And just below that report, we find this link:

Which means that we can twist this in a number of directions:
1. Robinho never had any intention of leaving City & is now making his position known.
2. Robinho was interested in moving to Barca, but now that the deal is looking increasingly unlikely, he's back-tracking as quickly as possible.
3. The Daily Mail knows fuck all & is making things up in order to sell copy!
Based on the frankly ludicrous proposition that we were planning to replace Robbi with David Villa (who plays in a different position for fuck's sake), I'm going for a verdict of number 3, with a healthy dollop of number 2 mixed in for good measure.
"I love Manchester City"? What tripe! No you don't Robbi;
I love Manchester City, you are merely employed by them! And what's more, I have no problem with that either!
I want the lad to stay at the club, he's magical to watch when he's on form & he's precisely the type of player that we need to take the club forward. But if any one of us were at a newly wealthy Russian club for instance, & Barca came calling, I think our nearest & dearest would be calling in the men with white coats if we were serious about being unmoved by the proposition!
