The best option out there. Available for £30m and we need to be quick or he will go to Liverpool.

Doubt he's available for £30mil, figures I've heard is between £40mil-£50mil and that could be even more during the winter

Liverpool will go for a younger player, they have Robertson and Tsimikas, they will want someone significantly younger than those 2 which Robertson is not, like Kherez, Nouri or Hato

I'm going to get pelters for this but maybe we have to be creative in order to help teams give up a player. I would actually be happy to offer Rico in any deal to get a top proper fullback - we don't need Swiss army knife players at the moment. Rico still has high value and his wages are still not at the level that would put teams off - I know it is disappointing to lose youth players but our needs trump that at the moment. It would be brave from the club but it maybe where we are to get this team refreshed.

Arnie Slott will be all over replacing Robertson - they will be in for both so I think Tolm was referring to that.

On a further note - I know it's only Southampton but Robinson looks so good today and would be ideal to help Erling.

If the 30m is true thats a no brainer by the board.

Watching him today you can see a startling difference to our fullbacks - he is supporting attacks but when they lose possession he has the athletic ability to get back. Looks very strong and has a great cross on him too. We need this sort of player at the back. Walker no longer can get back when caught high up the pitch and Rico doesn't have that ability to pass on the run. Josko is the curious one because he is actually very strong but his confidence has all but gone. For me we need to make a call on him to be the centre back and stick to that. After all we brought him as one of the world's most promising centre backs. I really believe If we get two fullbacks who have the ability of a Robinson type it will help whoever plays centrally - whether it be Ruben, Manu or Josko.

Currently we get bugger all defensively from whoever plays fullback and none of them can overlap and supply Erling.

I disagree with you on Gvardiol.

If you make him part of the back 3 in possession you reveal hia biggrst weakness.

He is best used as an offensive fullback who also defends, like Robinson.

But.. this doesnt mean I dont want Robinson, buy him and rotate them (yay depth).

This simplifies the back 4 making the LB thr attacker and the RB more of a defender.

Gvardiol would pair well with Doku wide, where Gvardiol inverts more.

Robinson would probably pair well with Grealish overlapping him with Grealish inverting.
 
No way Fulham are letting go at this stage of the season either. Same with Kerkez (although he would be the better option).
