Trotters & Toffees tracking WBA star

Bolton boss Sam Allardyce is pondering a move for West Brom left-back Paul Robinson - but will face competition from Everton for his signature.

 

The Trotters chief is looking to reduce the average age of his squad and admits he wants to sign 'hungry' and 'strong' players this summer.  

 

Robinson certainly fits that bill and the 27-year-old hardman was one of Albion's most consistent players last season.  

 

The Baggies dropped out of the top flight but boss Bryan Robson was so impressed with Robinson's contribution that he urged England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson to take a close look at him on several occasions.  

 

Bolton's first-choice left-back is Ricardo Gardner but veteran striker Henrik Pedersen was forced to fill in several times last season.  

 

With that in mind, Allardyce wants more competition in that position and has plenty of money to spend this summer, having had an ??8million bid for Crystal Palace hitman Andrew Johnson rejected on Monday.  

 

Albion insist they are under no pressure to sell their star players despite their relegation to the Championship, but an offer in the region of ??3million may interest Robson, especially as he has Neil Clement on the books at The Hawthorns.  

 

If Bolton were to lodge a bid, Toffees boss David Moyes could also register his interest as he is keen to provide stiffer competition for Alessandro Pistone at Goodison Park.

 

PLEASE NO!!! this lad is complete and utter shite! i think we were linked earlier in the season, so i made a point of watching him. He is terrible, i lost count of the number of goals he cost wba.

 

surely this is just newspaper talk, sam would not be intresting in such a shite footballer [-o<

What's all this about? Are Everton only ever going to make a bid on players Bolton bid on? Pablo, is this the way they do business in the Blue part of Liverpool?

So no chance of it being the other way round.....we have been after Andy Johnson for over a year!

That, to my eyes, says Everton are just following suit.

Or that to my eyes looks like shocking journalism!!!!

 

Anyway, why would we want this guy......Pistone is our 3rd choice left back....competition for our 3rd choice ?!?!?!?!?

Robinson is poo. I'd sooner have Pedersen at left back.

 

PB

Steady on!!!

Steady on!!!

 

Have to defend Peders, done really well at left back this season, can hardly fault him, would prefer Pedersen left back to Hunt right back

Robinson's linked with Bolton and Everton because he looks a bit mean and we're Northern cloggers©

 

It's media rubbish.

He also has injury worries; Lou Carpenter gave him a smack yesterday.

Injury worries? I'll say. He's only got the one leg these days, hasn't he?

I rate him. Certainly one of their best players. Has struggled in the Prem in the past, but last season was tipped for England by Baggies fans.

 

Impressed me a lot throughout 05/06 and I wouldn't mind him as cover. Can also play at centre back.

are you blind?

 

or are you thinking of neil clement?

 

paul robinson is about 5ft4 and can not play centre half...

Was thinking the very same thing! A few people have got confused with those two. Just hope Fat Phil and Sam haven't. Wouldn't put it past them.....

simon charlton played at centre back and did well. Robinson was west broms best player last year and the only reason he seemed to be the scape goat for their goals was because he was the one doing all the work and taking command. that davies is completly overated and the only reason people want him is because west brom paid high money for him so he must automatically good

if you truely believe robinson is a better player than davies, your footballing knowledge is highly questionable im afraid...

Five foot four? Robinson's a monster. He always looks like he's about to kill somebody whenever he's on the telly. Don't fancy him in our back four much, mind.

Position: defender

Squad number: 3

Nationality: English

D.O.B: 14/12/1978

Birthplace: Watford

Height: 5ft 9in (1.75m)

Weight: 11st 6lb (73kg)

 

ok i was exaggerating, but 5'9 is not tall enough for a centre half imo

 

he's an inch shorter than me, 3lbs lighter and im like a streak of piss!

 

oh and look, he's 2 days older than me...

Coffin dodger

 

PB

If this is one of the English players that are hungry for the game Sam was on about ..... GOD HELP US !!!!!!!

 

How many exclamation marks do any of these comments really warrant?

SO WOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

IS THAT ENOUGH FOR YOU OR DO YOU WANT MORE ?????

 

There's no need for the cheek. And take fckin Caps Lock off.

was he not the successful businessman in Ramsay Street mid to late eighties?

Yes, and apparently he only has one leg.

I rate him. Certainly one of their best players

 

Spot on that man, decent going forward and not afraid to stick a foot in. ??3 million is surely some kind of joke though? Very decent squad player, but that kind of money has to mean virtually guaranteed first team football at Bolton
