[Feed The Goat]

It seems Robby has done something only I don't know what but he is trending on twitter but everyones updates are in foreign I am guessing Spanish. So can anybody shed some light on this or translate there updates.

Looks like they won the cup. From their official site via the brilliant Babelfish translation:

The cold and rainy night of 4 of August, in Salvador (BA), made history for the Saints. In the irregular lawn of the Barradão, the Fish reached its nineth national heading and consolidated itself as the winning greater of Brazil. The conquest of the unknown heading of the Pantry of Brazil also stamped, definitively, the year of 2010 as one of most glorious of the history of the Fish: it has 42 years the Alvinegro the same did not conquer a São Paulo heading and a national heading in year. In 1968, led for the King Skin, the biggest squadron of all the times conquered State and the Brazilian Hexacampeonato raising the goblet of the Match Robert Gomes Pedrosa. In 1961, 62, the 64 and 65 São Paulo and national Saints already had repeated the dose conquering. E the Pantry of Brazil was the only disputed national match already in Brazil that had not been conquered for the Fish. Taboo to less! Other records had been reached, of this time in the Pantry of Brazil: with 39 gols marked, the Saints if guaranteed as optimum attack of the history of the match. The teams who entered in field against the Victory, in as the game, also was the youngest of all times to conquer the Pantry of Brazil, with inferior average the 23 years of age. Neymar was the great artilleryman of the competition, with 11 gols, being also who more made gols for the Saints in an edition of the Pantry of Brazil. Pablo Enrique Goose was chosen as great craque of the Pantry of Brazil and also he gained trophy. At last, a night to still more enrich the history of glories of the Saints Soccer Club. Congratulations, Saints! Congratulations, santistas!

Who gives a shit?

[Ted Hughes]

He's won stuff at Santos & taken the opportunity once again to tell all us lot who supported him, how much he doesn't want to play for us.

[dick dastardley]

if he wants to play back over there take a drop in wages and put some money in our kitty please robinho

[Wooders]

rip up his contract

[Ted Hughes]

rip up his contract

There's the test. If he's so keen to stay there, will he be willing to write off the rest of his City contract & play for whatever wages they can afford? His actual worth to City now will be more like £15M than £30M so if he wrote off his contract & Santos gave us about £5M.I bet we'd go for it.

He's a lying little cunt though so he'll want every penny out of us & fuck Santos.

I'd love us to offer that publically....IF he signed for Santos

Would he fuck though, he'd be straight out of Brazil to the highest bidder

little prick

[john68]

While he is under contract, he can't play anywhere else. Santos can't afford the price tag to buy him.
If there are no buyers, then we are stuck with his wages....STALEMATE.

I would simply offer him up for sale and in the meantime, if his attitude to playing for us remained negative, I would make him train on his own and keep him away from contaminating the club spirit by isolating him.

I don't suppose he would last that long and be screaming within a few days.

Oh if he did sign for them he'd be back in Spain or somewhere by next season. We have to do something with him right now or lose everything imo. Either play him, swap him or sell him. At least get something out of it rather than just loaning him out. The cunt will make a fortune as a free agent in the end if we don't do something.

[edgeley blue]

Can we not just sack the cunt and keep his registration, thus he plays no football whatsoever for anyone for the remainder of his contract. Then in 2-3 years, he wouldnt even have stockport going for him as he would have become a fat little waster aged 29. Just a thought

[Beefymcfc]

Well, he is due back after the Brazil game so let's see what happens. The truth is that no-one else can afford is wages and City would inevitably have to fund the short fall is we wanted rid. Then you've got the transfer fee, how much of a loss are we willing to take?

For me, I'd bring him back to play and if he doesn't want that then he is in breach of contract and we can do a Mutu on his arse. If he forces a move then we won't have to cover his wage and I'm pretty sure whoever it is will not get a cheap deal out of us.

Totally agree with this. We hold all the cards so shouldn't be letting him dictate if and when he plays for us. Time to show him who's boss me thinks.

We've Got Robinho - sort of:

Manchester City's inability to find a buyer for Robinho will lead to Santos making a final attempt to negotiate a loan agreement for a player who is rapidly becoming a lead weight for England's richest club.

Robinho's six-month spell with Santos expired on Wednesday and the most expensive player in English football is scheduled to return to City after Brazil's friendly against the United States next week.

The 26-year-old has not hidden the fact that he is dismayed by the idea of having to start the new season in Manchester and he intends to reiterate to the chief executive, Garry Cook, that he wants to play no further part in the club's plans.

"The club [City] have told us they don't want to loan him out again but Robinho will go back and talk to their board," the Santos president, Luis Alvaro de Oliveira Ribeiro, said. "No one plays where one doesn't want to and I still believe we can persuade Manchester City to loan him for a little longer.

"We agreed a free loan at the start of the year and we want the same conditions now, whereby we pay his wages. That would be good for Brazilian football, for Robinho and for Manchester City themselves because it would keep the value of the player."

Robinho's parting act at Santos was to help them to the Copa do Brasil, beating Vitória 3-2 on aggregate despite losing the second leg 2-1 on Wednesday.

"I don't want that to be my last trophy here," he said. "I really want to stay, but it doesn't depend only on me. My heart is with Santos and I want to stay but we have to talk to Manchester City because I have a contract and I don't want to fight with them.

"Contracts are made to be fulfilled. If they release me, then great, I'll stay [at Santos]. If not, I'll go back and fulfill my contract."

City had been hoping to recoup at least £20m of the £32.5m they paid Real Madrid for Robinho almost two years ago but their high valuation, combined with the Brazilian's £160,000-a-week salary, has put off potential buyers. Santos do not have the finances to consider a permanent move but Ribeiro added: "I will fight for Robinho just as the players fought on the pitch [to win the Brazilian Cup], up to the limit of our possibilities."

[Ted Hughes]

Well at least he's given us a mention.
