Very good player but fairly injury prone.

Leverkusen have it seems already replaced Wirz with Ibrahim Maza from Herta Berlin for around ā¬12.5M.
One thing Robbo lacked in his armoury, was dribbling the ball to the by-line, before pulling the ball back across the goalā¦ note the difference here with Kerkez:
*Milos Kerkez is known for taking the ball to the byline before crossing. He is considered a major threat when crossing from near the byline, as seen in his assists against Everton and Manchester City. *
*For example, in a match against Manchester City, Kerkez beat Phil Foden for pace, reached the byline, and squared the ball for Semenyoās goal. *
He is also described as having a roughly even split between crossing from near the byline and crossing from further back

I think we will keep Robbo, sign Kerkez and sell Kostas. Kostas will have suitors as heās a solid player, and it will put some money in the bank.
I expect Robbo to stay and help make Kerkez even better. The younger man has a lot to his game, and especially his physical conditioning. But Robbo will bring even more out, while also giving the last of what heās got left in the tank, at an elite level.
In 1-2 years I expect Robbo to rock up at Celtic, hopefully with another Prem and CL in the bag. He has been an excellent left back for us, and I think heās got more to give, per above.

Yeah, hopefully Robbo will only have to play once a week or so, which should help him extend his career.

Tierneyās going back to Celtic on a free this summer so who knows if Robbo ends up there.

IMO, Robbo deserves a two year extension, if only based upon the fact he epitomises what we want from a footballer at LFCā¦
Before Jurgen, to say our team/club was disjointed would be a massive understatement - we have a grit and determination now that we never had beforeā¦
The attitude Robbo portrays is paramount to this - However, the guy himself needs to do some self-assessment, and recognise, his legs and inner engine are most certainly on the waneā¦ his role now, is to blood his own āmini-meā that signs for us

Sadly I think itās this kind of sentimentality that saw us hand out a new deal to Henderson when there were already signs of decline.
At best I think Iād look at Robbo getting a one year deal with an option for a second but only if we donāt think thereās a good enough option to replace him with next summer.
Itās why I wouldnāt be against a Hincapie, Hato or Inacio type CB this summer. Someone who could play LB or left sided centre back. Someone whoād mean weāre not forced into keeping Robbo, would give us chance to rest Virg and with a long term eye in succeeding him.

Depends if he wants to sit on the bench. Same for Robbo really. He can do a job just not how itās been though. His performance last week showed he is still a good player on a weeks rest.
We would have to buy a sub regardless if we sold him as Tsimikas is likely to go.

Noise about Kelleher and Leeds Utd, similar type of noise is surrounding Tsimikas going there alsoā¦ Ok Ok, silly season has started early, but it could be a good move if it happens.
At the end of the day, Tsimikas has never lit Anfield ablaze with his performances, but he has never let us down eitherā¦
Would be good to see him playing regularly, for a fanbase that would likely to take to himā¦

Whatās your view on Wharton 
Doubt we would be signing a 27 year old striker who hasnāt really done much at this level.
