Also, Paul Rachubka has moved out on loan to Leyton Orient until the 6th of April.
Sounds like a view-to-permanent deal.
Cant remember seeing this guy play so i will hold judgement until we see him play in a Leeds shirt.
Does this mean cart horse O'Dea is benched? Stupid mistake by him on Saturday gifted Lambert the goal
I actually thought he was a decent player about 5 years ago. Not sure about him now but lets have a look.
didnt he used to take some decent free kicks?
He pretty good on Champ Manager
decent player on Fifa12 too
Paul rachubka the name sounds like an infection
Lancs.. PD will know, he'd of had it

so much for no loan signings
I remember him playing goalie for us!
I will fully suspect the 'old loan who can't even get in to a poor Bolton side' but I actually think this is a cracking signing, from seeing him on TV and stuff he doesn't shy a challenge and isn't scared to voice his opinion although the commentators always say "he's the nicest bloke in the world off the pitch"
Think he will do well at high championship/lower prem has experience and good to have around!
Welcome to ER Robinson
He'll be decent for us, nothing special, but solid (what we need).
He was on the bench for Bolton in the PL on Saturday.
Sounds like he could be the left back version of Paul Connolly - nothing spectacular, but solid and dependable.
As for the Rachubka disease, Tusc, let me say something. Rachubka is just an eight-letter word... until you catch it, then it becomes a two-letter word followed by a four-letter word and plenty of itching.
The board makes me laugh
SG brought in old players who were 'carthorses' looking for 'one last payday'.
NW is bringing in 'much needed experience'
Now i backed SG but thought it was right he went - just saying it makes me laugh a bit

Agreed, and wouldn't be against it for the time being
IT sounds like it could be a good addition, but surely shouldnt we be looking for midfielders??

A centre half, a midfielder and a striker is what we need to make Play Offs. Another player to come in IMO.
Just an opinion here, but does anyone else think that perhaps the reason we have struggled to score in our last two games is because we have been putting our leading scorer out on the wing?
I dont know much about Leeds however Robbo is a good addition for any championship club.
He's lost the yard or four of pace, however he is solid, dependable and saved us many points last year with goal saving last ditch tackles. He's also good going forwards which i dont think he gets enough credit for, the only problem is he's not quick enough to get back if they counter quickly! I rate Robbo and he's a fans favourite at the Reebok thanks to things like this:

Good signing, Championship is probably his level, i just dont think he can keep up with the PL anymore. Which is fine cause we're probably not gonna be there next season either!!
As always, wait and see.
But on paper this sounds like a poor one IMO. Yes, he has got experience at Prem/top Championship, but he´s 34 now which is why Bolton who are in the relegation zone, don´t want him anymore.
Atleast, it´s with a view to a permanent to see how he´s doing. I remember thinking he was a decent player when I´ve seen him play, but at 34...
Maybe Webber and Robinson could turn out to be masterstrokes from NW:

Thats right. How is that funny.
Manager A brought in players past their sell by date who had nothing to offer, with no leadership skills to go with their experience
Manager B brought in players approaching their sell by date who still have a season or two to offer, with leadership skills to go with their experience
Seems pretty reasonable to me. Also, NW can't bring anything in except loanees until the summer so no point criticising him for that.
I just hope he has got it right (7 previous promotions suggests - well, gives a slight hint anyway - that he may well know what he is doing,
If he does really well I suggest we invite him to join this board, as he might know as much about football as some of the commentators on here (only kidding, he won't be quite in that league, obviously)
