[Archived] Paul Robinson

[imy9]

This is probably the best place to talk about Robinson now that it is not a rumour but an official signing!

£3.5m is too good to be true really. Williams is a canny operator but I can't see him stitching Levy up that good.

We'll probably take a few million off the Bentley fee now, knocking down Arsenal's cut and making us better off in the process.

haha quality

just seen it on SSN

i guess that meens bye bye friedel officialy

[islander200]

I shed a tear that this means brad is gone thanks for the memories big fella.Hopefully robbo will become as much a legend as brad,if robbo plays to his full potentian i believe we have signed englands number 1

[John]

Great deal potentially I reckon. Good price.

Welcome Paul, Englands number one!!

[Mr Creosote]

Having been gutted about Freidel this has helped to salve the wound.

Sure, he's had it rough recently but I think that goes back to Zagreb which was a bit of a freak incident. Spurs is hardly the place to rehabilitate.

He's a basically a good, sound keeper. Rovers could be the ideal place to rediscover his belief in himself as we are hardly consistantly in the media glare as we all know. Once he does we have ourselves a very good keeper.

[frosty]

Sorry to see Brad leave, but Robinson is a very good replacement. Probably the best we could have got anyway.

[Hughesy]

Great Business. £3M upfront and a further £500k in add-ons if Nicko is right.

Very good business - very happy and at his age, the price is fantastic.

[cn_barlow]

considering all the bad press Ince is getting on here, Paul Robinson is a very, very good first signing. I hope the others match up

[bonerdude]

welcome robbo.....hope you rediscover your form and become a legend like brad....

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

THE KING IS DEAD LONG LIVE KING ROBINSON!

A massive thanks to Brad and some wonderful memories of his time at Ewood

[sparky12]

a quality peice of buisiness

to say villa are signung brad for 2 million we are gettin someone who is 9 years younger for only 1.5 milli on more

a huge thanks brad for 8 great years

wow its going to be wierd next year on radio rovers with brads name not being on the team sheet

[ThatRabbitsDynamite]

Thanks a million Mr. Friedel!! The very best of luck to you!!

Welcome onboard Mr. Robinson, you're gonna love Ewood!!

And now the dam has been opened. Its about time. Its been dry and hot.

[DeadlyDirk]

Happy with the news, good value for money if he can recapture his old form.

Just think how broad Robinson's shoulders will be as he walks into Brockhall for training.

He knows he was the only choice for us, and despite some hiccups, the club made it clear that they would hold out for him.

Added to that a 5-year contract; probably just the vote of confidence he needs.

As for Cerny keeping him out of the Spurs side last season: politics pure and simple. There were scores to be settled by the board and the new manager.

That probably says more about Spurs as a club than it does about Robinson.

Who was interested in Cerny at the end of the season? Certainly not Spurs.

[vintageadidas]

Great deal.........very happy! Softens the blow of Brad leaving!

Good luck to both.

Brad = BRFC legend forever.

exatly right robinson would have been tottenhams 4th keeper next season if he had stayed because they have know gomes and tony warner so that means that cerny wil now be 3rd choice keeper so it shows how much spuds really wanted cerny. all he was is a replacement for robbo

[Greenall_David]

We will soon be singing " Englands number 1, England englands number 1!!" I'm over the moon, it's going to top my nite of! I though the worse was to come wen i heard frideal wanted out! best replacement you could ask for! :D

[1&OnlyRover]

hes got a better goal scoring record than brad too

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Great move- only another ten out field positions to go. Football management is easy - get good players gradually replace them with excellent players, get excellent players gradually replace them with stars, get star players gradually replace them with world beaters. We are obviously following the Kiddo/ Roy Boy route !

I thought that was a certain Mr James now??? could be wrong

[DanLad]

I'm sad to see Brad go. A true Rovers legend! Good luck!

I'm pleased that Robinson is his replacement. Always rated him really highly. Quality keeper coming into his prime!

[ThatRabbitsDynamite]

Thanks to Mr. Williams and all who had a hand in getting PR on the Rovers!! Good job!

[Ninjathunder]

Good signing for Ince, once we were resigned to losing Friedel. Form is temporary, class is permanent.

[baxendenblue]

Well done Incey - great first signing. Hope people stop slagging him and get behind him

Super robbo

Cheers for everything brad
