“Stellar business”, “Very, very decent” – Fans welcome Andrew Robertson to Liverpool
Liverpool’s most unassuming signing of the summer, Andrew Robertson’s £8 million move to Merseyside has largely been welcomed by supporters.
The Reds announced Robertson’s arrival on Friday afternoon, with the 23-year-old making the switch from recently relegated Hull City and Kevin Stewart going the other way.
Robertson will wear the No. 26 shirt, and will link up with his new team-mates on their return to Melwood at the start of next week, as pre-season continues.
While names such as Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Naby Keita have hogged the headlines this summer, Robertson’s move to Anfield represents shrewd business by the Reds.
And as the Scotland international put pen to paper, this was reflected by fans on social media.
Andy Robertson to hopefully follow in the footsteps of John-Arne Riise
An initial £8m rising to £10m deal for Andy Robertson is stellar business, especially as #LFC will get almost as much for Kevin Stewart— Melissa Reddy (@MelissaReddy_) July 19, 2017
Welcome to Liverpool, Andrew Robertson. Not overwhelmed with the move, but if it works out like Finnan did, then £8m is a fantastic steal.— Dharma Bhagalia (@Kloppholic) July 19, 2017
Excited for Robertson, good signing imo— Cam (@salahiino) July 21, 2017
Delighted with Robertson. A left back with a left foot and pace. Magic.— LFC Glasgow (@KloppstimeLFC) July 21, 2017
Robertson is a very very decent signing!— Patrick Masterson (@Master_P_7) July 21, 2017
#lfc Robertson and Stewart in what practically amounts to a swap deal with Hull City. Well played Edwards.— Mario Aquilina (@mario_aquilina) July 19, 2017
Good business on Robertson if we've got 8 million on Kevin Stewart
Hopefully 1. First choice 2. Works on his defence 3. Carries on with his impressive attacking. #lfc #robertson pic.twitter.com/kpUEOQdrRR— LFCZA ?? (@LFCZA) July 21, 2017
Thank you! Can we talk about Robertson to death now? I don't want to hear the names "Keita" or "Van Dijk" again unless at Anfield ? #LFC— Emma Sanders (@em_sandy) July 21, 2017
Happy with Robertson. Time to end LFC's string of unconvincing LBs who are either dim, fond of aimless crosses or firing shots into the Kop.— Henry Jackson (@HenryJackson87) July 21, 2017
Robertson has some breathing space, no real fee or expectation, hope he does really well— TheyCallMeIgor (@NoIdentityFound) July 21, 2017
Karius, Clyne, Matip, Lovren, Robertson, Hendo, Lallana, Coutinho, Mane, Salah, Firmino.
To start the season as we stand, decent team.— Scott Richardson (@scott5richo) July 21, 2017
Klopp has brought in two left footers in Salah & Robertson ?Can't underestimate the importance of having such players in your team ?— Anything Liverpool (@AnythingLFC_) July 18, 2017
