Transfers Andy Robertson

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

On paper it’s brilliant signing.

Talented and experienced but it will mean fuck all of his legs are gone. Hopefully his body has 2-3 years of prem level left and he will great for us. If he has gone through what Son went through his impact will be limited.
I’m sure he’s quite capable as is Senesi but at 32 & 29 they’re experienced I get that but I thought we we’re building a team that might challenge at least get into the top 6 both players especially Robertson are not getting us through a full season!
 
Haven’t watching him enough but that would be alarming if true. Do you mean a slight slow down or full on.

Slow down. He’s not totally done but he’s nowhere near as dynamic as he was.

His whole game is energy. He’s a 32 year old workhorse fullback. I don’t think it’s a terrible signing (he’s clearly better than what we have) but anyone expecting him to come here and be anything like his peak is deluding themselves.

He assisted all of one goal in the league last season.

To be fair his terrace chant is an absolute banger...

Legs are gone for a 38 game season

He’s probably still able to do it every couple of weeks or cup games

If this were true they’d have used him like that.

He’s just not fast anymore. He was never rapid but he had enough. And he just can’t get up and down like he used to.

He’s a fine signing as depth as someone who isn’t injured a massive amount. We needed it. But I’m expecting the Robertson of last season, not the peak.
 
Building a connection with the fans is actually important as we saw this season. They train for what 4 hours a day? They have plenty of time.
You categorically do not 'build a connection ' with the fans playing stick the tail on the donkey or name the fruit in a blindfold with some daft bint on socials. Or player interviews.

This media drivel is not what unites football fans. That's forged in effort and commitment and results away at Newcastle in November when the your fans never stop singing. This is actually part of our lost identity the media driven idea that this is how it works its writ large by people who dont understand football or the fans. Just that theres money in AFTV. Less talk way more serious focus on the football the ticketing the allocation of singers in the stadium subsidised transport, deals on food and drink, lower pricing for minors and seniors.With respect Its got fuckall to with content on social media.

Having a left footed player as rotation for left back alone would improve us tbf.

Maybe

I think Slot had to pick Kerkez because they’d invested big that summer

If that’s the case then he’s as bad a signing as everyone thinks he is.

If he’s in the Ben Davies role that’s fine. I bet he isn’t thinking that way though.

You’re old, Unc. The vast majority of young people connect through content. That’s just the way of the world at this time. Obviosuly the frivolous stuff is what it is, but Maddison’s recovery videos and tour diaries gave me a greater understanding of squad dynamics than any pundit or journalist ever will.

Im amazed that all 3 statements talked about rebuilds but first signing we make is a 32 yr old freebie who is well past his sell by date.
 
Be a terrible signing more than likely. He’s always been someone that has relied on his physical attributes, such as his engine. If the tank is almost empty it will be the most pointless signing ever. Though he would be good for the dressing room at least. But then so would I, and I don’t see any contract being waved at me.
