timharding Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Robinson is a decent player however this is allied to the fact that he is a bigger clearing in the woods than Craig Bellamy. I always thought he was a decent player, may be good for backup. But why is he a clearing in the woods? Sorry if i have miss anything cos i just dunno the guy apart from when he is playing. Hates the Villa, goes round smashing people during derbies to prove he's committed! When I say smashing people I dont mean tough tackling. I mean genuine attempts to injure opponents. Ask Michael Kightley and Damien Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted May 31, 2007 Moderator Share Posted May 31, 2007 Sorry Brian, he is better than UDLC Seriously though, both players can have absolute blinders but both are liable to more than the odd lapse in concentration. I have never seen Bramble have a blinder, but we are digressing, carry on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sureshot Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 O`NEILL COOLS INTEREST IN BELLAMY Posted 31/05/07 13:51EmailPrintSave Martin O'Neill is cooling his interest in signing Liverpool striker Craig Bellamy after learning he would have to pay between £10-12million for his signature. Bellamy could become surplus to requirements at Anfield after just one season with the Merseysiders and he was only a substitute for the Champions League final. O'Neill worked successfully with Bellamy during a loan spell at Celtic two years ago but is not prepared to pay significantly over the odds for the Wales international. He will instead seek better value for money elsewhere unless the Reds drop their price. West Brom full-back Paul Robinson is being monitored by O'Neill following the Baggies' failure to regain their top-flight status. Robinson has two years left of his contract and, although remaining committed to the Baggies, he also expressed a desire to play in the Premiership again after the play-off final defeat by Derby on Monday. Wilfred Bouma filled the left-back role for most of last season but the departure of Jlloyd Samuel to Bolton leaves him short of cover and competition in that department. O'Neill's summer targets are being bankrolled by club owner Randy Lerner but the fact other clubs, including West Ham and Newcastle, have financial muscle could make his task more difficult. He said: "It won't be easy, but that's the beauty of it. I'm not sure it's the case we're all going for the same players. But one thing is for sure, we're going to to try to improve and we have our own priorities. "West Ham made their intentions very clear in January and they have made them clear now so I expect them to be (signing) very big players in the transfer market in the summer. "They have got renewed life from staying up and there's no doubt that, if they were already making inroads in January, they are certainly going to go for it now as well. "Newcastle will be giving it a big go now as well - as they always do." Click Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocafella Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Wonderful news if true. He would be too much of a risk in my eyes, a 50/50 liability. Also not worth the money. He is an 8M man, nothing more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted May 31, 2007 Moderator Share Posted May 31, 2007 Possibly VBG. Or it could be another example of a clever MON tautology. To say that he is not sure of something another club is doing is just that. It neither means we are or are not going for any specific type of player and is MON being his ever coy self.
