s to offload the £32.5m British record signing on loan to Brazilian club Santos.

Attempts to re-ignite Barcelona's interest in the Brazil forward by offering him on loan until the end of the season have been met with a cool response from the European champions, who have told City that Robinho is no longer a leading target. But Santos, who sold him to Real Madrid for £20m in 2005, are in talks with City over a short-term move for the 25-year-old.

Although the clubs have yet to agree financial aspects of the deal, which would involve Santos paying a substantial portion of Robinho's £160,000-a-week wages, City sources believe a compromise can be reached. Manager Roberto Mancini has been dismayed by Robinho's performances and has told the club's football administrator, Brian Marwood, that he is ready to part with the player. Despite making an instant impact at Eastlands following his surprise move from Real in September 2008, Robinho scored just three goals in 2009 and none so far this season.

He has made regular comments about his desire to play for Barcelona, but Mancini's decision to replace him at Everton last Saturday -- 51 minutes after introducing him as a substitute -- prompted club officials to re-evaluate his future.

With Mancini preparing to rest key players such as Shay Given, Gareth Barry and Carlos Tevez at Scunthorpe, Robinho could yet figure at Glanford Park after being named in City's travelling squad.

Having sanctioned the loan of City youngster Vladimir Weiss to Bolton, Mancini said the prospects of AC Milan midfielder Mathieu Flamini and Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini arriving at Eastlands this month appear slim.

Mancini said that Flamini was playing very well at Milan, who were unlikely to let him go, while Chiellini was "the best defender in Italy right now, so it is impossible for Juventus to lose him."

Meanwhile, Carlos Tevez and Gary Neville have received a final warning from the English FA and will face disciplinary action if they continue their verbal feud in the build-up to Wednesday's Carling Cup semi-final second-leg between City and Manchester United. (©Daily Telegraph, London)

So tomorrow could be the final appearance by Robbie such a waste of talent for me, so good yet so damn lazy now lets get him replaced.
 
I'll believe it when I see it on the os. Until then, another useless rumor about Robbie. No offense to the OP, I know your just posting what you read.
 
Its in more than one paper, so it could have legs. Now you wish that we'd have taken the chance to sell him to Barca at the beginning of the month, because if he doesn't get a move to Santos, I can really see him causing shit off the field. As much talent that he has, he has no care for the club, and only thinks about himself. Good luck wherever Robi, at least you were the signing that kicked it all off.

You would 'love' us letting the most expensive signing in British football history leave for fuck all?

You would 'love' that more than Mancini getting the best out of him, and him fulfilling his potential it seems. No doubt you magically know that 'will never happen' so can justify such a ridiculous thought.

Not sure Chiellini is all that creative lol.

We need to be strengthening our attacking options in midfield, not weakening them.
