The ex-Paris St.Germain, Newcastle and Portsmouth winger is hopeful that his eperience will help Derby in their battle to avoid the drop, while at the same time sticking two fingers up at the sides who rejected him earlier in the season.
"I am delighted to be able to play football again," Robert said. "You are going to hear about me in the five next months.
"Anyway I have enjoyed this trial at Derby because I have trained with players I know. It was very nice. Besides there is a very good manager. Now I hope that it is going to be OK.
"The last six months have been difficult. The good news is that the coach wants me and trusts me. I can tell you that I will work hard for him.
"He told me he will play me on the left wing, like I did during my Newcastle years. He wants to take advantage of my left foot for crosses and free kicks.
"I think I am capable of giving a hand. Everything is alright physically because I did a preparation camp in Southern France.
"But I will need minutes on the pitch to recover my best level. I feel mentally ready. I will play my first game at the weekend against Wigan. It is a very important game for both teams.
"I had no contacts in France, everybody thinks I am finished. It is up to me to close the mouths and to show them that they made a mistake."
