Robinson Keen On Villa Move

Ok this is probably more speculation as there are no direct quotes but ‘sources close to the player’ have said he is making all the right noises.

I’m not sure what noises he is making, groans of ecstasy maybe or maybe he’s running around White Hart Lane shouting ‘I’m a goalkeeper get me out of here’. I really don’t know.

So please don’t ask – but apparently he’s making them.

The Evening Mail have carried a story based on sources ‘from London’ who claim he is ready to tell Martin O’Neill to come and get him.

Robinson has been rumoured to be a long term target for O’Neill but interest was ramped up a gear or two over the last 24-48 hours. A meeting is planned between manager and player BUT has yet to be finalised as O’Neill has other potential deals to juggle.

The meeting also needs the official go ahead from Spurs, which if given would imply we could sign Robinson for a snip at around £5 million.

IF and it would be if, he can regain his form, confidence and return to the type of performances that made his name at Leeds and Spurs in the early years, it could quite easily be the signing of the season.
