You guys are kidding me right, just cause he wasn't top scorer last year everyone is giving him a hard time, even with all the things he had to go through offield with the rape allegation, the injury, etc..
Robinho is a key player for brazil. And when he was at madrid he wasn't a bench player, he was a key player for them.
he in 05-06 made 51 appearances, in 06-07 made 41 appearances in 07-08 made 40 appearances. and for brazil in 6 years he's been involved with them he has had 71 caps, from these facts we can se he wasn't just a bit part player. why do you think we broke the british transfer record to sign him. And just to add to that in 07-08 he was in the top ten of the Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year nominations.
We are lucky to have him. we are lucky the Ronaldo-robinho swap deal fell through that year, and his disaggrement with madrid president led him to come here.
