Pretty sure Van Der Sar was, but he's the only one.

Rio is a hell of a lot more than that in todays money. Berbatov probably considerably more too.

TBF when they spent £30m on Bumbletov, we dropped 32.5 on Robinho.

Drop being a kind term. I prefer "pissed it up the wall". I can't say i was a fan of the lazy shit if i'm brutally honest.

Robinho was a statement by HRH that Manchester City had arrived on the big stage.

I thought Robbie did very well the first season, but seemed to lose interest after that.

Wasted talent. Perhaps it was more graft over here than he was willing to put in?

Maybe.

But his arrival was a fantastic fillip for the club and us fans at the time.

I absolutely loved 1st September 2008.

Same here Vienna, seeing all those kids outside the ground chanting we've got Robinho on SSN* had me on the verge of dry hacking man-sobs.
There was still for a loonnng time the fear we'd fuck it all up though and I can't tell you I was majorly deflated after the UEFA up exit even after daring to believe we'd get to Istanbul because I was waiting for us to go out, if that makes sense?

*What a transfer deadline day that was!
