Why not? He will be back in Scotland, experience in the middle of the park if Claros goes, won't be too expensive. Think he will end up at Aberdeen or Arabs though.

Never had pace to lose and his dead ball, passing and shooting ability would be most welcome in our midfield.
Would be surprised though.

If BR arrived I think I'd want his babies and James McPake's babies are still top of my list.....

Think he would be the perfect signing for us till the end of the season. At 34 he is not a long term solution but would give us a bit creativity in midfield.

He'll be a fair age now surely. Don't think he would offer much especially when most fans seem to think we need more pace in the team and should buy a winger.

The only thing I can find in the Canada Media about Whitecaps is that they have signed a new player in todays draft. All there is about Robson is that he signed a three year contract in February,2012 starting to play in July 2012. He is on a good wage, it seems strange Whitecaps would cut him and have to pay him 2 1/2 years pay.

Aye, good player, Robson, dunno what he'll have left at 34 though.
Miller is going 'home' to Sevco is he no?

Is he not pretty ancient now? That said, he was never/rarely in the papers dribbling fish suppers down his chin at 4am so he's probably kept himself in decent nick. Great dead ball delivery and long range shooting, would definitely take him if he still has the legs.

5 or 6 years ago definitely but his time has gone. I'd be more than happy if we kept Claros and possibly signed another striker. Our focus then should be on retaining the players that we already have on longer term contracts.

One of my friends is good friends with one of the coaching staff at Vancouver and he said that Barry Robson was a complete baw bag and thought he was a big time charlie. He said no one could stand him, Kenny Miller on the othere hand always lead by example and was always good with the young guys and very professional. So on that info its a no thanks for me.

I really don't know where Metro get their information but Martin Rennie, Whitecaps most successful coach so far was in the paper as recently as yesterday still the coach. I don't know who the new coach is but Rennie has been around for a while and was as a fellow Scot heavily involved in the signings of Miller and Robson. Both players are on extremely high salaries as designated players, doubtful if they could get anything like it in Scotland. If and a very big if there is any validity to these stories up to 2.16pm PST, all were still in employ of Whitecaps. Strange that nothing reported here where they play and are very popular with the regular close to 20,000 fans they draw for games in their beautiful stadium

robson released by Whitecaps
Announced today in Vancouver as reported here some time ago, Whitecaps and Robson have come to an agreement on his release. I doubted the reports on here, but they were right I was wrong.
