Following the news Tottenham have opened talks with Liverpool in a bid to sign left-back Andy Robertson, we asked for your views on situation and whether it would be good business.
Here are some of your comments:
Lee: No is the simple answer. After the start we have had, the last thing Liverpool need to do is get rid of a defender. How about adding someone first before we sell one? We need to keep hold of these types of players who have won leagues and Champions Leagues to show the young players what it takes to be a Liverpool player.
Jon: Robertson has been a loyal servant for Liverpool since he arrived at Anfield. However, the World Cup is looming and being the captain of Scotland means he needs the game time, so let him go.
Gordon: Shouldn’t even consider letting him go this season. Come the summer, if he wants more game time then we should respect his decision and let him go.
Chris: Robbo is still an important part of the squad, but I understand why he might want to go elsewhere with the World Cup coming up in summer. If he can get a starting berth at Spurs then he goes with my blessing. If he can’t, then sitting on the bench at Spurs is definitely worse than sitting on the bench at Anfield.
Gerado: If Robbo does go then Liverpool will be saying goodbye to its finest left back since Alan Kennedy. I can’t imagine he will want to sit on Spurs’ bench so he must be expecting a place in their line up. It would be hard to imagine that Liverpool haven’t got a replacement lined up.
Jane: We need to keep him as a back-up, but most of all he is a great leader and this team needs that.
Rooks: Easy no! Firstly, he’s a legend. Secondly, he’s still a decent squad player and it’s not like he’s fallen off a cliff. Thirdly, if we let him go it leaves us with one left back or the option to recall Kostas Tsimikas from Roma – which makes no sense to me. Only way I’d be happy with this is if he personally really wants to leave to play more. Then I’d have no issue because he deserves it for his impeccable service. Whatever happens, he is a Liverpool legend.
Balvinder: Definitely not a good idea! He’s still a great right back and can hold his own against Milos Kerkez. Plus, as one of the senior leaders in the team, it would be a huge loss of experience, knowledge and personality.
