Not sure... feels more like he's running on empty and can cruise at the THFC Country Club for 2 years on big money. Would rather buy hungry players who are not in decline.
He doesn't seem to be the personality that will be happy cruising. Captain of Scotland and a real leader at pool, they generally aren't the roles a lad gets who will be happy with splinters on his arse for us IMO
 
I've suggested Anthonee Robinson many a time. Which fits your criteria.

I just don't think this particular signing isn't anything to cry over as a free squad player.

We aren't in Europe next season so hopefully injuries will improve naturally.

I’m a fan of him.

I think the issue is the club has used up good will. If we were in a healthy place with a healthy developing Udogie and the rationale was a bit of experience and cover then the fans would be happy.

When we are in our current state the groans are totally reasonable imo. This guy really struggles physically in the league and that will only get worse. I don’t know what wage he would want but I doubt it’s pennies.

Fully accept he's a high character guy but what does he have left to prove? Nothing really so I'm not entirely sure what his motivation will be. Where he would give 100% for the bin dippers week in week out, he will probably be on 98% for us which might not sound like a lot but it's the odd 50/50 he doesn't go in hard for or the full sprint to get back and clear one off the line... There is a reason the bin dippers are fine with him moving on and are not trying to extend him for a season or two. They have better and we should be buying better.
 

Anyone actually seen this bloke who can offer some insight into what he's like?
 
One free signing does not a strategy make.

Maybe we should continue the strategy of wasting time chasing players way out of our manor, like Semenyo and Eze.

I hear Nuno Mendes is desperate to join us from PSG.

Perhaps we need to stop being lazy and make signings that would push the team on and push the needle, Robertson doesn't do any of these things whatsoever.

This club just doesn't learn and seemingly neither does this fanbase.

We weren't even expecting a signing.

Then we get one and people are moaning about it.

If this was a latter end of August signing stinking of panic I'd be furious. But it's just a decent experienced squad player for free.

Nothing to get our knickers in a twist about.

We tried to buy him in Jan, we moaned about it then for the same reason we moaned about it now, in fact in Jan you could probably understand it because of the situation we were in but what is the point of signing him now? The guy is washed, doesn't even fit how the manager plays and he's going to be on a high wage which means he's not going to be easy to get rid of, an absolutely pointless signing, just like Gallagher was.
