On the plus side, you'll all be well happy when Robbie goes and we're left looking to Tevez to entertain/score/do something. Nice one. I'm excited.
'Of course he talks to us about it,' Santa Cruz told Catalunya Radio. 'And the players are cracking jokes about it in the dressing room.
'In the English papers there's a lot of interest about Barca and Robinho is also not hiding his desire to play for them one day. But I guess we'll see.'
TMQ .. I have Robinho on the back of my shirt, even when at RM i always thought he was a top top player and when he came here i was literally gobsmacked .. the guy is a genius and i would love for him to stay .. look at the circumstances he came here in though without blue tinted specs on .. i think even if burnley came in for him on "that" day he would have signed .. but there is too much being said here and too often for there not to be some sort of deal going on .. city are denying it in my opinion to keep the fans happy .. he will be gone sooner or later IMO .. it will be a shame but we have to move on and get ready for games without him and get in a suitable replacement that actually wants to play for us ..

I took that to mean he spoke about the speculation, I can't see him telling the other players he's definitely unhappy and wants to leave but maybe that's just me.
It will be a shame, a great shame and he will not be replaced. At best we'll sign another winger and continue to make hard work of games as we shoe horn any old wank into a 442 and revel in only losing one game whilst not managing to win.
SosaFC said:You're right TMQ .. we won't get anyone who can replace Robinho like for like as no 2 footballers are the same no matter how much people label this player or that "the next ...." it never happens in any sport .. but what we can do is get another player in who will make his own name and maybe hughes will go back to 4-3-3 .. when he sees what all the rest of us see .. Ribiery will do .. if not use what we have and get the best out of them ..
