Robertson will be approaching 30 when we hopefully are ready to compete for a cup. Which is still productive. But your paying a huge premium for a player to help you right now.
All your doing is delaying things by acquiring Robertson. Directly by what you spend to acquire him. Indirectly by keeping you wedged in the murky middle.
If your not in a position to compete for a cup in the near future then you have no business giving up major assets for a player in his prime. Your paying for wasted years.

it depends on the acquisition cost.
If you can swap Rasmus for Robertson then you get a better and younger player.
That's a win.
I doubt that deal is on the table. But that was my premise.
All comes down to acquisition cost.
