Robinho?!

[Beeks]

Sources close to club: Robinho signed a 4 year deal with Besiktas. We are waiting for official announcement.

This is spreading all over the net...I know it's a rumour but if he really has signed...I wonder how much we got?

Think it was 19 mil being bandied around

Robin-go! Yessss! Well, at least 90% of me is praying its true!

A small part of me still wishes he'd be willing to muck in and give in another go though. Such a waste of talent.

If this is true then good luck to him, but if he can't settle in Spain and England, what difference is it going to make if he goes to Turkey? Yeah, the climate is warmer and its a different culture, but it is well documented that he is happiest when back home in Brazil.

I can see Besiktas in the same boat as us and Madrid a year from now

Wants to become the best player in the world, Besiktas will enable him to do this.

Haha! This tickled me.

I guarantee he will be there for no more than a season.

This. Now he can finally fulfill his long dream of becoming the best player in the history of football!

[superkev8705]

Are they in the Europa League??? If they are i hope we draw them and twat them with him playing the full 90 mins in each game. Such a waste of a player but he only has himself to blame.

At least he'll be nearer to his bum chum now

Just a blog, so I'll continue to do a bit of digging

Isn't the manager there one of his old managers?

[Kladze]

Laugh my bollocks off if this is true

Such a waste of talent, but as shown by his move to Santos, he will be at a club where he will be the number one man again.

Actually, having said that :

In some ways I don't know whether to despise him or pity him - a player with his talent, who believes he's got it in himself to be the best player in the world, but fails in Madrid and then Manchester to end up back at Santos and then Besiktas?
He's got to have some 'big fish in a small pond' psychological problem.

There's a bloke on SSN (which is probably marginally better than saying 'I heard from a bloke down the pub') saying they've offered 16 million quid for him, and want to pay him 70k a week. That's a rather large shortfall.

Well they offered 16.7 million beginning of July which we firmly rejected so can only assume there has been an improved offer

[Beeks]

It's on SSN now but they probably read it off here ;-)

good, fuck off robinho.

Are we going to make a last dip into the meerkat?
