Yeah... I wish we'd got Berbatov on the last day of the transfer window. I mean, everybody (journalists/ pundits/ fans)agrees that he's been a fantastic bit of business by the wonderful, wonderful manager of the world's only football club(TM). Sure, sure, he does have his odd off day, as well as some lazy moments too but hey, you can't argue with a return of eight goals in a settled team that's running away with everything they've entered (except the Super Cup - they didn't want the Super Cup, you see). All from what, a 28 year old in only his third season in English football?
Compare that return to Robinho. Same money (more or less) and what have the world's craziest football club (TM) got in return? A mere 12 goals in a team that's been in a constant state of flux and earlier flirted with the relegation zone. I mean this guy has had lazy moments and off days, so he has, so he has, so he has! And all this is from what, a 23/ 24 year old in his first season in English football?
Yeah, get rid! It's not as if he's one of the top ten players playing the game today, or anything, is it? Get rid and let's just sit back and wait for the rest of the cream of world football to come knocking down our door, when they've seen how well we've handled a ten week spell of indifferent form from the best player we've had in thirty years (including Kinkladze).
This thread is right up there with the guy who demanded the apology, the other night and, that other keyboard hero who wanted to pop Petrov in at left back. Tell ye what lads, give over slavishly following every piece of drivel out of the media, turn off the computer and go out and kick a ball around for an hour. Some of ye might, accidentally, learn something about the game that ye seem to have no compunctions around spouting off about.
And yeah, I do know Robinho has been off form in the last couple of games. We're also hard up for quality strikers, at the moment. So maybe, just maybe, he hasn't been able to get the well-earned rest from the first team that his earlier performances deserve? Crazy notion, I know, actually thinking that the guy is only human, after all...
