I guess there will always be players who's heads are turned when offers come in, and you can't blame them.

One of the objectives of the new Independent Football Regulator is "to protect and promote the financial resilience of English football as a whole, ensuring that systemic risks and structural issues like the distribution of revenue through the pyramid are managed appropriately", the poaching of young players by bigger clubs from smaller clubs is something he should look at. Clubs losing players they've developed should be properly compensated at the time, and maybe there should be a compulsory minimum % sell-on clause rule.
If Cardiff were to give the player a professional contract, does this mean that he can't be poached for a pittance, as at present?
Portsmouth are spending Ł1.2M on a Hungarian midfielder so not sure where this leaves any supposed interest in Robertson. I'm aware this is very flimsy transfer news but these are difficult times.
