No one mentioned Robinson in this thread at all until he was on TV this morning, so I've no reason to think we're going back for him.
In June 2021 when we were first linked, he was 23 and just had an OK first season in the PL, he could have been someone who developed late and for £10m when we already had 2 leftbacks it would be a minimal risk punt. In the end they seemed to have not gone for it.
In August 2022 he's 25, didn't back up being in the Premier League with an outstanding season in the Championship, Fulham don't need money and won't want to sell so he'll cost probably 25-30m and our needs have completely changed because we've only got 1 LB option.
Sergio Gomez last year was a very promising Spanish 20 year old youth international who'd not quite hit the ground running after a move to Dortmund, he was a team mate of Torres' and played well in big youth international finals vs. Foden, you can see why we'd be interested. Then he had a breakthrough season at LB under Kompany, has a €15m buyout clause and is still only 21 so there's a reason to go back.
The only LB signing that makes sense is a world class, 1st choice at the position player. We have part time LBs in Aké and Laporte, we have promising kids.
I don't see any 1st choice LBs on the market so I don't see us signing anyone.

The price is €20-€25m apparantly.
