"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!

You'd be surprised how 47,000 fans chanting your name will do for your affections.

I always remember watching one of Rosler's first games at City. I think that it's fair to say that he was never adored at any of his previous clubs in the same way that City fans took to him. I'll never forget the moment that he was subbed off late in the game, and the whole of Maine Road erupted in a Rosler chant. The guy had tears in his eyes leaving the pitch and I knew at that exact moment that he'd always be remembered as part of the club.

Rosler didn't come here loving City, but he certainly left it having done so.

Give Robbie time, it's not exactly like he was the darling of Madrid, and worshipped in the same way that he is at the CoM. To be honest, as soon as he scores this season, I think an awful lot of happiness and release of frustration is going to boil over. He can tell that he's been dying for a goal, and it's just not happening for him at the moment.

You can also feel the atmosphere in the crowd when he's about to shoot, there's a weird vibe that's just willing the ball in to the back of the net.

Although I agree with you that being loved is an important thing for a player, with the greatest of respect to a blue legend, Uwe Rosler was no Robinho & a club ofBarcelona's stature never showed an interest in him! If they had, & he hadn't been seriously interested, again, it would have been peculiar in the extreme.

These are professional sportsmen, & as much as being loved by the fans you play for is a nice thing to have, the prestige of playing for one of the biggest clubs on the globe should be more important. If not, I'd begin to question their professionalism!

We might have money these days, but until we begin consistently winning the big, big trophies over a significant period of time, we won't have the prestige that a club like Barcelona can offer players of the calibre of Robinho.

Like I say, I desperately want the lad to stay - I just think that the choice in that will be more to down to Barcelona & Robinho than it will be Manchester City!

If he can show some consistency and have more good games than bad games from now on then we have a truly brilliant player. His performance against Chelsea proved he is now willing to put in a shift and track back and I think we have to thank both Hughes for coaching him that and Bellers for raising the bar in that position. I don't believe that he'll stay for 10 years but it's nice to hear him making the right noises.

I'm just beleiving it's all coming together for proper now, oooh vonky vonky!!

Well we'll wait & see I suppose & I'm being careful not to come across as a "Robbi Outer", as nothing could be further from the truth! I think he's a brilliant player & firmly believe we should do everything we can both as a club & as supporters to get him to stay.

I just don't believe any of the guff that footballer's come out with about loyalty to clubs & love of the shirt & all that! I can assure you that it doesn't exist & if he receives what he believes to be a better offer (for whatever reason) from elsewhere, he will do all he can to make that move happen.
