    Good Morning Everyone,

    Will it happen today, or wont it? The expected arrival of Pearce may not be completed til the end of the week. There has also been late interest by thieving bastards Norwich. Lets hope they have been put firmly in there place.

    What really annoyed me last season, is that time after time, whenever we went after a transfer target, they always went elsewhere. Hopefully we will gain some satisfaction when we sign targets that are sought after by other clubs...

    We will not be retaining the services of Robinson, the 33 year old left back has been told that Warnock is not interest in brionging him to Elland Road next season.

    Millwall have made there first permanent signing of the season, signing Maik Taylor from the Mighty Whites. Congratulations Lions <ok>

    Morning. I think the club as a whole needs confirmation on Pearce ASAP. Just to show Bates has a small bit of ambition in him. I suspect well be paying a fee (if not huge) for him, which is always a bonus. Sick of all the frees and loans... After a night of fruitful dissertation writing, Pearce confirmation will complete my day!

    Unsure on Robinson. Seem to settle in well, then just fell apart after one bad performance. We need players who are determined to fight back after adversity. If we had 11 Brown's on the pitch we would be alright. Albeit with probably an even worse disciplinary record than this season!

    Morning Cheese,

    Robbo was fantastic against Boro, do you remember that crunching tackle he made that woke up the crowd. He was lapping it up...

    Morning all. I have a horrible feeling the Pearce move will fall through, due to some issue with the player, which no other club have found and hence he joins Norwich.
    I really can't see us paying for any player, as Bates has shown an unwillingness to do this in the past, so we must be looking at the freebies or long term loan players.
    I'll be happy if proved to be wrong....

    I think the Boro game was his best game, it all went downhill after that.

    Of course, he was excellent through out that game. Come to think of it so was the whole team. How I long for those days.

    Robinson seem to go downhill after that... especially at home. Although I guess when the whole team plays so badly as we have at Elland Road recently, it's hard to stand out. Undecided is my opinion on him. Doesn't look like he'll be staying so time to plan for the future. I love White's enthusiasm and pace, but can't see him as a left back long term. We need to invest in a whole back four.

    Robbo's not a small athletic lad, he certainly loves his food. He reminds me of the other Robinson that we had a few seasons ago that we signed from Swansea, and was a big flop. He too, was, lets say big boned.... And he got slower and slower as he put weight on

    Good old Andy Robinson, what a player (actually he was a cracking player, when he could be bothered and was fit enough). Now back at Tranmere again. Can also be found pretending to be the Scotland rugby coach!

    I can't remember who was worse. Robinson or Trundle?

    Can you imaging Trundle and Liam Dickinson up top with Robinson in the whole? Total football.

    We've made some right shockers... What ever happened to that Sorsa bloke?

    Yeah Ephraim... Didn't do alot. Lowry, Capaldi, Livermore, Mcsheffrey also. I'm sure if you tried hard enough you could make a loan XI for which we've splashed out needless pounds for.
