I'm not saying Robinson has been amazing but he's been a functioning player in a successful team. Lewis has been a complete flop from beginning to end.

 

I'm sure I remember Liverpool bidding for him prior to us getting him too, which would mean they could see something in him. They rarely miss in the market these days.

 

I agree though. I think he just looks terrified every time he's on the pitch.

Was it not that they were looking for a back up for Robertson and ended up with Tsimikas instead?

 

Speaking of Tsimikas he wouldn't be the worst signing for some left back competition.

I always saw Targett as a very solid defender, and useful, if somewhat limited going forwards. He doesn't add an extra dimension to your attack like the top tier full backs do. No idea about Robinson tbh, never pay much attention to other team's players until they are linked with us.

Oh aye I definitely don't suppose they'd have seen him to displace Robertson in the team but they must have saw something.

 

Then again, fair point re: Tsimikas, although their fans wanted him in the team at points last season.

Hard one. We were never disappointed with Targett but Howe kept him out very happily, so it will be very interesting to see what type of LB he wants. 

I can see why you think that looking how the season played out but EH did start with Targett and was never dropped. Just never got back in after injury until fit then was given a chance in the Cup and still didn’t look fit. Meanwhile Burn played his part in the club breaking all kind of club defensive records etc. Made sure he got a game time last couple of games of the season with the last one replacing Burn in his natural position.

Get a bit of defensive discipline into Robinson, get him drilled into our defensive lines and I think he could transform our left hand side. I really do like the look of him, all depends if we believe we can get him sorted defensively. I know that sounds a bit mad as he is a LB; he just seems a bit detached from the other defenders when I’ve watched him for Fulham.

Probably not defensively but there is things like his positioning when he doesn’t have the ball that Howe could work with quickly.

 

I also think Burn is better defensively than Tierney by the way.

 

He is very good at getting up and down the left hand side and carries the ball well, he also has recovery pace which we are crying out for and is comfortable in possession.

Newcastle are above signings like Robinson now.

 

Champions League, FFS.

Liverpool signed Robertson from recently relegated Hull when they made it back to the Champions League.

Remember seeing Robertson play for Hearts a couple of games and Hull against us in a cup tie (which we lost on penalties) and he stood out a mile with his desire, energy and attitude.

Robertson back then already looked better than Robinson ever has though. I get your point, but apple and pears.

So basically, he’s worst than Targett both defensively and technically? Interesting trade offs. 

Will say the only thing he is better at is moving up and down the pitch with pace and power.

Hasn't he been linked to City? I trust the club to have done their due diligence on any signing they make. I haven’t seen anywhere near enough to comment either way on him.
