Name a game since he came here that he has dominated ? He's had good games but nothing to back up the hype that some people write on here.
He is clearly very skillful but can he put that into practise consistently ? He never looks like scoring (even his goal at WBA was a massive deflection) and I really can't see how he could make a difference in the current first XI.
I certainly don't think he's the obvious answer others believe but in fairness, at some point he needs to play in the No: 10 role just behind Jones or Macheda to test him and assess whether he does have what it takes. He is certainly not a winger or CM player at this level.

There are more numbers to the equation. Name a game Pilkington or Noone dominated and what would warrant to put Gabbidion ahead of him on the bench?

Fair point but for me both Noone and Pilko have done more than Robin has.
I too don't see what the fuss is - potential not realised, too easily knocked off the ball last season, even harder this season in the Championship.
Would love him to succeed but I don't see it from what I've seen of him.

This is madness, getting rid of our only player with star quality; likely cheaply. Typical Cardiff City, lets bring in a bunch of journeymen instead to add to what we already got FFS!

He has just recently made it through puberty. Has allready made an ok impression in the premier league, plays regular international games and has attracted bigger clubs interest at some level.
One would think this is a guy a club will appreciate and take care of, both from a business and footballing point of view, as he could potentially contribute with some great football and eventually a load of money at some point in the future.
If hes good enough to start matches right now, i wouldnt know, and should be up to the people who see him on the training ground every day. But i defo wouldnt risk leaving him feeling unwanted and left out, considering what he could be worth one day.

Annis think he needs a complete rethink on away strategy! More creativity with some steel? Is that possible with our squad?

Yes, it will be interesting to hear what Ole has to say about everything when a final agreement is made and he is able to speak out. So far he has been silent as a grave.

Allan, There is a lot of quality players in our squad to put a very good team together.![]()
We need a Leader/Captain first and not Marshall.

Adeyemi and Dikgacoi were supposed to be that steel, but stainless, they were not. Now there is only Gunnars to rely on. Maybe a straight 4-5-1 could be the answer? Something like Noone, Whittingham, Gunnarsson, Ravel, Pilkington (or Dæhli for one of them), and put midfielders on the bench, not only defenders. Let the ones on the pitch run until death and put in fresh legs for whoever dies first.

Good post.
Love your expression - 'run until death and put fresh legs on for whoever dies first' mate!!
