I would like to see what sort of WC he has. Secondly if he came back it would have to be for the right reasons. If we get top four there are bigger and better marquee players out there who will improve our team no end. The money side of his transfer won't matter a jot to our owners his signing alone launched us into the spotlight, sucess on the pitch without him is now more important. I wish him well wherever he plys his trade, he could have been an absolute legend but time stands still for no one and no one is guaranteed legendary status, it has to be earned and unfortunately in his case it hasn't.
Not interested in marquee players. I'm interested in match-winners. players who can change a game in an instant with a moment of magic. Robinho can do what Messi does, and I bet he will light up the World Cup then you will all want him back
I know he didn't play well for City this season. But he's a young player who needed to feel wanted, and instead he got a lot of criticism which eventually got to him.
I think he's the type of player you need to build a team around. Instead he was stuck out on our left wing, and sometimes 15mins could pass by without him touching the ball. In a better City team, he could be more effective.
Take a team like Chelsea, or Barcelona. They ball just zips about the pitch whatever the opposition. And when it gets to the forwards in the final third they really hurt the opponents. When Robinho was at City we lacked the ability to hold possession, and Robinho was often a luxury player stuck out on the fringes of the game who might not touch the ball for 10 minutes at a time.
Players like Robinho can't carry average teams. But they can enhance very good teams and deliver that something special that very few players can do.
May just be talking rubbish, but going to watch Robinho always felt exciting, and I was always willing him on to prove his critics wrong. Very disappointing the way it "ended". I know it went wrong, but I hope he feels he has unfinished business. If he doesn't come back and prove he can play in the Premiership it will always be a blot on his career and it will be difficult for him to go down as one of the World's best players.
