Robinho.

It's frustating watching him put a man of the match performance with brazil 1 week, then the week after for city he goes missing?... if he doesn't leave this january then he's going to be in trouble when it comes to making the team sheet for brazil in the world cup when he isn't even making the starting line up for city ...

Robinho's been poor the last few times I've watched Brazil. I think it's a bit of a myth that he's good for Brazil and crap for City. He gets in the Brazil team on reputation and that alone.

Course he does. Never let the truth get in the way of a good witch hunt eh?
 
There is no better site in football than watching a skillful player take the piss out of defenders, its worth the ticket money.

Robinho however in my opinion just doesn't have the pace for the Premier League or the strength for that matter. Having said that I think it would be stupid to get rid of him without buying either a top class winger or creative mid-field player. And while we are at it we need another forward as well seen as though Adebayor is out for god knows how long, Benjani couldn't trap a bag of cement and don't get me started on Santa Crock

No problem with your opinion mate, we're all entitled to them and nothing wrong with a bit of debate like this. Some people are always biased towards thier favourite players and find it hard to say a bad word about them and that just doesn't include Robinho fans, it's the same for Bellamy fans, De Jong fans etc. One things for sure is that based on yesterdays performance everyone must to do better and i'm sure they will

A fit and on form Robinho would be a huge plus for us so i'm hoping he can return to a bit of form but at the moment he's badly out of form

I would like nothing more than him to make me look a complete c*nt and run rings round them on Tuesday.

me neither, but you've got more chance of plaiting shit, hes had more chances than i can remember, fuck the excuses the guy is paid the best part of £200,000 each week, shoots his mouth of at any opportunity he can, walks straight of the field of play and down the tunnel, fuck me even slapped arse gaynaldo sat in the dug out. ive had enough and we deserve better and better doesnt cost £32,000,000.
 
The problem with Robinho at the moment (this is just personal opinion) is that he's a one-trick pony...

If you watch Messi then you will see that although he is of a similar size / frame as Robi he can change his play depending on the opposition, he can either run with the ball if he is getting the space or if he is being closed down / man marked then he switches to simple one touch passes... Pass and move!

From what I have seen so far this season of Robi (which fair play to the lad I don't think we have seen him on form yet) is get the ball and run... And because of tight marking and tough defences he has 9/10 lost out... Stop trying to do the clever step overs and start looking for the pass!!!!!!! I bet the number of times Robi was on his ass against Everton was twice the number of successful passes...

But having said that the rest of the team didn't exactly break into a sweat trying to move into space for a pass anyway...
 
Robinho is an absolute arsehole and i cant believe city fans can come on here and defend him. How can anybody defend a player, that when he gets subbed he storms off down the tunnel like a little kid. By doing things like that he is showing a total disrespect to this club.

What does he expect?? To be able to stay on the pitch and prance about showboating and ducking out of challenges? Im not saying he should be flying into tackles like De Jong, but for gods sake he's a grown man!!!! What a wimp!!!

This is a team game Robinho. Remember that.

Craig Bellamy games played for City

Newcastle at home - Played well
Stoke away - Poor
Boro home - Good game
Pompey away - Poor
Liverpool away - Good game
West Ham away - Poor before he went off injured
Arsenal away - Poor
Blackburn away - Decent
Pompey away - Decent
Arsenal home - Outstanding
United away - Outstanding
Fulham home - Poor
West Ham home - Decent
Villa away - Played well
Fulham home - Poor
Birmingham away - Poor
Burnley home - Decent
Liverpool away - Poor
Arsenal home - Played well
Bolton away - Decent
Sunderland home - Outstanding
Wolves away - Played well
Blackburn home - Poor
Everton away - Poor

Huge difference in how the two are percieved on here yet they've both had there fair share of bad games and both had their fair share of good games since they've been at the club

I don't like bringing other players into the debate on Robinho but Bellamy is in direct competition with him and is praised left right and centre on here while Robinho is slagged off nearly every week despite only starting a handful of games this season

So Bellamy's had double the amount of good games than Robinho has and has played a lot less. You're kind of backing my argument up even more mate.

