Who will Robinson keep or let go

RadOx reported Faz will stay at least until end of this season. Also, interview on IPlayer and KR said he would lean on Faz to begin with, he'd be crazy not to, next few days he was here to look and learn, would like to bring in his own people at some stage, also Oxford had the look of an exceptionally well-run club...
 
Lots of players will be leaving, or At least I hope so.........
We still have a crop of good players at this level, unfortunately we do not seem to have many that could regularly feature in the league above unlike previous seasons so in many cases we may have to start again.
Players like Eastwood, Nelson, possibly Dickie, Mous (jury’s still out), Canice still needs moulding, Robbie hall (if he stays fit), Ledson, Rothwell and we haven’t seen Brannigan enough but he has potential, all can play at the top of this league and possibly in a higher league, The rest of the squad however on their day can produce but not often enough and consistency wins the day so unless Karl can work his magic i fear for 2/3rds of our current squad over the next 2 months or so.....

Robinson had some real talent at Charlton. Ezri Konsa, Naby Sarr , Jay Dasilva, Tariq Fosu-Henry,
Stephy Mavididi, Ahmed Kashi, Sullay Kaikai etc etc.

Hopefully one or two end up here!

Mark Marshall also looks very good but his contract expires in June 2019.
 
I’d hope that the likes of Ledson, Eastwood, Rothwell and Nelson were held onto. I think it will largely depend on whether they buy into KR and his approach.

I’d like to see us keep Richardinio, try to secure Kane and keep Dickie (his he ours?)

I’d be looking at moving the rest on. RE Hall he’s been a great player for us both when he first came with Wilder and second time round but I think he’ll be on the injury list more than start list.
 
If Ledson, Nelson and Rothwell stay, it won’t be anything to do with KR, or his plans. They all know their worth and know what money was being offered to them by Preston and Blackburn.

If they stay it will be an indicator of the depth of the owner’s pockets.

Dickie is our player. He was signed, for a fee, from Reading.
 
Robinson wanted Hall to sign a new contract at MK Dons, but they would only offer him a one year one due to his injury whereas we gambled and offered him two so he went with the security of our offer. Although he might of been pissed if at the time why would he now not want him and hold a grudge against him over a sensible decision? And why would Hall be that bothered about one comment in an interview from 18 plus months ago compared to playing again for the man who got him the best achievement of his career, getting promoted out of league one.

What went on is fairly standard for football, only the bitterest of people would hold a grudge about it, neither seem like that.
 
Wants the in demand players to give him a chance and 12 months to try and improve them and the club.

Eastwood
Nelson
Ledson
Rothwell
Hall
The ones that i feel this is aimed at, in the article he mentions Eastwood and Ledson.
 
I talked to a friend of mine who has followed Charlton for years and he said Charlton has been badly run for years. Lots of players leaving. He mentioned that they have eight goalkeepers do well and leave for other clubs. Lookman left for £11million. You could argue that it’s a good club to develop at but the money has not been reinvested.
I think Robinson wanted out because he wasn’t able to invest in the players he needed to get them up.
Charlton is a bigger club than us at the moment and many would argue should be in the championship.
Every time they get a player who is doing well they get sold on without a decent replacement.
Hopefully at Oxford we will have the structure in place so that we don’t stay a selling club, losing so many good players

Had a bad injury but has been back for 6 months so I guess he needs to start showing a bit of form again. I actually thought he was younger than 30 so yeah perhaps better to leave alone.

We will always be a selling club as virtually every club is. While we will still sell players, the difference to Charlton, is that I want to see reinvested in the squad again and tbf in January we have done that with Dickie and Brannagan signing.

Rothwell.

Build a team around them, and we will be solid challengers for a top two next season.

Add the likes of Kane - who I hope we sign on a permanent deal in the Summer - Dickie, Brannagan and the young lads coming through, you can see the nucleus for a good squad is in place. We just need to cut out the deadwood and replace with young hungry players that, hopefully, Robinson will
already have in mind.
 
Just as KR has asked to be given a chance for a year by the players, I hope he will do likewise and offer them a fair crack in the last 10 games. Will inevitably be lots of outgoings. The loanees you feel will all go back, including Kane if he has someone else in mind. Apart from that I agree with the two above posters. Still looking forward to seeing what Pekalski can do, but you'd think every one of Pep's signings will be on their way in May.

Nice guy and clearly a good player, but he’s 34 in September. He’s not going to improve nor get quicker in that time.

Playing in England may have a been a ‘bucket list’ item for him and we’ve given him that, but I wouldn’t be too disappointed if he moved on. On the caveat that we replace him with a young, promising left back/wing back of course.
