Spurs were willing to hand Leeds a cash injection by paying up front before allowing the keeper to remain at Elland Road on loan until the end of the season.
But the Premier League refused to sanction the deal and the England international insists he is keen to put a difficult week behind him by leading United's bid for survival, starting tomorrow at Villa Park.
Speaking for the first time since his move fell through, Robinson today said in the Yorkshire Evening Post: "I'm still a Leeds player and still want to be a Leeds player. I will always have pride in that Leeds shirt.
"I've been here 11 years and didn't feel it right that I could leave the club that has given me so much in the situation it's in. I'm not that type of person. This club has given me a career.
"I've been here since I was 14 and didn't feel it right to turn my back and say 'get on with it – I'm out of it'. If things are going right it maybe helps things off the pitch. If we are winning games, it might help someone put money into the club.
"It's not that bad an investment if we start winning a few games, so hopefully we can turn things around."
