He's definitely off..

This is just what we need on the run in to the most important game of the season so far, isn't it?

I hope the manager and other players aren't spending too much time thinking about this.

I hope as well and I think they aren't as much as the can.

But indeed Your is a sensible clever point.

not read all the thread, but my take is the following.

come on robbie, show some backbone, show that you are a world class player who is suffering from a dip in confidence, dont run away the minute the going gets tough.

you can still be a success at city, and win trophies with us.

GET YOUR HEAD UP AND GET ON WITH IT.

I haven't read the whole thread, so apologies if it's been written before.

I've heard that part of the deal in letting Robbie go, is that we get first choice over Naymar and Ganso. Might be b@ll@x

 

[ono]

What a stupid decision.

 

[mic.t]

class player ,out of sorts,things are getting better lacks confidence after hughes drawing epidemic which has cost us the title and other big names

 

[Fuzzmaster101]

What a stupid decision.

You think he'll regret it? I don't, if he goes he'll be where he wants to be and he'll get more games and score more goals. He's never going to do much for us this season or the next IMO.

A lot of people on here got very heated in their posts defending Robinho. The same people always come out and say it's the rag infested meadia and that he's been misquoted. The facts are he's wanted away from day one, he looks out only for himself and he'll always blame his failure on others. He's been crap at City, as a fan I'll certainly not remember him with any great fondness or respect.

Its that sort of crap that make us look small minded and bitter

Whether Rob has been great or not is irrelevant in so much that him leaving leaves us with little cover. Bellamy isn't exactly a stranger when it comes to injuries and it's well known he struggles to play more than 90mins a week, although to his credit he's been playing a lot just recently. Then there's Petrov, who in my opinion can as infuriating Robinho, you know he's capable but he's prone to sulking and doing fuck all.

However you look at it, we're losing a player, we have numerous players out through injury.

Be much easier to swallow if we had adequate cover and a full squad.

We'll soon have no ball players left. This may please the fans of the Dickov-Tevez approach to the game, no insult to those two players, I love them both, but ultimately we need players who can pass the ball and split a defence. Tevez is a great passer in the final 3rd, Ireland on his day can do anything but we have missed Elano at times this season, in my opinion, and the departure of Robinho means we could soon be fielding a team with little creativity.

I'm off the opinion that you need Tevez's and Robinho's to win anything. Look at the shite, they had Rooney putting in a shift every week whilst Ronaldo jogged about a bit before sewing up the game with a touch of class. Yeah I know Rob has hardly been in form but we all know what he can do at his best.

Robinho creates very little and he's so ineffective that he's not much use as cover for anybody, he aint going to sit in the middle and stroke the ball about, he faffs around the periphery of a game having little impact. We do need more creativity in midfield but Robinho or Elano certainly not the answer. Robinho was a promising youngster that never really fulfilled his potential, he's never been a world class player and never will be.

Gutted it hasn't worked out as well as we'd hoped, pretty selfish of him to engineer this move at this time though imo.
