Has Robinho walked out? (Merged)

...ok I am puzzled. If Robby is off on a sanctioned break to Brazil and never went to Tenerife why did Cook say:

"I do know Robinho is not at the training centre in Tenerife," executive chairman Garry Cook said Tuesday. "If he has left the training ground it is a breach of club discipline. I am waiting for a full debrief."

Boy this is a weird day

The answer is in my post above.

I reckon he's taken himself off without permission.

I agree its a strange day

BBC reporting it as well. All is good again :-)

"I had made Manchester City aware that I needed to return to Brazil because of a family matter,"

I feel somewhat smug and vindicated... would anyone listen at the time... oh no.
 
This is not all over. Clearly he has left without permission, otherwise Cook wouldn't have said it's a disciplinary matter. I'm pleased he's saying positive things about City, but he cannot just walk out whenever he feels like it just because he's our best player. I really hope this isn't a sign of things to come.
 
Robinho's alive and well!!!!

To be fair Cook doesnt know whats happening, he hasnt been able to speak to MH as he said. Busy doing other things.

Well it would account for the fact cook seemed unaware of what was going on and the fact the story was allowed to fester for so long and still no official word from the club putting the record straight...

...but I predict that Robby's line will become the clubs official line and everyone will kiss and make up :)
