I don't know enough about his earlier career. I know that Real Madrid kept telling him that he was the one that the team would be built around and felt betrayed when they were obviously saying the same stuff to Ronaldo. Is he one of those players who've been constantly flattered throughout their formative years - fawning sycophants going on about how he was the future of Real Madrid, Brazil etc?
Or was he constantly reminded of the need to keep working his bollocks off if he expected to be the best?
I mean this seriously, with us he has the chance to prove that he really is one of the worlds greats. But to do so he must adapt to the conditions and overcome them: not expect conditions to adapt to him. Should he fail with us he may well go to Barca or similar and be a great player for them. But he will always carry that shadow of being a great player in a great team, not a true great in himself.
At the moment he has problems. He may well be coming back from injury, he's not the first and won't be the last. It's a shame that he didn't take his chance today. A class goal to revive his team in a difficult situation might have been just the stimulus to kick-start his season and be seen as the turning point in the upward march of City: but it didn't happen and became less and less effective and more easily bullied as the game went on.
Mancini has an interesting problem. He could well decide that the solution is to show faith when all else are losing it, confident that in the end it'll work out and the rewards will see City climb to a higher plane. However, show too much faith, to the detriment of the team and results, and Mancini loses his job. Robhino would then be labelled as the man who got Mancini the sack - and then where would he be?
On the other hand - and this could be my dirty mind coming into play - Mancini could be building up to a conversation with the higher ups along the lines of "I've given him every chance, but, talented as the guy is, we'll win nothing with him -let's get rid."[/border]

Yeah he's been a pussy and moaned, but some of the brilliance he delivered last season would sure liven up the dross we've been seeing recently.

We are on course to at least top six finish. Last year we finished fookin 10th with "his brilliance".

Hmmm yeah all we did was dump robinho and instantly improve.
He may have underwhelmed this season but anyone doubting his ability is an idiot, the boy can obviously play. Whether he wants to you can question, but his ability you cannot.
We were relegated twice with kinky by the way.

Poor attempt Antti. Very poor.
Robinho is still a twat btw, just don't think our current league position has anything whatsoever to do with fucking him off.

Looking at our wing options, Jinky, Amy Bell and Shaunie, I'm bloody delighted he isn't there and manager almost HAVING to throw him in at some stage. So yes, in a way I feel we are better off without him.

Maybe we are. But I don't think you can blame him for finishing tenth last season.
