Robertson

As I said in the other thread, he's still very young, probably just managing his workload.

 

Strachan is a genius, keeping him fresh for Saturday.

 

Any reports of him being injured or is he good to go on Saturday?

 

He isn't injured, Strachan left him out for tactical reasons. Easy to see why; Robertson is immense going forward but he does still need a touch of improvement on his defensive game and against a team that's fresh from beating the world champions 2-0, Gordon's obviously gone for a more experienced head to plug the line.

 

Yes we would have a modern day right back on our books........only he'd be playing on the left.

 

As long as we want. He has a long way to go before he is ready for the big boys if at all.

He needs to work on the defending side of things for starters and his error @ Newcastle will have been noted.

Let the kid develope first.

There was a reason why Strachan benched him for the Scotland game in Poland as another example.

 

He would be thinking of his assist bonus John.

Agreed John. Not a chance of Robbo going anytime soon for a variety of reasons. Sadly the modern day fan thinks otherwise after a few games of anyone who starts well.

If Robbo keeps improving then January 2016 may just get more interesting.

Brucie had a word before like.

 

Arsenal to bid £10mil in today's Sun.

 

They can jog off.

Though as it is from The Sun, it's pretty much bullshit.

 

Was always going to happen with his current rise in the game, would imagine that if his current form continue he'll be linked with a lot more of the so called "big boys" SB needs to keep him grounded, but to be fair he does appears to have his head screwed on the right way.

 

Double it.


And add a bit.

 

Didn't that other kid that Dundee sold to Sporting Lisbon get an immense release clause in his deal? We should do the same. Sure it was round the £40m mark or something

 

Yeah and he hasn't even made the first team.

 

Sounds bullshit.

 

Also mentioned by Burnsey and agreed that there tracking him

 

As good as he is, he was definitely at fault for the first goal with his wayward header. I was sat amongst the Arsenal fans in the corporates and they were really impressed with him.

 

He'll sit on the side-lines. That'll improve him, no end.

 

I agree Stan, Robbo has his head screwed on, and he will know at this stage of his career he needs games, not warming the bench.

 

He's definitely a wing-back and not a left-back. Perfectly suited for an Arsenal type side. Given the over-inflated prices in today's market, I'd not let him go for less than £12m. Obviously he's not really worth much more than half of that amount, but don't tell Arsene I said that.

 

Regardless of where he goes in time, we need to unearth one or two of these every season to progress. Being brave and bringing through a couple of younger players and selling for top dollar should be our business plan for the next 3-4 seasons
