Don't really know anything about him, don't remember him from last seasons games with Preston at all. Can he play across the front 3 or is he more left sided? Was wondering whether he could replace Philips once Diangana is fit again.

Hopefully can provide a spark wide left where we need it.

Be interesting to see how he works with Pereira (once his ban is up).

Good record at this level and I believe he can play across all. 3.

I live in Ireland now and the lads here reckon if he is fit and ready to go He's quite a good player. Likes to run at people and can play wise and cut inside, has a bit of pace about him. Think it's a good loan move.

Might be what we need.

I see your point, but Zohore, Austin and HRK are all lacking.  Austin is still my pick of those though.

I like the Robinson deal as it's a loan. I wouldn't be happy buying him permanently as I don't want us lumbering ourselves with players not good enough for the Premier League should we get there (it is still possible).

Robinson's record in the Championship is good though and he is an ideal loan till the end of the season.

check out his goals highlights from that last season with Preston (when he scored against us at home).  I thought it would be shots of a wide player scoring after cutting in, but lots of tap ins and smart finishes.   COULD BE just what we need coming in under the radar.

even if he plays on the left of a 4-2-3-1 we dont need him?

signed diangana and edwards as another option, whats the point of signing robinson??

we need an out and out striker !!!!

Totally respect your opinion of course. Mine however is that you will be proved wrong about this lad. Time will tell.

I saw a video of all his goals from 18/19. It does also show why he wont make it in the premiership as a goalscorer. It suggested on the Sheffield United forum suggest they've tried using him as the main striker, which could go some way to explaining why it hasn't worked out.

A lot of his goals were from situations typical of the championship and lower league, but are few and far between in the premiership.

Decent signing on loan without an obligation.

Decent little piece in the E&S with Luke Hatfield (does that bloke ever take a day off?). Interview with their counterpart in South Yorkshire media discussing Robinson.

Journalist there describes him as having a great pre season but a difficult time since August. Good technical player, but lacks the pace to suit Wilder's style, but he has contributed from the bench with assists. Interesting to note the point on pace as this was supposed to be one of his plusses and yet all of the noises from Sheffield seem to be saying he really isn't quick at all and his skills lie in his ability with the ball.

Hopefully his versatility allows us to play him in a couple of positions.

Irish Baggie here.  He's been involved in the last few games for us under Mick McCarthy and was truly woeful in a few of those games.
Hopefully he shows us he is better than that.

Played well today and gave us the threat we have been missing down the left since GD got injured. Would have been better if we had signed him at the start of Jan instead at the end.

Pleased by the early reports from family at the game and online reports. Seems to have worked well with HRK when he came on. I hope he grows into our side and helps get us back to the form we need for promotion.

Breath of fresh air today.

Gave us another dimension and a constant threat, could tell he was eager to score.

Once Diangana and Pereira are back, and the introduction of Gros, it gives us a real attacking threat and gives the opposition several things to think about.

He linked really nicely with Krovinovic - lots of one twos.

It was actually his desire and determination on and off the ball that really stood out for me. We've had some loan signings over the years that simply have not done that.

A good start. More of the same at Millwall please, Callum.

He would make a great defensive midfielder with the amount of interceptions he made today.

Ethic without the ball was equally as good as his qualities with it.

I think the FA Cup hinders attempts to sign PL fringe players, the PL club wants to hang on to them to get through 4th and 5th rounds.

What a breath of fresh air :D Absolute steal to get him on loan for the rest of the season.
He has pace to burn,,,great ball control and scares the life out of defenders when he runs at them.

I personally would like to see him upfront as a "striker" he would score plenty in that position.
A few comments made are that that he is "greedy" and won't look for a player in a better position. I disagree, all good players need to be a bit selfish and have the confidence to finish a move.

I think when Grady is back on the left, Matheus playing the number 10 with Krov beside him and Grosicki on the right we will be unstoppable.
That attack would be good enough in the "Prem" ;D ;D ;D

Very good attacking player at this level. I like his directness. Will happily run at players and have a pop. Great addition to squad.
