He is a prick and does not belong in our team.

He is. Sorry for sounding gay, but watching that clip makes me miss him and long for him back, however hopeful and daydreamy that maybe. He is miles ahead in deserving that 10 shirt than Dzeko is.
Same goes for Elano as well

Yes. Much better to have a handful of season highlight clips than to have a team that wins games. Who needs a player that can win balls in the air, shoot from distance, hold the ball up, help out defensively, and works hard in training? Bring back Elano and Robinho.

Agree with the comments about Robbie's skill but lack of application in many away matches. The away game at Spurs just before the Hughes sacking was a disgraceful performance, especially from Robinho and Adebayor. As a signing to start us on the road to being a big club though, he has to be seen as a success and 15 goals in that first season was a good contribution.
I would love to have seen Elano under Mancini's management. Class player who Hughes couldn't handle.

I quite liked the guy, and thought he did well in his debut season (all things considered). Would I have him back though? Not a chance, for many different reasons. Infact, I can't stand the "How good would Robinho/Elano be in our current team?" debate.

Thought that Bobby would have straightened him out if given the chance. I have to thank the player for switching clubs (Whatever reason) because if he hadn't, would anyone else?

 

[Blu KB]

Dont miss the player at all, lots of talent but honestly i dont know if he would be an improvement to our first 11 now.

 

[MCFC1993]

Most skillful player I have ever seen during a game, as some say back here in a heart, everton and blackburn away were quality performances from him, 14 goals from a winger in his first season, find me a winger that has achieved that in there first season? I bet nobody has!

 

[collie41]

he was brilliant wasnt he? just watching the last two in the series of rewind on the city website reminded me what a player he was. hattrick against stoke and the chip against arsenal, one of the best city goals i have seen in the flesh.



do you think he could fit in our new system? or would he be a liability? 4th striker perhaps!

After he left a rag and i were talking about our best memories at games, his was Giggs at his best flying down the wing, whilst mine were Robinho with confidence doing his stepovers! And before u say it i'm not a kid, 42 years old and been watching games since 1974! My views have changed since tho, Silva and Mario saw to that!!

 

[collie41]

Great player, Hughes the numb nut had him tracking back into his own half! He should have been told don't come anywhere near the halfway line,stay in the last third,he could hold the ball as well.

Silva's a better player than him technically yet he can still track back and put his foot in. And so can the greatest of them all Messi.

So why should this limpfisted **** be excused hard work ?

Siva and Messi are different class, but Robi was a great player in his own right, if Mancini had got him earlier in his city career i think things would've worked out differently !

 

[razinho]

Goal against Twente (?) was an absolute stunner.

 

[scenecreamer]

Love him, wish he'd never left. He fit right in and be an amazing addition to the current team.
