Antonee Robinson - Everton

Signing today?

I’ve just googled him, he’s an international for the USA and was on loan at Bolton last year, notching up 30 appearances. If we do sign him, we really do mean business!

Made two appearances for the USA national team.

Kind of explains the Antonee a little me thinks.

He adds an e to the end of his name for each appearance?

He can't be, he's being shown round the Reading training ground.

Cheers for the insight, but even calling what he’s got relative fame is a joke. He’s about as famous as I was as a secondary school teacher: a few locals know of him and spot him when he’s out. He’s an absolute nobody and needs to realise that.

Fame probably wasn’t the right word maybe he believes he has made it already he does have some of the footballer trappings nice car girlfriend etc ( these are not exclusive to footballers).

In his group he will be a bit looked up to as a pro footballer rightly or wrongly.

Robinson is pals with Sambou and a few lads from our u23's so probably is him. I also heard Brandon Mason a while back but would assume it's one or the other.

Got ya, thought you meant he was like a few of our previous kids swagging around VIP rooms asking “Don’t you know who I am?” Rather than he’s got a hire purchase Focus and a missus with big tits.

Though if he’s on more than about £25k a year someone at the club needs shooting.

Robinson is still an Everton player until June next year, had a reasonably successful loan spell in the Championship last season and has played two games for the US senior team, including in a 1-1 draw with France last month. Why would he come here on a free transfer and why would Everton let hm go?

He is, hanging around with a bad crowd and drink driving isn't advised though.

Not going to defend anyone who drinks & drives but I think he’s got talent otherwise the likes of Stoke wouldn’t have been after him last summer

You say that, but had he gone to Stoke, say, then there'd have been a sizeable proportion of our fans who'd have been slating our paymasters for not investing in our youth, and not showing any ambition in letting a future England international go to a top flight team.

Because we are Coventry City and are the best team in the world?

I will be extremely disappointed If this lad throws it away ,he has all the attributes to be a top top LB.
I'm not delving into hyperbole when seeing him at 16 I was immediately struck by the similarity to Stuart Pearce both tenacity ,physuicality and that wand of a left foot.

He’s had less impact than the social media bod on £18k is all I’m saying.

I must admit I wouldn’t know him if he sat next to me in a pub. I’ve no idea who he is.

I heard a rumour this morning that Stokes is off to Bury and we will sign a left back, but none of the ones listed in previous posts is the name I was told.

No-one knows who you are Robbo (aside to audience "he's the one with drum") Do give us the name....

On a free transfer presumably? Would make sense as one to develop behind Junior Brown.

Not played much first team football so wondering if he is a replacement for camwell rather than stokes.

The Stoke interest never existed, did it?
