Robinson Keen On Villa Move

Hasn't this already been front paged? Robinson ain't good enough we need Boruc, basically.

Was never a bad goalkeeper imo. Made a few mistakes, had a dip in form just like every other goal keeper out there. Worth a punt at 5mil, and def can't be worse than carson.

Robbo is a local hero in my home town and well liked but all who know him, a nice lad and good keeper, get him signed. Boruc - £15mil, Carson £10mil and Robbo £5mil. Give me Robbo, and get that Guzan we keep hearing about!!

abc!!!

All you Boruc fans, did you watch his games for Celtic this season? He made only slightly less howlers than Robinson, but the Bhoys still love him? Go figure

Robbo is worth a £5 Million pound punt! That Gordon guy of sunderland we looked at earlier in the season ended up being very average and to think we offered £8 million plus..........shocking!

I can not believe we are even having this debate. Robinson has a good kick and errrr that is it. His ability to dive for shots straight at him and make them look like good saves is remarkable. However when he genuinely has to dive, he usually gets no where near it, and the only times he does, the ball gets parried straight back into danger. He can not command his defence. His command of his box on free kicks and crosses is that of a Sunday league player. It is nothing to do with confidence, he is woeful even when playing at the top of his own very low standards. He was truly awful at Leeds, but brilliantly well marketed by the club and his agent, to ensure Leeds got top dollar during their firesale. Have a look at the 6 goals Spuds conceded against us last season (might as well look at the other 60 odd goals as well + God knows how many in the the previous 2 seasons) and then say you would welcome Robinson in goal for us. I think not. If he wasn't dropping crosses, he wasn't coming for them. His command and positioning of his defence for free kicks was not even Sunday League standard. He is truly awful. 25 of the goals conceeded by Spuds last season would have been saved by almost every other keeper in the Pemier League. We are all entitled to opinions but I am certain those that like Robinson have not studied the goals conceded by Spuds since his arrival. He was unfortunate with the miskick against Croatia (it could have happened to any keeper) but since then the spotlight has been on him and he has proved beyond doubt, that he is not up to the task as a Premier League keeper, let alone international one. Signing Robinson will hold this club back for years. We should not be going for the goalkeeping cast off for a club that concedes as many goals as Spuds have since he has been in goal. We should be forcing the hand of a club who doesn't want to lose their keeper, in the same way that Redscouse are doing with us with Barry. Foster, Boruc and Friedel should all be on M'ON's wish list. The only wish list that Robinson should be on is ours and that means wishing he doesn't get any where near our club. We are all doooooooomed I tell you, if he does.

Wish TuBBz was around, I'd love to know who he wants as goalkeeper, don't think I've seen any mention of it from him! :o)

Agree Eircol, he is being written off for some blunders but he is a good keeper, far better than Carson (which isn't a major shock, Carson is only really just starting and hasn't the experience)

Just a rumour before i get slaughtered...

abc! lol

Lets get him, I remember going to wembley, losing because of calamity james and joining the get rid of calamity club, time has moved on and so did james, wish he was still with us now, keepers tend to get better with age, robinson will come into his prime in the next two years and I hope its with us. O'neill will get him back in the national side too.

Come on robbo join in the fun down at villa park.

voiceoftheholte has summed up exactly what I have been saying all season. He IS the reason why Spurs concede so many goals. 5 million for him, while we get Gomes from PSV is top business considering we only paid 7million for Gomes. Unfortunatley Robinson is just a keeper that likes to make saves look good and he cannot handle free-kicks, crosses, bounces up at him etc. Good luck with him, hopefully now hes gone we can see how many goals Spurs concede now :)

voiceoftheholte haha dont even get me started.i am a spurs fan through and through and the day robinson joined us i was so happy and its exactly what we needed to take the club forward.he was not woeful at leeds he had agility,passion and bottle.nowadays he a fat lazy s**t.this would be such a bad signing for you,everybody on here who is making the comments saying lets go for him will end up eating there words.to start with on crossing robbo is non existent,he doesnt command anythig in his box.on free kicks your meant to stand the other side of the wall robbo hides behind the wall and leave a straight forward pass into the net just like the carling cup final.now i dont know if youtube will only show his good bits but check it out and you will e suprised just how bad he is.the saves he makes look good other keepers will make look easy and thats the difference.he never dives full stretch,he has this strange technique which iv not seen on any other keeper where dives backwards where as another keeper would just save slightly to the side.this is coming from a spurs fan who absolutely loved robbpo and now rate him as one of the bottom 5 in the league.thank god were getting rid of him and 5m wow.i wouldnt even have him as backup

Even David O'Leary is pushing him towards Villa Park. Guess that means we're lumbered with him now then, no avoiding his arrival. I remain unconvinced, and very concerned.

Carson and stunning saves holte_ender8? No disrespect meant, but are you sure we're talking about the same guy here. I think we can count on one hand the number of saves Scotty made all season, and even then, none of them were 'stunning'.
