Wasn't Robinho supposed to be one, Statement I suppose but one of our worse signings for the money.

To be fair you're bang on there, he was a marquee signing.

To be fair you're bang on there, he was a marquee signing.

And what a signing!

I know know he didn’t turn out to be Merlin nor Sergio, but it was fantastic having Robinho - one of the megastars of world football at the time - at my little club and it was just an amazing feeling.

After the news of the takeover by Sheikh Mansour, the the fact that he was joining us was brilliant.

I remember saying to Mrs Vienna, while we were waiting for confirmation of the deal to come through, that even if we didn’t sign any one, it was the best deadline day ever.

It probably still is.

is Giggsy included in this calculation?

 

[Bobbyespania]

Well galactico a wrong choice of word to describe him, but arguably was world class when he signed for City

When we signed David Silva he wasn’t that well known outside of spain and with most if not all our signings in the last few years have been under the radar of most fans and other clubs. Robinho was really the only player that most knew about.

is Giggsy included in this calculation?

No, he needs to go out on loan to someone like Scunthorpe to get a bit of experience.

I remember the media claiming we had signed the wrong David. They reckoned we should have gone for Villa, just surprised they didn't say Unsworth.

Experience in what; fighting?
