I’m sure Robins and the coaching staff are always looking at players and where they best fit the particular style and what other players are available. Dabo’s strengths particularly fit the wing back role. If we revert to full backs Robins may think some of those strengths negated and change his position (if Dacosta/Pask or whoever fit the bill for fullback)
I remember n the 70s arsenal striker Ray Kennedy being transferred to Liverpool...not playing for a while and then coming back as a defender and midfielder. He was good enough to win honours with both clubs.

Ordinarily I'd agree, but if you're having to play a rookie who'll undoubtedly be nervous playing them out of position is just going to make it worse and the opposition will focus on that weakness. You're only as good as your weakest link.

In those circumstances I'd rather see a more experienced player moved slightly with the youngster playing their preferred position. Rather two small cuts than have an arm hacked off.

Not so far
Would think we are looking at one or two but the best guys will be in demand so I suspect any talks would mainly be via player's agents initially

I reckon the Sheaf ones going to go through, I felt like that’s why the Westbrooke saga went ahead quite quickly.

Ain’t a flying chance he’s going to Wycombe! More chance of this rumour being true! (What a nobjockey I’d look like if he actually does go there as some sort of charity work!)

Happier with Tyler Walker. Fits our model better, someone with room to improve.

Proven to have scored around about 25 league since the 2016/17 season?

Yep, different players. Martin is proven as an average Championship striker. He's not going to get any better, resale value would be minimal. He's 4 years removed from his last 15 goal season, although 11 last year wasn't bad. The 3 prior to that weren't great though. Not a bad player at all, but at 31 don't think he would be right for us.

Walker is 23. Has scored 1 in 2 the last 2 years, albeit at a lower level. Was good enough last year that Forest brought him back as cover for the second half of the season. Forest fans seem to rate him. If he does well with us in the Championship could increase his value 10-fold.
