Robinho - What Could Have Been?

You're right, you are wrong. He's never scored at Stoke.
He scored a hat-trick at home against them though.

Robinho was made the scapegoat for EVERY poor away performance in his first season here. People didn't seem to realize that we had another 10 players on the pitch with him and that he was being man marked by 2 or 3 players every game.

You know why he was marked by 2 or 3 players? It was because he took so long doing stepovers for his first defender, that two or three more had all the time in the world to stroll over to him.
In that season when he got his 14 goals, by the way, he never scored after 28th December!
Hughes had nothing to do with his signing, which has already been pointed out and still he gets the blame.
That bit in bold is actually wrong, he scored against West Brom, Blackburn and Everton in the final few weeks of the season.

Yes I understand tactics.
But I fail to see how such a 'luxury' of a player like Robinho could in any way shape or form add anything to the side we have now.
Genuine here, tell me who you would drop and give me your first eleven with Robinho in it.


did you read the bit where said he isnt better than our top 5. and it's a squad game.
Have now yes. But I still fail to see even more now what you are trying to say about R.

im just saying underthis style of play he would more likely suceed than the sucidal hughes tactics, that was all, i dont see what the issue is
 
him and tevez could have had a right whinge together like a pair of moaning old greedy twats

say what you want about what a twat robinho was ( and robinho was a massive twat) , but i honestly believe mark hughes hung robinho out to dry that night at spurs. it was the night i finally realised hughes wasn't going to be good enough

He was a wonderful player, possibly the most technically gifted I've seen at City, but could you imagine him putting in the sort of shift that Milner and Silva put in on Sunday?

Yes i can, I remember him doing his best to track back, tackle etc we treated him like shit imo.

Mancini treated him as bad if not worse than Hughes, anyway he has gone doing great at milan.
 
People have short memories. When Robinho first came here his work rate was good, certainly in the opponents' half pressing. A 24 year old, fresh Robinho would be dynamite in our side at the moment. If he could get in.
