The Weekly "Robinho said what now?" thread

[john@staustell]

A very sad little man. I wonder if I wrote to a Brazilian paper in English or Spanish they would translate it and print it for me? I guess the whole of Europe now has a poor opinion of him which needs to be heard!

Anyone speak Portuguese?

I've just sold him on Fifa 10 out of spite

I can begin to understand that people dont want to see him play for us again and think he is over-rated waste of space.
But what I dont understand is why all the venom towards him.Fair enough it didnt work out with him but some of the vitriol directed towards him is frankly rubbish and OTT.Like this article he basically speaks the truth on how he sees that Europe isnt all its cracked upto be for players like him and the younger players should't rush into things and says we have been very correct with him.I cant see him saying anything bad about us.He doesn't want to come back and play for us but at with all the venom and vitriol directed to him that seems understandable to me.
I really dont see why people dislike him so much.He's not the first player who it didnt work out for.

I truly wonder how much our then Manager had to do with his arrival. Clearly a publicity stunt from the Sheikh.

He claimed to have been fully involved in it so it rates as one of his biggest mistakes imo, not that we would have thought it at the time. He stood up to Frank/Cook etc when they tried to sell Ireland so I very much doubt he said nothing about the signing of Robinho. He must have gone along with it.

I suppose tbf it served it's purpose in getting our profile out there. I just wish the lazy big headed little twat wasn't such a lazy big headed little twat. I'd dearly love to see him playing properly for City.

Hughes "claimed" and was "fully involved" hey?! Everyone know she was playing Golf. There's no way that Hughes could've stopped that deal going through.

Besides, Robinho was our Top Scorer last season. Nothing to sniff at.

We're paying him more than almost every footballer on the planet and all we want in return is 100% effort, committment and total loyalty whilst under contract.

He gave none of it and is blaming Europe for his lack of effort.

I can't believe you still defend the guy who has absolutely NO interest in the club that rescued him and the fans that chanted his name whenever the ball touched his feet.

I wanted to stay out of this debate as I consider him gone.
However if the fact that he is one of the best paid players on the planet irks you so much then there is little that can be done to appease you.
This lack of effort is something we have already been through and we have different ways of assessing it seems as I dont consider he has ever been lacking in effort.
And if you want to be lied to so you can carry on believing that your favourite is still the one who has our club tattooed on his heart then carry on.

He's telling them he was a defensive midfielder ffs! He's lying through his fucking teeth.

He has mummy issues
