Paul Robinson (5 Viewers)

Makes you wonder why the CT run this article with such a "hit the buffers" clause included that will make it more or less worthless. Filling up column inches?

Reports in South London have linked Millwall skipper Paul Robinson with interest from Coventry City.
Lions’ boss Ian Holloway will not stand in the 32-year-old centre-back’s way if he can secure a contract with another club.
But any possible move to join the Sky Blues appears to have hit the buffers after Steven Pressley signed Sheffield Wednesday defender Reda Johnson at the weekend.
The City manager is also looking for a left-back, a position that Johnson can play, which could leave the door open for Robinson although it’s unlikely given that the Millwall player is predominantly a right-sided centre-half and it appears that Pressley has been looking for a left-footed centre-back to partner Andy Webster.
Robinson did not travel with Millwall to Portugal for their training camp in the Algarve last week, with Holloway promising to give youth a chance this season.
The no-nonsense defender said: “Maybe I’m not in Millwall’s long-term plans so if someone else is interested, that might be an option.
“Ultimately my main focus is to be in the best possible shape for the start of the season and what happens in the meantime happens.”

Yes does seen pointless. Agreed.

We need strikers anyway. Isn't one at the club as it stands

 

[ccfc_Tom]

Hope we do sign another centre back, from what shef wed fans have said johnson is much better at left back than centre back.

Exciting times, season tickets arrived last week. PUSB

 

[spider_ricoh]

At least Waggott soudned like he know what he was talking about when telling the CT we need 5 more players, icnluding a full back, a centre mid and 3 strikers. On the basis of the above comment, let's hoe we sign a full back who can also play CB and who can interchange with Johnson.

Also let's hope the three strikers aren't a repeat of Platt, o'Donovan and Philiskirk !! That was a strike force to behold ... not

Do you reckon Seaborne has fallen out of favour? He said he was looking for a centre back before Blair Adams left and we've signed Johnson, so means we're on the lookout for either a left back or centre back depending on where he views Johnson playing this season.

Is it time for Willis to step up at centre half? Phillips at right back?

I can remember exciting times .... and this isn't it.

 

[Dimi_Konstantflapalot]

Would say so, yeah. Imagine Jordan Clarke will be first choice RB this season with Phillips as his understudy. Really want Willis to kick on this year, hasn't impressed me all that much yet. Though he has been chucked in at the deep end as part of a young back 4 at times

 

[shmmeee]

More important we get the right players in than move quickly IMO. If Pressley knows the type of front two he's after, he can start working on tactics. Strikers can probably gel quicker than any other position. On the other side, they'll be by far our biggest acquisitions this summer so all the more important we bring the right ones in.

Far better a David McGoldrick as the seasons getting going than a Manset in for pre-season.

More interesting times, in the sense of the Chinese proverb.

I hope not, i rate phillips much more than clarke.

It's wooden

Would be good to have a horrible bloke in our team.

Aye, like a Pirate.

 

[sky blue john]

32 is nothing in terms of age for a centre half. It all depends on this years tactics though. If we continue to play a high pressing line, then we need to make sure we have enough covering pace.

[Nick]

If he is their captain, he would be on a decent wedge wouldn't he?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

From a Milwall forum:

Can't say I'm surprised either. Robbo has been a loyal servant to the club and been part of some of our great moments, but being left out of the Portugal trip was clearly another nail in the coffin. Clearly not part of Holloway's long term vision.

Must be pretty high up our all time appearance list and would have had a lot more if not for some serious injuries.

Think he'll do a good job for someone if he drops a division.

Always gave his all for this club so will never be knocked by me. He will still cut it in League 1

Gave his all to club and by his own admission not the greatest player in the world. A credit to his profession when the likes of Suarez and others bring disgrace to this great game.

Can imagine how excited you've been, sounds orgasmic!! What's it been like in the RFC household since then? Macarena on loop? Multiple wanks over the only pic of Tim Fisher the Telegraph seem to possess?

You are Scott Landyard off the Telegraph forum, surely the only person in the world to be 'excited' about the coming season when we don't have a striker on the books?

 

[diggerdaley]

Exciting times ? our best player, the last of "the family silver" as gone replaced by injury prone rejects...

 

[skybluepm2]

I hope not, i rate phillips much more than clarke.

Me too. Jordan Clarke is my least favourite City player of all time. Even more so than Keeet O'Neill. Hopefully Woking will put a bid of £0 in for him

Has the season started now and we don't have a striker signed? I think that is the time to worry!

You've just made me spit out half a pint of Becks Vier. 'Macarena on loop' is the funniest genious line ever.Whereas, £3.35 for a pint of Becks Vier half spat out has absolutely zero comic value.

 

[skybluepm2]

I'm not for one second suggesting that we won't have at least 2 strikers in by the start of the season but should a professional club have NO senior strikers on their books at any time? In my opinion no. I look forward to who we bring in with interest but to use the term 'excited' is the biggest pile of shit since Arjen De Zeeuw

I thought Onye was from Sweden? I'm afraid I can't wire you the monies after what you said about Sky Blue Sam..he's fine just the way he is!

Willis was very solid this year IMO, I don't know if you went to many matches? But he was much better than Christie, and I wouldn't mind him at CB or RB as I believe he has massive potential and is probably better than Webster IMO.
