da 888casino： Sheffield United’s summer will be a fascinating one to oversee.
da bet nacional： If they make the Champions League they will need some big-name signings in order to compete. Impressive acquisitions will also have to be made if they reach the Europa League.
Either way, some sort of strengthening will need to take place if Chris Wilder’s men want to establish themselves in the top-flight.
But they may face a huge dilemma with one player in a classic case of sell or keep.
On the chalkboard
One of the biggest dilemmas facing Wilder over the summer months could be the future of Callum Robinson.
Signed for £7m last summer after an impressive season where he netted 12 times for Preston, the winger failed to really get going in Yorkshire.
A solitary goal in the Premier League followed before he was loaned out to West Bromwich Albion in the Championship.
Robinson has since thrived after making the temporary switch to the Hawthorns. He scored his first goal for the club last weekend, earning the Man of the Match award in the process.
He’s also taken a colossal 4.8 shots per game, a tally that has increased from only 0.8 in the top-flight.
The dilemma
Robinson is clearly an individual with talent but he looks as though he could be the classic type of player who performs consistently well in the second division but struggles in the Premier League.
We’ve seen a host of examples in recent years. Dwight Gayle is the chief conductor of this, scoring 24 goals last season for West Brom before failing to find the net this term. Matej Vydra is another culprit. He’s scored 65 Championship strikes but only has five at a higher level.
Therefore, do the Blades immediately begin to wonder whether they should cash in? At the age of 25, Robinson is approaching the prime of his career so it might be wise to keep him at the club.
For away day veterans only: Can you name all of these defunct stadiums?
However, for £7m, you’d expect more than just a solitary Premier League strike. A victim of a system that doesn’t play wingers, Robinson has been cast aside on a temporary basis.
Once he returns to Bramall Lane in the summer, there will be a decision to be had. Does he stay and fight for his place or do Sheffield United ship him on permanently?
Failing that, a further loan spell could be on the cards. Either way, it’ll be interesting to see what happens in the next few months of Robinson’s career.
