Why the fuck is this guy starting games in Serie A, but not considered worth having around a Championship club in place of, say, a bloke who is desperate to leave (and is shite)?

Can't make it make sense. Robinson is also an option in the 10, and I'm pretty sure he played as a striker on occasion for the youths. 

 

Agreed. Far more to his game than Edoize.

He needs to be starting games week in week out otherwise he won't improve. 20 minutes here and there isn't enough and would be damaging for his development.

Worrying Dan thinks that that commentary is in Italian. What are they teaching the youngsters in schools these days!

Good luck to him but playing for a lowly Serie A club isn't a major step up on a leading Championship club.

Always felt he is a busy body but with no end product. Hopefully he will develop over there and come back a better player. Evidently Juric saw something in him..

Playing in Serie A at 19?  Might actually be amazing?

What an utter load of nonsense.  being a starter in Serie A at 19 (2nd ranked competition in Europe) or Championship (10th ranked) is not comparable.

I really thought Tonda believed in our Academy but it is seeming he is no different from the others.  Robinson would have been  a really good option for us this season and certainly offers more than Sam fuckin shite Edozie

But difficult to justify a commission to Rasmus’s brother’s Talent Identity company for kids in our own academy. Much better to player trade and show Dragan how clever that original plan was that so seduced him and his money.

I hadn't seen that before. Judging by the fact the club let Ballard go, no one at the club has seen it either. FFS.

I like him but this loan could be brilliant for everyone. Next season we could have a great player on our hands - certainly a more developed one than if he spent 20 minutes replacing Leo every week. 

Maybe if we'd done something like this for Ballard, Amo-Ameyaw etc. they would have got a proper chance at SFC at the end of it.

Nah, we'll just end up selling him next summer for £££ I expect.

I suspect he will never play for Saints again.

When Tonda has finished being found out, we will scramble for a new manager and inevitably remain in this league...that is when the pain begins, Danny boy.

I'd argue that we don't have the luxury of making plans for next season and we should be mining every possible resource to acheive this season's goals.

To that end, Robinson offers us more value being a usable option in our squad, than being out on loan in someone else's squad.

Ballard had three loans and Sam AA went on loan to Strasbourg?

Ballard's loans were all lower league though, right? Impressing in Serie A is a bit different.

Depends how he is ranked amongst the squad. If he's 3rd choice on a wing then he would hardly play.