Plus when Bellamy isn't on top form, he works his balls off like any of us would and always gives 100%, Robinho hides and makes it feel like we have 10 men. Bellamy still looks a threat too when he's not playing well, whereas you know Robinho is just gonna slow down attacks and then lose it.

Not in my opinion. Do you honestly think Robinho has only had 5 games for us where he's been above average? If you think that then theres no point me having a debate with you on this subject

According to the guardian he lost the same number of tackles as Bellamy and Tevez, 3 out of 3
 
Look at how many posts come on here when Robinho crops up. He divides us city fans and its not good for our club. Can you imagine how the players feel? I bet its the same reaction. Some will enjoy playing with him, others must hate it. So for that reason.... GET RID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
This was always going to happen though. After the real madrid press conference he gave, stating he wanted to leave etc, and he never wants to play for them again. He thought chelsea were coming in for him, but it never materialised. His only option was to come to us, and lets be real he didn't really want to come here, but we paid him loads and its suited him for a time. Now he wants out, so what. it was always going to happen unfortunately. I love the fella and really want him to be a success, got his name on the bakc if my shirt etc but its time to let him go before he becomes a real problem behind the scenes just like at madrid

I really hate the use of the whole "fickle fan" argument every time people have complaints about a player. "blah blah, wheres your loyalty, show some support for him, blah blah".. Robbie is a fucking soft little brat and does not belong on the team. He plays like complete shit, complains more than anything, and shows no class whatsoever. He is not a City player and he never has been and that goes for Elano too. I'm glad he left, he should have taken Robbie with him. Those dudes have grown up getting whatever they want in their swank little brazilian estates while their mothers give them hand jobs when they have temper tantrums. Maybe he would play better with a pacifier in his mouth.

Make way for someone who really wants to work for the club, and want it bad. Robbie - Please leave.

Yet you prove you are a fickle fan your entire post is full of rubbish. Robinho cos from poverty, infact his family were so poor he could barely eat. When Pele discovered him he was playing football barefooted with plastic bags stuffed with newspapers. His mother was kidnapped while he was a Santos player and almost murdered as they blackmailed his family so he moved them all to Spain by joining Madrid. I work in Brazil for about 6 months of every year and a council estate here is a mansion compare to the poor there. If you dont know what you taling about shuttup.

People said Ronaldinho was finished he scored a hat trick yesterday..
People said Ronaldo was finished and fat he has 17 goals in 24 starts.
People said Adriano was finished he is joint top scorer in the Brazil league with Ronaldo.

Stick to subjects you know about as football is obviously not one of those and to insult someones mother
just because you dont like how he plays is as low as it gets.


You FICKLE FUCK!!!.
 
Frankly Mr Mancini
This position I've held
it pays my way and it corrodes my soul
I want to leave, you will not miss me
I want to go down in footballing history.
 
I'm sure Robinho will come good, he truly is a talented player and is capable of the extrodinary as we saw against Arsenal, Twente, Stoke and Everton to name a few last season. His problem at the minute however is that he has to be in the worst form he has been in since he has played in Europe. This to me is down to his confidence being shot and being subed after coming of the bench to start with would of hurt him on Saterday. What we all have to remember is that Mancini got the best out of the like of Ibrahimovic and Adriano on a reguler basis at Inter and i'm sure he has the man-management skill's to extract Robinho's best form.

Robinho is a player that want's to be the best and if he takes in Mancini's advice andis prepared to work hard (and that's the big question to his name atm) he can go on and be a world star much like he was when he first arrived here. But, if he's not willing to buy into Mancini's work ethics he should be offloaded in the summer.

I believe in Robinho on the basis of what I saw last season and if he get's back to it we have one hell of a player in our squad.
 
We haven't got time for him to come good because we are going places and he's not.
