Get Behind Robinho

[JUSTBLUE08]

He has found living in Cheshire and mixing with the posh lot along with his girlfriends and hangers on do not go with being a level headed world class footballer.

He was shy some months ago and since drink and sex appeared he seldom gets to bed before 2am tired out but no longer shy.Over the years we have seen the above wreck so many other lads in the game.He really does believe that training can be done at home in his own time and has little time for any ideas offered by the managers.My own lot spend time Horse riding and swimming in his new pool so the news is the best around. He could offer so much ..but his family also play a very big call in where he plays or where he places his money as in this area so much goes back home. At present his agent is putting so much pressure on him about which club he should play for and we our his first choice and Barca the agents No 1.

The lad has passed his peak and we should move him on asap as we cannot support his life style any more.

I am so hoping he plays tonight and does the business i and others know he can do. This thread will be the first one i visit.

I hope he does too, although he defo shouldn't be starting. Doesn't make us wrong though, we've all said we know he can play well every now and again, he'll have to do it week in, week out to prove us wrong. I think even Garrido and Benjani have had a good game once in there career.

whether he plays good or not tonight(if he plays) will prove nothing

The way some are going on here they will be gutted if Robinho gets a goal and Robinho has had MANY good games for us.

This sounds all too believable, but are you basing it on supposition or is someone itk on the record about this?

not saying that at all, all city fans would love to see the best of him on a regular basis, we are just saying that he is the only one that can do it, you cannot drop a form player for one with a bigger reputation

WTF!! robinho is in the top 10 players on the planet mate!
granted he's not doing himself any favours at the minute and maybe he's not cut out for our game i dont know but to say he isn't that good is bull shit.
who's the first name on the brazil team sheet when fit, not kaka, fabiano or ronaldhino.
robinho is god over there mate.

Top 10 ha ha ha ha.

He'll be lucky to be in the top 100.
He's not even in the top 5 at City.

True!

I was actually hoping that Robinho would be rested for tonight, coz two games in two days is probably beyond him at this stage in his recovery. After reading through this thread again I now hope he plays and has a stormer, so that the big mouth know nothings that follow this club will shut the fuck up about him for five minutes. Robinho is shit. Robinho can't control a ball. Robinho can't pass a ball. Robinho not in the world's top 100. Robinho only as good as his last game. Yawn, yawn, bleeding yawn. Yes I know you all love the Welsh Messi, but talking bollocks about Robinho isn't the answer.

so you think he has been a success so far at city then do you? if you think he has lived up to his reputation so far then it is you that knows nothing about football, also it is 2 games in three days and i hardly think the last game would have wiped him out, he is either a typical example of a self indulgent over pampered proffesional footballer or cannot hack the pace pf the premiership

So. you'd leave out probably our player of the season for a player who, at the moment, doesn't justify being picked?

He's recovering from a serious injury, which is something Tevez was doing when our resident 'experts' were giving him grief. Just look at him now. Still, carry on giving Robinho shit, it's you that's going to look silly at the end of the day, when he gets fully match fit, and rams all the insults back down everyone's throats.

 

[swps]

No, no one is saying leave bellamy out because our best player have to play. Cant they play together or what? Petrov will be benched and Robinho and bellers behind Tevez

your not answering the question are you! do you think he has been a success? do you think he deserves his place over bellamy?

I think he's been playing under a manager who didn't have the vaguest idea how to get the best out of him. He now has a top quality manager who does. He's recovering from injury, so patience is required, but that patience will be rewarded because, on his day, he is amongst the best players in the world. So, yes, I would pick a fit and firing Robinho over Bellamy, if that is the choice I'm given.

 

[Benarbia]

Bellamy needs to play over him atm

hughes played him on the left of a 3 man attack which is his preferred position, not sure you can blame hughes, its about time he took resposibilty for his own game, its in all our interests for him to start performing

That's the whole problem though; with all due respect, there's no way you can say that Rob is either of those at the moment. Therefore, the manager can only go with the player in form at any given time. The day that any manager at City picks a player on reputation or potential over a player who is playing consistently well will be a dark day. And that's not even considering Rob's habit of going missing at away games. If Rob can get back to full fitness and perform to his potential consistently, of course he would be pushing for a place in the team. Not at the expense of one of our best players though.

Lets all chill out and see what a top quality manager's take on this is eh?

Re: I have to get this out of the way..

Good post.

The price tag is weighing heavily I think. Not with Robinho, but the fans.

Can understand it in a way...we know what he is capable of and we want to see it, but the years of patience have led to an impatience that is now getting desperate.

I do hope he proves the doubters wrong as he IS a great player. Some compared him to Kinkladze and said Gio was better. No he wasn't. And that is my point.....that we haven't seen the best of him. Yet.

That's the thing, to be fair he scored 14 league goals last year? And he was pretty average all season by his standards, he's a player I was very interested in during his Madrid days, and he has lots to offer, so he had a bad game, I bet Tevez isn't turned on that quickly when he has a bad game. Robinho's off form, nothing more, I'm sure someone will claim there is some kinda conspiracy, like he's playing shit on purpose cus' he wants to go Chelsea and he's just wrecking us first.

Yes, he's been poor for a while, can't help with idiots constantly slagging him off at EVERY opportunity, he will come back and prove you wrong. And then you'll clap him like nothing happened.

The sentence "I bet Tevez isn't turned on that quickly when he has a bad game" says a lot......ask yourself WHY Tevez doesn't get slagged off in the same way? Perhaps it is because Tevez still runs his arse off every game, even when he is having a shit game.....unlike Robinho (fair comment I think?).

Yes, as fans, we have to make an effort to support our players like Robinho, that is our job as fans. However, his job as a player is to put as much effort into his game as possible which for me he doesn't do which is why he gets abuse from sections of the ground. Is it not normal for angry fans to express their opinions about a player not putting the effort in for the club and the players around him?

Let's get behind him when he is getting behind our club

Of course he has been a success, you only have to look at his record last season and how he played in the majority of games. He's not suddenly become a bad player just because he is trying to find his form after being injured.
