Player Andy Robertson

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Really like this signing. For a stopgap player, Robertson’s about as good as it gets.

He gives us a year or two to see if Udogie can ever be relied on, and sends a clear message: if you’re not contributing positively, for whatever reason, you’ll get upgraded—even if it’s just an older player for now.

It also frees Spence to properly rotate (fight for a starting spot?) with Porro, rather than being the guy we turn to in desperation to plug any holes.

This one signing could fix multiple issues, and that’s before even thinking about how his experience could help others develop their game or potentially how good we could be with 3 at the back and Robertson / Porro / Udogie / Spence doing wingback work.
 
I’ve just looked up Robertson’s squad number history. He wore number 26 at all of his previous clubs, but, curiously, despite 26 being available at Spurs, he has not yet been assigned a squad number.
