What are you talking about?
The only season he played we spent £100 million and slid two places down the table.

Everyone has a right to an opinion, even one as bizarre as that one unfortunately.
So, it's all down to Robinho? Well, at least we have a replacment for the B of the Bang. A Robinho statue. It's what he deserves.

We are not clueless muppetts, unlike the clueless Muppett that did spend (or waste) over £100m.
Had Robinho not been here we would have been lower in the league....in my opinion.

At what point have I said it is ALL down to Robinho???
My opinion is that he was instrumental in us not failing as much as we would have done.

The twat then goes on to say that Stoke and Sunderland have made good signings and to cap it all, when asked if he thought Utd's lack of activity, particularly no action on signing a ball playing midfielder, was down to lack of money, he says 'they don't need a ball player, they have Scholes Carrick and, wait for it, Fletcher. He just couldn't bring himself to answer the question.
I know I shouldn't watch it etc, but you can't turn the tv on thsee days without some nobody having a dig. I wish we'd get on with it and become successful to rub these arse holes noses into the ground.
he's right it was bad business..........even my thick blue tinted glasses can't hide that fact!!

Whilst I don't rate Hughes, I think most of his buys in that first season were good.
SWP, De Jong, Kompany, Bellamy and Given are the ones I remember.
And he didn't sign Robinho. The Sheikh did.
I could easily make an argument that he cost us as many points as he won us that season, but it would be hypothetical.
He's a skillful player in the right league - a very skilful one. But he's not going down as a City legend for me- far from it. He's been a liability.

I don't know but my guess would be he made us virtually nothing in merchandise.
