Robins frustrated in Robinson bid

Swindon appear to have lost out in their bid to sign Watford striker Theo Robinson.

Town boss Danny Wilson had previously announced a verbal agreement was in place to land the youngster, but he is now expected to move to League One rivals Huddersfield - much to the annoyance of chairman Andrew Fitton.

"I don't think it is going to happen now," Fitton told the Swindon Advertiser.

"We seem to have hit a problem which we are very upset about. We agreed a deal with the club and player but there are shenanigans going on that we have warned certain people about. This is a classic example of agents and greed."

Robinson had been away on holiday and Town were sure they would complete the deal on his return.

But Wilson added: "It's been long drawn out and more frustrating than anything. We have an agreement with Watford, but whether I'm hopeful or not - I'll wait and see."
