Also why Lookman wasn't loaned back as Charlton wanted, Fox and maybe one more in.

    Robinson says orher League One sides waiting for Charlton charge plus fitness updates.
  • "We’ll have a look in the last week of January and see what sort of manoeuvring there is that suits us – and not that suits agents or someone else’s bank balance,” said Robinson"

  • Maybe one more in! From reading that it sounds to me as if that's it for the incomings.

    Well that's the new tablecloths in the canteen sorted.

    KM will be happy.

    "What I wanted to do was do business that secured positions and gives us energy, that gives us ball retention. We’re 11th now and we’ll sit back for a few weeks, take stock of where we’re at – if ONE comes up that’s worth spending money on we will do it.”"
  • "People will be able to see in the next 50 years that young players coming through are going to be very well supported..." and then sold on asap presumably???

    Fecking hell, I'm all for a bit of a long term view but that sort of objective isn't exactly going to have the turnstiles spinning off their hinges with supporters flooding back.

    Plus I'll have long been worm food...

    Note also that Cawley says £8m upfront.

    Anyone still think we have or will spend £4m of that on players this window or was the £400k to spend a little bit more realistic?

    Robinson sounds utterly ridiculous there. And some people want to form a group that actively supports Roland's ownership...

    I do appreciate coaches have to do media work as part of their role and perhaps it isn't fair to pull apart every word KR comes out with. In other circumstances some of the stuff might be better received or even amusing...but jeez he does come out with some utter nonsense.

    Just beat Millwall Karl.

    So he has gone from saying we will splash some cash and sign at least one maybe two more to basically saying no on else is coming in?

    It possibly also means that if we lose the next 3, or let's say don't win any, we'll be unlikely to make the play offs and they won't be spending.

    I'm a bit worried about us relying on two very young inexperienced players being the centre of our midfield for the rest of the season. They have great potential and looked good against a poor Bristol Rovers but they are gonna come up against some very experienced players. I still think the midfield will be our downfall this season.

    Karl needs to stop talking about shit like the training ground, he needs to win games now, he sounds desperate and under the regimes thumb. Win games starting today and people will respect you, end of.

    Still like Karl's enthusiasm. At least by being like that he keeps the madness away from the players and focuses them on being a confident attacking side.

    But yes, need to win today or it all looks a bit hollow.

    I think his heart is in the right place. He's just rather exciteable, talks too quickly and therefore is often unintelligable.

    To be honest I can think of a lot of managers that I dislike more (Pardew), so if he gets the team performing to their potential, that's good enough for me.
  • That's alot to spend on the training ground, the canteen as expensive as the Valley, Karl?

    Robbo went to Belgium to try to charm some money out of the fruitcake for transfers and was firmly put back into his box. Hes trying to save face by giving us a different plan, because he knows his credibility is on the line, especially if he loses both games against Millwall, after talking up a performance to make us proud in the first game.
  • I've no idea how much we genuinely have/had to spend this window, but downplaying the budget is also an attempt to persuade other clubs that we don't have millions waiting to be spent...
  • Of course rowland wants to spend money on the training ground getting the youngsters up to speed ready to sell
    Hes a businessman all he is worried is money
    His masterplan works for him making big bucks
    If he realy wanted to get out league 1 he would have given that lookie money to Robinson to bring in 3 or 4 quality proven league 1 players

    The whole last month he's been saying how he's going to spend and bring in some quality new players.

    The window comes and he says this.

    Just stop talking bollocks Karl, please.

    Is he really saying that he did not see his wife and kids over the Christmas period?

    Long winded scouse way of saying enjoy watching the premiership players of the future for a while as far as I can see.

    Nothing's changed.

    It's just flannel. 8m plus in for fees, less than 400k out. Still expect a couple to leave, squad still not good enough. Good to see the heavy investment though in the player farm.
