didn't mention anything about the club not backing him, quite the opposite is what I heard. He seems quite upbeat, just annoyed that another club has stiffed him. Decent window with Page and JFC coming in plus the loans look ok, Byrne and the Arsenal lad are the stand outs. Looking forward to Saturday

Respect your view @Redhenry but can you genuinely say this window represents a club that desperately wants to get to the next level?
Imo we had clear deficiencies in certain areas going into it, was in receipt of a near £12m windfall from the sale of two players which could bankroll a complete rebuild and some (which only ever comes along to a club our current level once in a blue moon), yet we've ended up taking a (footballing sense) risk on a couple of kids who have never started a professional game but are as cheap as chips on the wage bill as you can get.
If Bob Peeters states that in the Championship there was no ambition to get us to the Premier League you can as sure as shit that Roland goes not a stuff about us being and remaining in League One.
I think we are still paying the price for past mistakes. I hope the budget improves once some of the dead weight has gone. I agree they are never going to break the bank. Robinson has ambition that's a positive. @AFKABartram
I like KR. Listen to that interview and tell me he doesn't care. Considering the money we got for Lookman its a poor window, but not awful. JFC, Bryne are good league 1+ players. Would rather have quality over quantity, the real negative is we havn't shelled out for a striker. Bogle, Wyke, Le Fondre could we have not gone for it?

Oh he gets that. It's just that Charlton were being quoted more than other clubs for the same player. I can see why that might piss of Robinson.
How would he know this?
From the players agent or a contact within the game - football is a cottage industry (no not in financial terms) When it comes to who knows who and I would be surprised if there are so many well kept secrets.
So we will never know as to whether he does know as to the prices asked if CAFC and other clubs. What we have heard rumoured is that Liverpool have inserted a clause in one of their players contract that he can't be sold to a certain north London club. As I say there are not too many secrets in the game.

Come the end of the season we will have 6 loan players going back to their parent clubs. We have Ba, Johnson and Vetokele who are not wanted. We have Watt and Tex who they would love to get rid of because of their wages. We have JJ who is finished. We have Kashi who is permanently injured. Once the majority of them are all gone in the summer we are back to square one yet again. They make the same mistakes year after year.
Edit. Can also add Sarr and Cabellios to that list, totally forgot about those Charlton legends

Like Karl im disappointed the big marquee signing didn't happen but I agree with you. Outing Fox and Ajose is another reason why this window hasn't been that bad (page and the Arsenal guy can't be worse!)
If this Arsenal guy proves good and Holmes, Magennis, Watt & Forster Caskey reach full fitness we could be good enough to sneak into the playoffs.
As he says. It's time to go for it now. The fixtures look kinder and we need to go on a winning run.
Fox just been voted MoTM on his Wednesday debut. Owlstalk are raving about him.

How would he know this?????
Agents would keep him in touch
And are we clear that the player in question has actually been sold to another club?
See I am not quite clear what the alleged motive of the other club is here. We are being asked to believe that the player we wanted was quoted to us for, what 500K, but in the end sold to another club for 250k?
Even if they were trying it on, why did they not, when we said no to 500k, back down and say, OK 300k? Isn' that what you would do, if you thought Charlton could pay more than another club?
I know football is a funny business, but it's still a business.
Good to here Karl tell Katy to start sorting deals for summer out already.bye bye kinda and aribo then. Budget for division 4 should be about right soon.
Managed 3 and a half minutes of Karl's interview. Karl, I could have told you the outcome of this transfer window on January 1st, you're either a fool or a bad actor. Well done for getting in your "why we finished the season 12th" excuses nice and early.
Didn't have all this difficulty signing players when Powell was in charge, or Parky. £150k for BWP, Morrison on a free, Wiggins £400k, Holland's on a free, etc, etc, etc. Amazing what you can achieve with good scouts, a manager who players respect and putting someone who isn't a total imbecile in charge of negotiating fees and contacts.
Am I reading this right? We've bought in nearly TWELVE MILLION in player sales this windows and KR/KM/RD wouldn't loosen the purse strings a bit to get a player in who would have helped fill the gap left by Lookman? What a joke.
So, we have replaced Lookie with the Arsenal kid and Foxy for Page + picked up F-C. If Page grows into the position it might be okay but doubt if we will make the play-offs.

Well Sheffield United are a pretty rich club in this division.

Fella's a Burke.
And as someone said earlier ,it's all an act.
Wait till it all starts going pear. And it will. I bet he's a right Narky git.
