    Default [Rumour] Robbo "Heading back to England "

    Take this for what it worth but I have a mailman buddy in Mississauga that delivers to there house and chats with the Robinson's quite frequently .

    He has been told that they are moving back to England for the January transfer window..

    This sucks !!!!

    They love it here but miss home very much is the word , all there family is over there..

    If true it is understandable but very unfortunate for us....

    Like any player coming in the form of "Player X to TFC?" I'll believe when I see it. No offense though. Honestly.

    Mo recently gave an empahtic statement that Robbo was coming back to TFC next season because he's under contract and the club are not looking to sell him. Now that could have been to drive up any transfer fee the club receives, I admit. And it may not stand up if the player himself (or his family) is desperate to go home. but until I see it confirmed for sure, I'm going to keep telling myself this is not true. Losing Robbo would be a hammer blow to our team.

    Unless we get de Guz in as a DP of course...

    Do mailmen find out when people move?

    I've never told my mailman when I have moved. I don't even think any of them have ever met me.

    I don't know whether or not to believe this. It still turned my stomach though.

    No offense to the OP, but I don't trust mailmen. Too many Newman's around!

    Hahahaha! Actually come to think of it, I've never met my mailperson (maybe a man or woman).

    The post office would now if you tell them to forward the mail to the new address. But it would seem to early for that, and as far as meeting the mailman, I guess it is possible if he was at home during the day, but I think most of Mississauga has those mailboxes at the end of the block system.

    Mailmen actually find out a lot of info on a regular basis ..
    Its home delivery ..Not the box deal..

    so does Carl just hang out watering the roses bushes? Is he that bored?
    Or maybe Mrs. Robinson is a bored housewife? Have his kids learned to talk?


    ^ note..... that's all bullshit speculation, and I have a feeling the OP is too.
    no offense, but professional athletes knows you don't talk about contract
    sensitive information with random people. I don't care how chatty you
    are with the mailman, or the kid who bags your groceries....
    That's not the kind of info you let slip unless it's part of some scheme.

    ^ Right on the money. I cannot believe this is starting so early. We already had Dell Piero, Henry, and Robbo leaving on the word of a mailman. We need to keep a tab. To laugh at once the seasons starts.

    He was also heading back to England last off season to go on a few months loan with Norwich City until he bashed up his leg in a Welsh National Team game. I'm not too worried about Robbo...he'll be back, he owes me a coffee.

    I'm honestly keeping a spreadsheet for each rumour.

    He's been in England (I think his family lives in Hereford?) since the season's end, and I doubt that he made the decision to go back to England before the season was over.

    I hope you do, and then you should post it when the season starts. It will be even funnier/sadder in hind sight.

    This is hard to take. Now we need 2 DP's. Robbo is our rock. For those that dont like or appreciate him, you will see how much we will miss him on the field if he isn't replaced.
    I don't blame him though. Classy guy.Best of luck to him. Wonder where he's going?
    My guess......Cardiff.

    ok...lets be VERY realistic
    im just playing devils advocate......

    1 - Mississuaga mail is rarely distributed to the home and int he years i lived there was a roatation of them and rarely did i see the regular one in my area which was close to Mississauga rd
    2 - isnt Robbo back in England now?
    3 - Not to say anything negative but when a user with 39 posts a rumour like this its hard to believe it
    4 - ITS THE OFFSEASON

    I honestly have one going. Before this I only had Del Piero, Henry and DeRo on it. If you have anymore you've seen that I missed let me know!

    Seeing as I started the rumour, I'll make a quite caveat here:

    I never suggested that DeGuz was on his way to Toronto - only that he was one of the clubs DP targets and that there had been ongoing discussions to bring him to TFC.

    I'm taking this rumor as nothing more then that, but if Robbo doesn't come back to the team....it will be a crushing blow.
