Insider.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/footballinsider247.com\/tag\/chris-wilder\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chris Wilder<\/a> is pushing hard to take the 32-year-old back to Bramall Lane in the new year on loan from their Championship rivals.<\/p>\n<p>Robinson departed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footballinsider247.com\/tag\/sheffield-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sheffield United<\/a> at the end of the summer window after making 162 appearances in his five years at the club.<\/p>\n<p>The centre-back has struggled for game-time so far in the Second City, however, that has alerted his former club ahead of January.<\/p>\n<p>Sheffield United want Robinson on loan after tough start to life at Birmingham<\/p>\n<p><a

Premier League in both 2021 and 2023, playing a bigger part in the latter campaign.<\/p>\n<p>He featured 38 times in all competitions last season after being named club captain by Wilder, but became a divisive figure among fans after some shaky performances towards the end of the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES<\/p>\n<p>The 32-year-old signed a two-year deal with Blues on deadline day, but has only played eight times across league and cup games so far.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Robinson\u2019s last start for Chris Davies\u2019 side resulted in him being sent-off for a second bookable offence against Hull City on 18 October, with Phil Neumann now the manager\u2019s preferred option next to Christoph Klarer at centre-back.<\/p>\n<p>United could lose Jairo Reidewald in the January

key part of their improvements on the pitch.<\/p>\n<p>The ex-Crystal Palace star has started their last five games and played well, with <strong>Football Insider <\/strong>recently revealing that <a

numerous Championship clubs<\/a> as his short-term United contract expires in the new year.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple clubs from Europe are also believed to be eyeing the 29-year-old\u2019s services, but Wilder is keen to tie him down to a longer deal, so he could be linking up with Robinson if that happens and he re-joins the club soon.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Credit:
