Robinho.

I think he should start against United. He's going to start playing well sooner or later.

Mancini needs to take him to one side and say "look mate, I know your having a shitter right now but i'm going to start you against United and you ARE going to rip them to shreds, OK??"

Job done.
 
I watched my first City Game in 1973. Four generations of my family have been/are blues. Been through relegations, promotions, umpteen changes of manager. Shit signings, good signings, you name it. I live down south now so only get to see them live these days a few times a year but always get some TV feed of games via the links on this site.

I can honestly say that in all those years of supporting the blues, Robinho is the most lazy, mard-arsed waste of space I have ever seen in sky blue. It is an insult for a guy earning more money in one week than 99% of the population does in a year to have no interest in doing his job. We know when he plays for Brazil. somehow he can miraculously be arsed. We should have known what we were getting into when he had a bad attitude even at Real Madrid. He clearly doesnt want to be here, doesnt care about doing what hes paid to do, has enough money never to work again, has no respect for the fans or his team-mates. He was utterly anonymous in yesterday's game. I would like to see him offloaded on a free transfer.Fook recouping the money. You would be better off signing a replacement from Stalybridge Celtic

needs to go, total waste of space in this league. its obvious he is class but as soon as he gets put against a big defender he shits his pants and is a waste of oxygen

HAHAHAHAHAHHAAH AHAHA HAHAHAHA...... oh wait, youre actually being serious?

Of course Iam are you that stupid.......HAHAHAHAHA oh yes you probably are
 
Yet another knee jerk thread.

Suppose for the sake of argument that we ignore how brilliant Robinho can be, suppose we ignore the fact that yesterday everyone else was crap too, suppose we ignore the fact that Robinho had scored more this time last season than Tevez has this season, and suppose the 'Robinho out' numptys get their way.

Who do we want to be playing next season? I thought we were aiming at champions league football. All you hear is 'not suited to the hurly burly of the premier league, get rid.' What do we do, sign another Dannhy Tiatto and watch us get outclassed away at Valencia or Lyon? If next season we got to the knockout stages of the champions league and had a decent run in two domestic cup competitions we would end up playing around 65-70 games. Some of those are going to be the sort of games in which Robinho will flourish, others will not.

All the 'Robinho out' merchants you might want to think about where we want to be this time next year, and whether we would be better off with Robinho in a champions league squad of 25 or better off without him. We're all hurting after yesterday. Just get a grip ffs.
 
Hes been given plenty of opportunitys now under two differant managers and he's let them/us down........either take him out the spotlight and let him play reserve team football or better still do a swap deal (no prem club will touch him now for sure). Its quite obvious mcfc dont float his boat.

What games this season has he been "brilliant"?

How many away games last season was he "brilliant"?

Some people have been hoodwinked by the Robinho myth.

He wasn't subbed for nothing yesterday.

Hughes wasn't fooled.

Nor has Mancini.

Real couldn't wait to get rid.

He is only "brilliant" in flashes, every now and then.

He calls himself world class. He's not fit to lace Messi's boots atm.
 
constantly thinking he will turn it around, now im not so sure. if he just gave some inkling that he actually wanted to be at City it would make me feel more confident. but i think this glimmer of hope is gone. unless roberto instigates a total change in attitude and form on the pitch we have to cut our losses and get rid

Did you actually go to any home matches last season or did you just watch away matches on Sky?

If you didn't see the home games against eg Hamburg, Stoke, Arsenal you missed a real treat. You missed being entertained.

Why thank you, Mr nonowt

Ok, can you tell us exactly why you would start Robinho ahead of Bellamy then?
Probably cos of this:

1. He's injured.
2. Rape case.
3. Give him another season.
4. Hughes hates him.
5. He plays just off the striker.
6. He's playing off the wrong striker.
7. Infact no, he is a left sided player after all.
8. You have to keep playing him as he has a "moment of magic" than can "change a game", despite no examples.
9. He's still working out how to adapt.
10. He's not used to the weather.
11. He sweats so that must mean he tries.
12. He is funny off the pitch though.
13. He has "inho" in his name and is Brazilian.

And finally for the brazilians/under 12's/his family:

14. He was the best player on the pitch again and you all watched a different game.

Bellers has not been 100% for quite a few games, including yesterday. I think that Robbie & Bellers sharing that position would be beneficial.
Bellers could be 1 game away from injury the way his play seems a little restricted.
Getting Rid of Robbie (without a replacement) would leave us with very few options. We are injury wracked.
 
Dummy's back in now. Robbie was bad yesterday no doubt but petrov, garrido and zabba were easily worse . As for Santa cruz, 18 million for a few cameo's, what a wanker

City fans near me were actually blaming robinho for the defeat yesterday,now thats clueless

I'm not talking about getting rid of him. You said you'd start with him. This, in my humble opinion of course, is quite astonishingly foolish.

Bellamy, even when having a shocker, tries his heart out and will raise the games of others around him. I have faith that he cares about us and the club, can we say that about Robinho? How many goals has Robinho scored again this season? I'm afraid we can't play him into form. We haven't got the time.

Bellamy's worse game since he joined us has been better than any Robinho performances this season.
