I can imagine they have a very high wage bill, covered by Parachute payments, but maybe they aren't in a brilliant shape financially. still they wouldn't sell to a rival. Actually we are fine financially. The vast majority of our players have relegation clauses. Bruce believes our squad is a Premier League squad and that, apart from a few tweaks here and there, it is a question of keeping that squad together.

We aren't even trying to unsettle Hull player, its just journalists linking us to every player in the division even though we aren't buying anyone else in this window.

If we go up and hull don't then I'd be tempted to make a bid to test the water. No disrespect to Derby County, but most people at our Club, and no doubt Robertson's advisors, know the potential he has and that he will be looking for a "Luke-Shaw-esque" progression as the next stage in his development. Not unreasonable given the fact that even at his young age he is already first choice for his country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Loblaw Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I actually rate him as the best left back in the league, but as others have said, highly unlikely that we are even interested at this stage. Sign him up when we go up and Hull don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Selling to your competition has never and will never make any sense. The only reason we got Tom Ince is because Hull dropped a ******* with a clause in the loan deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahalftimereport Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 As has been said, this is obviously a laughable made up rumour by some journo. We wouldn't sell to a rival and we certainly wouldn't sell for £7 million to anyone. Bruce said he wouldn't take less than £25 million when Arsenal were linked last January.

If we do you will be left in our slipstream. Steve is already looking hypertensive and I don't think the play offs would be good for his overall health.

I don't think Robbo is worth £25 million but to say that isn't actually incredibly stupid. It's essentially a hands off warning to say we've no interest in selling the player, and if one looks at the fees that were thrown about for the likes of Shaw, selling Robbo on the cheap would be mental. Bruce has responded to the speculation anyway, unsurprisingly he's confirmed it's ********. https://www.facebook.com/272031052913531/videos/858685384248092/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie20 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Don't for one minute think anyone this end believed it - could be his agent looking for a new contract or even angling for a nice to a bigger club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had Huddlestone, Davies, Elmohamady and now Robertson all linked with moves away, and there's been nothing in any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Andy Robertson is a decent enough left back, but there's a lot better options out there for £7million. In terms of ability, George Friend is miles ahead. In terms of potential, Obita is miles ahead in my opinion. I'd be made up if we signed Robertson, don't get me wrong, but for £7million I'd want a bit more. Friend is the only left back in this division capable of being spoken about in such terms.
