Robinho - what next?

Postby Bojinov's left foot » Fri Apr 09, 2010 8:03 pm

I'd be surprised if Robinho stays in Brazilian league football next season. If so where does that leave him and City?

Does he come back to City to stay and compete or move to another club in Europe? If Europe which clubs would be interested? The numbers are low surely not Real and would he fit in at Barca?

If rumours are to be believed and Mancini is interested in Di Maria at Benfica then a swop deal could be on the cards.

Any thoughts?

Same ^^

I really couldn't care less where that little prick goes, after the way he has acted over the past 3 months showing so much disrespect to us i know that i don't want him playing for our club (never thought i would be saying that a few years ago). He thinks he's the best player in the world and this is not the case by any means.

And as for a swap deal with him for Di Maria goes i would take it, i don't know how much Di Maria is worth but if its less that £25mill then Robinho and cash will do nicely.

It counts.

Massive shame if he does not play top class league football again though. The guy can be awesome.

When he wants to be, and that's not good enough i don't want him playing when he decides to. He should go out and play his heart out and give 100% ie Tevez, Bellers not give up when things aren't going his way.

The guy can be awesome when the ball is played directly to his feet, he doesn't need to 'sprint' more than ten yards, and nobody has the audacity to try to tackle him before he's had the ball for a full three seconds.

Yeah, awesome .......

Stop deluding yourselves. He's precisely the kind of player your first season in CL requires.

And only the utterly foolish would let him deteriorate on the sidelines whilst getting someone else of the same abilities in at the same time.

He's one of the most skillful players your club has had in the last 25 years.

The difference between having a chance of progressing past Europa and getting to the knock out rounds.

Which is surely yr aspiration?

Only City could break the British Transfer Record with barely anyone gutted when that Player leaves the Club around 18 months later. I wonder what would've happened had we managed to get Berbatov that day? And how would last season's Top Scorer for City got on at Chelsea?

He can put up or shut up.

Does not change the fact that Senior Robinho obviously does not give a fuck. Ever since he ran back to Brazil he has been slagging City off and saying he wants to stay at Santos forever.

He can fuck off for all I care. I'd rather play players who give a shit and put a shift in, even if they aren't anywhere near as skillful as Robinho, I am sure they benefit the team more.

On him, you're probably right; he did after all get all histrionic on Real before his 'dream move' to Manchester.

Wonder who'll have the better World Cup? Tevez or Robinho?

I agree with Walmai. With CL football on offer and no World cup to worry about missing his whole attitude could be different but he does need to sort it out. Can't see as he'll have many other options as attractive open to him.

Also if he does get Di Maria does this mean that Johnsons future is as a right winger?
Balotelli......that's a brilliant finish.

Barca? Their players work so hard they can afford to carry one lazy bastard & the oppo has so much else to worry about there's no way they can afford to man mark him. No way would they pay a huge transfer fee but they could offer us players they don't use & perhaps end up getting him for just wages.

Failing that, a similar player exchange deal with a lesser Spanish team or Porto or Benfica if we give them cash.

15 goals 1st season, stop start second.

Been working all night and been tuned into 5live and their World Football Phone-in. Tim Vickery, the South American football expert (who I have great respect for) repoted an answer Robbie gave to a comment about City being a funny club.
With a chance to be respectful, Robbie simply answered that "City were just a small club in a fortunate financial position"

Vickery commented that even though not a City fan, it annoyed him. He stated Robbie had the chance to state that City represented the 1st industrial City and had a great tradition. Vickery felt that Robbie was being very disrespectful.

Personally I don't go much for primas donna players, Kaziu Deyna was a huge Polish star and World class player...he did very little for us. George Weah was an ex World Footballer and chucked his dummy out of the pram and Robinho seems to be much the same.
Great skills, no bottle...I couldn't care less.

Walmai,
I respect your view from the outside and can't deny that Robbie has magical skills but for too long there were too many frills and little end product. I don't really care who has the better World Cup, Tevez or Robinho, as it neither adds nor subracts from what they do at Eastlands. Tevez is by far the superior player in a blue shirt...For City, it is a no brainer Mate.
