Good riddance

[gaudinho's stolen car]

Thats the same article from before in a different colour isn't it? I know the Daily Mail is as close to gospel as you can get, but I was wondering if there was any direct quote from him or his "representatives"?

 

[ono]

Great, another quoteless Robinho article for people to get pissed off about.

 

[mackenzie]

Think he saw his arse when Bellamy and Tevez arrived. No-one's bigger than the club and I think City should publicly announce he is for sale at the price we bought him for, and let him see just how many clubs are interested. I might be wrong but that might be humble pie time.

Damn right.

 

[The Fixer]

Robbie has now stated on a radio station in Brazil he snubbed Barca who agreed a 6 month loan deal with City.

Apparently initially Barca wanted to sign him on a perm deal but city didn't wanna sell, i think we fecked that up!!

 

[mancunial]

if robby has said any of this which i doubt, he could in fact be in breach of contract, the main instigator in this lot is mr pele, he has been making quotes about robby,s transfer to city since the first day he arrived, then the awol situation arose it doesn,t take sherlock to work out what has been going on,he and robby have (probably) been constructing his suggested move from day one,if he wants to move then we should be asking for at least over the amount we payed for him, this way if anyone else tries this at city they will probably think twice,if his prospected club don,t pay the amount required then make him come back for bobby or the next manager to do with at his leisure ie reserves or bench warmer? i think city have to really put their foot down on this or we will have a couple more of these situations?

 

[The Fixer]

Robinho claims he turned down the opportunity to join Barcelona before signing for Santos on loan.

The Brazil international has returned to his homeland on a six-month deal after falling out of favour at Manchester City.

The Samba star was a first-team regular under former Blues boss Mark Hughes and enjoyed a productive debut season in England last term.

However, injuries hindered his early progress this year and Roberto Mancini used him sparingly upon his appointment as Hughes' successor at Eastlands.

A return to his native Brazil has helped to reinvigorate Robinho, though, with the 26-year-old having hit the ground running with Santos.

No deal
He could, however, have been strutting his stuff back in the Primera Liga, with the ex-Real Madrid ace admitting he snubbed an offer from Barcelona in order to head home.

"I had an offer from Barcelona," he told Radio Globo.

"But they wanted to bring me in on a transfer and Manchester City didn't want to sell me.

"Then they wanted me on a loan deal but it wouldn't have been good to take my whole family, look for a house and be there only six months."

How can he be good enough for Barca when he's not even good enough for us? Perhaps Barcelona know a good player when they see one, and their fans won't be obsessed with him 'tracking back'? One things for sure they won't be in for Craig Bellamy, so you can all rest easy.

You can tell he's confident again, that's what having thousands of fans cheering you instead of moaning and groaning at every mistake does to you. That's why he was so good last season when everyone just cheered everything he did but this season it weasn't good enough and was expected to defend when he's an attacker. Any wonder it's not worked out for him?

Contender for the "Most Brainless Post of the Month" competition.

In my experience, this kind of comment is made by idiots.

pele was a great player but seems to hawk himself around like a cheap hooker, and not the rugby playing kind.

 

[CITY FOR LIFE]

Sick to death of it.

Robinho sells up for good: £32.5m flop has no desire to return to Manchester City after loan spell in Braziil

Manchester City forward Robinho has cleared his house, sold his car, shipped his possessions back to Brazil and told his representatives to find him a new club.

Robinho is currently on loan at Santos in his home country and scored twice during a 6-3 defeat of Bragantino on Thursday.

A kiss goodbye: Robinho has now cleared out his English home

City boss Roberto Mancini has said in recent weeks that he expects the 26-year-old to return to the club after the World Cup this summer, and senior figures at Eastlands have certainly been hoping that their £32.5million record signing will be back when his six-month loan runs out at the end of June.

But Sportsmail can reveal that Robinho has already had his house cleared in the city and has flown all his possessions to South America. His white Lamborghini sports car has also been sold.

Robinho has said to his representatives that he has no desire to move back to City and asked them to arrange a permanent move away from England in the summer. He has also said that he would rather stay at Santos - who are top of the Sao Paulo state championship with a four-point cushion - for an extended spell than return to City.

Robinho scored his first goal from close range against Bragantino while his second - a cheeky lob - sent the crowd into raptures.

'I dedicate the goal to my son, who loves football just like me,' said Robinho. 'It is still a great thrill to play here. I grew up here. My home is near here. This stadium is my second home.'

Feeling the pain: Robinho endured a miserable spell at Eastlands

Robinho was not a huge fan of Mancini's training methods while he was at City and Craig Bellamy is also taking some convincing, with the issue coming to a head on Wednesday.

Under previous manager Mark Hughes, Bellamy was given leeway about training because of his troublesome knees.

It is understood, however, that Mancini prefers all his squad to join in every session - sometimes even twice a day. Bellamy was not happy at what was being asked of him and Sportsmail understands he remains unconvinced that his long-term future remains at City, or even in this country.

Mancini confirmed that an argument had taken place in his office, but denied Bellamy had been banished from the club, insisting they had reached a compromise.

Indeed, the Wales striker may yet be passed fit to face his old club Liverpool at Eastlands tomorrow.

'I have only spoken to him face to face, player and manager,' said Mancini. 'I haven't shouted at him. 'He wanted to work in one mode with his knee, I preferred to work in another mode. It's just one problem a manager can have with players.'

However, City will again be without Carlos Tevez, who is on compassionate leave in Argentina where his new baby daughter Katie, who was born six weeks premature, has been in intensive care.
