sushimonster85 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Given I doubt he'd cost over 30m, Robinson would be a great signing. Already the business going forward, think we would come on leaps and bounds under our coaching team. Has some much needed pace to add to the back line as well.

Ikon Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 (edited) No point in signing players of that quality. Either go high high quality or very promising younger players. Edited June 20, 2023 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I think if we've made Burn into a decent left back we could potentially make a very good one out of Robinson. Of course everyone prefers elite signings, but I guess it depends on the priorities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Robinson has amazing energy and is excellent going forward, I echo the sentiments on him as a defender though. I just look at a player like him and imagine what Howe could do with him. He wouldn't be my number 1 choice but he's a good player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis was rated before he came here, he’s pacy and has similar qualities why didn’t Howe focus on him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I’ve seen Robinson he’s looked better going forward than Lewis and worse defending than Lewis. Any improvement overall is marginal which is why I added arguably. If we are assuming we would get no more than £5-10m for Lewis then with a tight budget IMO you’d be wasting the extra £20-25m of it to swap them. Targett is also better than both and age wise coming into his prime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt1892 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Robinson has matured and completely turned his career around at Fulham, he is coming off the back of an excellent season and a good showing in the World Cup. Howe will make him even better but I think he might end up at Man City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I don't know why people are bringing up Lewis, but I think it's fair to ask does Robinson really provide enough of a difference on 2022 Targett? (I'm assuming he was just woefully out of form this past season due to injuries) Now that I think about it I haven't seen many mentions of selling him, but not sure why we'd keep Targett around if we brought in a new LB.

Ameritoon Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 He was great recently against Mexico and Canada, both going forward and defending. He has all the attributes to be CL-level left back so I'd trust Howe to get the best out of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He started almost every game for Fulham who had a very good season (I think). I’ll take your word for it as going off a a very small sample size for both. Just going off the two games I attended against Fulham and the couple of games I watched them. Arsenal in particular he was embarrassing in his defending and I’m rarely that critical of any player as you know. Lewis after picking up another injury looks done here unfortunately as can’t stay fit long enough to repay the club in any shape of what was a sizeable fee. Shame for him as EH got a couple of decent games out of him but hasn’t been fit since. So hopefully Robinson would be fitter so that would be a major plus ?
