sold Paul Robinson to Dons for 1.5 millions. I was thinking "oh well, we still need a few more sellings before we recoup as much as we got from Hamman alone last year" but then thought about how much we are paying these people. We are probably already saving about #80k a week from the sales/frees/terminations we've already made.

DONS SWOOP FOR ROBINSON

Wimbledon have signed Newcastle striker Paul Robinson for #1.5million.

The 21-year-old steps down to the First Division...Burton told his club's official website: "Paul came to Newcastle from Darlington and played 11 times last season alongside Shearer and Ferguson and will be a good buy for us.".

Wow, what a pedigree (11 times!?). He will not be missed!

Good business. And good riddance. Got fed up with him when he started moaning about being dropped by YBR instead of Shearer

I thought he was a good young player, but now he's gone he's become just another makem.
