theboyangel Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I watched RHM during the recent Hong Kong Soccer 7s and whilst he is very quick, he is still an extremely raw talent. He has a lot to learn but is undoubtedly a promising young player. Robinson has a lot more game experience and could be useful next season, especially considering the league we'll be plying our trade in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for giving youth a chance hence why I think Robinson should be in our squad. He has played more football league games that Hepburn Murphy at this stage. Personally I think Hepburn should be in and around the squad too with a loan spell or two next season. What has Hepburn done compared to Robinson? Nothing. I was merely showing another option as you stated that we will only have Gestede and Kozak left. Robinson has already had a few spells of league football and has hardly set the world alight. I am all for our youth coming through but just don't see Robinson having a future with us. Happy to be proved wrong of course but would rather we sign a loan player like Patrick Bamford etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you get a player like Kane who doesn't look great and then suddenly becomes Englands no1 striker. Gabby mark 1 didn't do much on loan and then came back and did well. It's all about game time, hard work and belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted July 4, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted July 4, 2016 Official Twitter just tweeted that he's left on a permanent deal to Preston North End. Good luck Callum.

sir_gary_cahill Posted July 4, 2016 Author Share Posted July 4, 2016 That's a shame, I still think he's a terrific young player with a great future in the game. I think he should've been given more opportunities here, especially with our lack of options in the forward area, good luck to him 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashingqwerty Posted July 4, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted July 4, 2016 Saddened at this news. Thought he was decent. Hopefully this means hes not as good as someone coming in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Even though I'd have liked him to stay, I've never seen a great deal from him when I've watched him play. He had a bit of pace and tries hard, but I never really saw anything extra special from him. I think my main hopes for him staying here were based on the previous loan spell he had at PNE when he scored 4 goals in 6, or whatever it was.

In my opinion, he definitely has quality, he's a good finisher and has a good brain, not only that but he works hard as well. I think it just shows how good you have to be to make it here. In my opinion, he should've been given more of an opportunity here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to be playing football at this point to develop and he's unlikely to get it here. Presuming we sign/keep hold of forwards. Didn't really get chance to see if he was any good as he wasn't given much of an opportunity. The little I saw I wasn't expecting too much from him but their wasn't much to judge on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 he's 21 so if he was going to be something special he would be doing more by now, struggled on his last loan, needs to play a lot of football, he wont get it here, we get a small development fee good move all round i think 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Last season he was in and out of the PNE team and struggled to adapt to the championship but this season he's one of their key players and think him and DJ will again give us trouble in two weeks. Not a stretch to think he'll be playing in the premier league in a few seasons....I also don't think that square ball across goal was awful either....how slow was Hugill?!

It certainly wasn't 'awful', but I thought it went too far ahead of Hugill. It wasn't quite as square as it needed to be, even acknowledging that Hugill could have been quicker as well. I was impressed with Robinson though. Fair play and best of luck to the lad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
