Haha no I am not Robert Green 
Though I think the signing of 2 proven premierleague class defenders such as Dawson and Carvalho would be perfect for QPR, though I'd suggest Dawson would be the pick of the two, more of a case of Spurs accepting a great bid more than wanting him to leave.
Think someone mentioned about Crosses? To be honest, unfair criticism has led to him labelled as a 'stay on your line' goalkeeper, and being non-vocal. If you would have seen him tear Carlton Cole a new one last season for not marking properly you would change your mind. He doesn't shirk coming for crosses, the England friendly he played this year he came for anything and everything, caught 99% and was criticized in the media for missing one that sailed out for a goal kick anyway. To those who suggest Robinson is a better goalkeeper......ever seen him catch a cross? OR have you seen him flap, and then scream at his defence whilst the cameras focus on him? Why was he pushed out of Spurs in the first place for Brazil's David James? A massive kick and a loud voice doesn't make a top 10 goalkeeper, and I'm sure that is where you'd like to be this year.
Green is a very methodical goalkeeper, very quiet off the pitch, not flashy, doesn't get involved in media things, does extra training to make sure everything is exactly so going into his next game. I believe I am correct in saying the current goalkeeper coach is Kevin Hitchcock? The ironic thing about this, is when he came to West Ham under Zola was the first time I'd ever seen Green punch a ball! So to see him come and mess one up the other day doesn't surprise me, he is probably being encouraged to, its been coached into him and I don't believe its a natural thing for him to do.
Green will never have Reina's excellent distribution, Cech's excellent reflexes or Hart's excellent command....BUT, he is generally very very good and very steady at everything. A confident Robert Green can push Joe Hart to play for England. A confident Paddy Kenny is still an #### wipe.
OH - and he can save the odd penalty too, I know who i'd have liked in against the Italian penalties this summer!

If you are the former then hopefully some of our, shall we say, anti-Green crew will take note of what you have written, if you are the latter, they will just abuse you.
For what it's worth, I agree with all you have said about him even though I have only watched him from afar, not quite in an armchair capacity, but more so than as a regular, see him in the flesh type of a way.
