Paul Robinson wants to be England No.1 !

July 30, 2008

Paul Robinson is hoping that his move from Spurs to Blackburn can help him regain his place in the England squad for the qualifiers for the World Cup in 2010.

“I want to get back in the England team and play well on a consistent level.

“I’ve got 42 caps. I have got plenty of time to add to that and I intend to. If things go well here it will be great.”

Robinson felt it was time to move on after a tough season last year at both club and country level.

“I was ready for a new club, a change of scenery, a new challenge and it’s helped me find a lot of fire and ambition that maybe drained out of me a little bit towards the end of last season,” he said.

“Come the end of last season you get the vibes at a club and you know you’re wanted or not and over the summer I was seeking other employment.”

Robinson has signed a 5 year deal and looks intent on seeing it through.

“I want to get settled and settle my family. This is a well established club and I want to climb up the table with it.

“Brad (Friedel) was an excellent goalkeeper and did an excellent job for this club.

But I’m not coming here as Brad Friedel’s replacement. I’m coming here as Paul Robinson and I’m here to show the Blackburn fans and the Blackburn people what I can do. ”
