      First linked in 2013... they've played the long game to get him here. I have a feeling the wait may have been worth it. Good luck Andy.

      Jackson said: ā€œThe Premier League is definitely his level. Iā€™m sceptical on whether Liverpool is his level. I donā€™t think heā€™s the type of signing Liverpool fans want. Heā€™s a good player but Iā€™m not sure heā€™s Champions League standard. He is more a mid-table Premier League player.ā€

      The player can be ā€œfairly rashā€ and ā€œdive into tacklesā€, according to Jackson.
      In an assessment which will not thrill Liverpool supporters, the writer compared Robertson to Liverpool full-back Alberto Moreno in terms of their defensive abilities.

      I suspect Milner will start LB for us and Robertson and Moreno will fight for a spot on the bench. It has to be a squad addition. Any hopes of more is optiomistic.

      haha very clever. :roll: i honestly have no hard feelings against people who are happy about Robertson so I don't understand those who are hostile about me  being disappointed with this signing. No point in beating a dead horse about it anymore. A reluctant welcome and I hope to be proved wrong.

      Good to see we've finally got a left-footed left-back.

      All the best Andy, give your best for the shirt and you won't go far wrong.

      Pace, skill, strength, game intelligence, and a left boot, this lad has all the tools to be a top LB for us.

      Welcome Andy!

      YNWA

      A left footed  left back .

      At last !



      A big welcome from the Liverpool Family.

      This fella has it all except a fancy european or south american name. Bargain in this summers market.

      Robertson ?

      Hows about we nickname him Roberto .....   after the best left back  that has ever played the game.

      That would be nice Billy ... but no.   Not our very own Gerry , the hero of the 65 Final.


      Roberto Carlos   of Brazil.

      The ultimate left back with a shot like an Exocet .




      He of " The Impossible Goal"  scored from the goal line .

      So City sign Mendy and Danilo, two amazing full backs who can play on the left. Don't worry, we got Robertson. Mendy on the left and Danilo on right is mouthwatering for them.

      Was just meant as a joke Riba, I do think you are being way to negative towards a player you haven't seen playing for us yet though

      plenty of occasions in the past where some 'vanilla' 'unexciting' signing has performed far better than some expensive young foreign lad. who really cares who city have at fullback, we beat them most times we play them don't we? beat them with Milner at LB..?

      This is a terrible signing. I don't know what we were thinking. Bottom of the barrel LB doesn't solve our problems. I wonder why Robertson was so easy to sign :roll:

      Talking of bottom of the barrel......

      Milner is a really good player in my opinion.

      Genuine question here considering he's been linked with the club aince 2013....

      Why didn't we sign him last summer? Even in January where Hull were offloading their key players at the time. Why did we have to rely on Milner alone?

      We were told that the reason we didn't sign a left back last season was because we were waiting for a quality one to become available.

      Do we not think we could habe prized him away from Hull last season? Was Robertson unlikely to come with no champions league football or something? 

      As far as i'm concerned an 8 million Ā£ move would have been on the cards for the last 2 seasons if we had wanted then to persue it.

      Now he's here it seems to have been an error of judgement on somebodies account for not getting him in sooner.

      He is a real comittee signing I think. Maybe now at 23 they couldn't hold their load any longer on him.

      I guess we are about to see if the numbers in their app add up in real life.

      I checked and he can pass, dribble and makes a few key passes. Doesn't tackle well or win 50 50 headers. Probably because he is not really very tall. Probably why people said he is like Moreno in terms of ability.
