I think he\u2019s exactly the type of player Chelsea needs or is crying out for.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith one or two more experienced players, they\u2019ve got to give themselves a chance. I don\u2019t think the way the team is put together, they give themselves a chance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAndy Robertson, I\u2019d take him at Chelsea in a heartbeat if he was
