Come on mate he's not that thin.

[edge275]

Now seriously, as for Robinho then he can go for me.

What's the point of having him when he clearly doesn't want to be here?

I'd tell Barcelona we'll give them 10 mill plus Robinho for Xavi and Yaya.

First of all, they won't give us Xavi and even if they did, he may be too old and slight to adapt to the premier league. And while I did admire Yaya from afar since I saw him in that pre season Thomas Cook friendly all those years ago, Now that we're where we are, I don't think he would 'sweeten' any deal for me.

Basically your proposal is £42.5m for a player who's in and out of their team and a 30 year old who MAY adapt immediately to the premier league and even if he does we get 2 or three years out of him... MAXIMUM?

Barca are clearly playing the game. After showing their interest they are making sure , either directly or indirectly ,that the subject of Robi stays high in the news. City will ignore it , Robi might even ignore it if he isn't faced with some reporter firing loaded questions at him but the papers think it's a great story and it sure as hell fires up the fans!

It's a great pity Robi hasn't been playing for a while now. I feel it's a shame that he is portrayed as having no heart for City as I don't believe that and I really hope when he comes back he puts in top performances to show it. What will happen will happen and I feel sure that City won't lose out in terms of any deals that do get done if he has to go.

Well, yaya may be in and out of the team but this is Barcelona we're talking about here not some mickey mouse side. I also think with his brother here he'd find a new lease of life.

Secondly Xavi may be 30 but is one of the best players in the world (even now). Think of a vastly superior Ali B.

Well that's a big point Doug... he could well come back and play out of his skin in which case the fans will love it, he'll love it and his price tag could well be too much for Barca. If he comes back and plays CONSISTANTLY world class, I've a feeling he'll be going nowhere... Manchester might be a rainy place compared to Spain - but there's always IMPROVED CONTRACTS that can't be turned down!!

Anyway, all that said, I really don't know if he'll ever be the player he wants to be - ie the best in the world... a LOT has to change IMO.

[marvin]

I agree Doug.

I got the Adebayor / Togo World Cup game totally wrong. They play on Sat 14/11/2009 - we don't have a fixture then

A VASTLY VASTLY superior Ali B he'd have to be mate. Ali B couldn't cut it in the premiership... I know age was a big factor, but that's my point.

Chances are he would make it mate, but he's no 24/25 year old...

Re Yaya - This is Manchester City we're talking about, not some mickey mouse side... you get what I'm saying?

No mate, could you do another topic and word it better please?

I just might!

Seriously though - The prem takes getting used to and there have only been a handful of those that looked truely world class in the holding mid position. I'm not sure Yaya would be in that bracket and if he's not good enough for Barca I really don't know if he could be good enough in a more physical prem...

[Tokyo Blue]

That is ominous to say the least!

I think you're right...but i'll tell you what...they better have someone big lined up to replace him...and we better get Ya Ya coming the other way too

"They better", eh? Or what? You'll stamp your little foot?

If he goes, then he goes and I'd thank him for what he has done for us in his short time here. Life and football will go on. We have lost what we regarded as excellent players before, players such as Kinky, Paul Stewart, Mick McCarthy, Denis Law, Franny Lee, and still carried on. We'll manage with or without him. We are in a better position than ever to cope with the loss of such a good player.

But I think this is nothing more than a rumour as yet.

[IanWright]

Do you reckon Robinho could become one of these cult figures at City (a little like Tevez at West Ham or Hughes at Chelsea) should he leave in January?

[Sister of fu]

IMO he has not done enough yet to be considered a cult hero. Plenty on here will disagree but he has no long term place in my heart yet.

Yes I agree. Such a shame.

Me too.

Some on here still have the "We've got Robinho" ringing in their ears. His signing represented the beginning of something none of us could have ever dreamt of.

However his football has been at times breath-taking, at times piss poor. IF he leaves now, he will be remembered for being the first one in... but also for being inconsistant, just as he was at the last club and more than likely just like he will be at the next.

Personally, I think Tevez will be the one legend that we will remember above all of the other signings so far... in twenty years time...

[Goataldo]

I really enjoy watching him play (at home at least!) and thinks he gives any opposition a real problem, so i'd be disappointed if he went. If he could defend, or even tried to convincingly, it'd be a miles bigger loss though.

I mean despite his absolutely ridiculous ability on the ball, he does leave us open when we don;t have possession. Bellamy does not. He works his Jacobs off no matter what, in attack or defence. But then Bellamy is injury prone, but then again, he is fit and Robi is crocked. I dunno, it's a tangent strewn conundrum. Hence thread.

I just hope he wants to stay, cos if he doesn't then what's the point in having him here? If the deal's right for City, do the deal I reckon, and get Yaya and summat/someone else besides.

Not a cult figure or a heroe, but a symbol. Which of course was the main reason of buying him in the first place; making a statement that we're rich as fuck and will be a force to be reckoned with. Remember that the take over happened on the last day of the transfer window, so one big splash, was pretty much al the sheik could do to show he meant business.
What I'm trying to say - admist my ramblings - is that we will remember him as a symbol of the new City and of the turning point. Not as a cult figure. That is if he goes to Barca, of course.

[ruralblue]

I'm really, really fed up with knobinho personally.
I have always said he has to be 1 of the most overatted footballers ever.
He makes our team worse.
If he wants to go 'FUCK OFF YOU WANKER'.
We do not need big headed , unloyal wankers at our club.
Pack your bags and fuck off, the sooner the better.
Infact, Mr Hughes.
Please do this for him as i know for a fact Hughes does not rate Robinho.
And i would rather have Petrov on the wing then some overatted footballer who thinks he is god because he does 1 shimmy and a few step overers.
FUCK OFF ROBINHO.
THE SOONER YOU ARE OUT OF THIS CLUB, THE FUCKING BETTER.
WANKER.

Do us a favour mate pm me your email addy and I will gladly re-register you back to Bluemoan and you can fuck off back with the rest of the jokers.

Personally I dont think it looks good and have a feeling he may go in Jan cause if we force him to play he wont be fighting to win will he? and the negative effect that will have on what sounds like a buzzing team. Also if he stays and isn't interested and keep Bellers out of the team it would be a cricket bat not a golf club.
I would NOT be happy should he go on loan, as a swap plus cash for Yaya maybe, not cause I dont think on his day, Robinho isnt better, of course he his, but cause I wouldnt mind seeing how Yaya and Kolo look like together and would rather watch players play who want to play for all the right reasons.

I also think a lot of the talk from Barca is tapping up and trying to force us in a corner.

WANKER (is it customery to end all you posts with that Paul?)

[Goataldo]

Mr Nool, that's bang on.
