One swallow doth not a season maketh.
Though a single swallow doth my summer holidays maketh back in 1988.
I suspect Hamilton could be a cut-price replacement for Robinson, should the latter leave. He is raw but filled with pace, has a good left peg on him and isn't afraid to shoot across goal on his weaker right.
Raw, with potential, athletic but inconsistent: cogito ergo about the best we can hope for. His crossing isn't bad and he tends to look up before sending it over which is always a bonus these days.
He's a long way behind Robinson in his current incarnation, as are/were most of our incomings over the years. Signing the real deal is way beyond us - something we thrive off with our developed players cherry-picked by the big boys.
I suppose we'll wait and see, but it would not be a huge surprise to go for Hamilton, nor disappointing. Of course, I'd rather keep Robinson and have CJ as a sub or backup. But that's probably a pipe dream unless we go all guns blazing for once.
The positive is that we are spreading our net far and wide and looking for youngsters with talent: with the glorious, unheralded Woods Manifesto reaching its glorious zenith.
