Whilst Manchester City fans are over the blue moon about their latest signing of Robinho, who would have signed for anyone to get away from Real Madrid, his home nation are less than impressed!
Pele
“Chelsea are lucky. This boy needs some serious counselling.”
Marcelo Teixeira, club president of Robinho’s first club, Santoa
“This is one of the most disgraceful episodes in Brazilian football. He is a player who is an idol to children – an example – but he has not acted like one.”
Jose Fernandos, general manager of Santos
“We are ashamed at having produced such a player.”
Ohhh City are a massive club.

i don’t understand how man city and also chelsea can call themselves big clubs!! i just don’t get it…you are suppose to have the right to call yourselves big clubs based on what you have achieved and not on how rich your owner is!! for example man utd..everyone tought they they were never going to win a trophy again just becauce mr.abromavich was investing all those millions in the club…but look at united, they have won every single title there is to win since abromavich took over at chelsea, and the one trophy that abromavich wants the most he never won it!!so if city think that money is going to buy them success they have another thing coming!! and i don’t blame the city supporters for being over the moon with joy becauce they never where a big club and if they think they are going to become a big club i’ve just got one thing to say to them>>> achieve more trophies than liverpool and man utd and then we’ll talk again…cause if all of you city supporters and also chelsea fans are going around the cities saying that your clubs are huge all of you are looking like complete idiots cause money does not make you no1 in football, trophies make you the best club in the world like real madrid, barcelona, liverpool and man utd!! and if you have the guts to read this article you know that i am right
Yes….They are The Biggest Club in the world………and everyone knows they are going to win everything…………..Jackanory…Jackanory..Jackanory
Ouch, some harsh words, what made me laugh was when Robinho said he couldn’t be the best player in the world at Real… Well, at least Pele has a point, Man City remind me of a loser, the kind of guy who waits for a girl to be distraught about something and then come in and try to take advantage, but obviously in footballing terms! Real Madrid sure did score a number on Robinho.
Not trying to defend City here, but Robinho…
All these people talk rubbish and condemn the boy’s behaviour, but what about Real Madrid’s part in all this? They apparently offered him as a make-weight for Ronaldo, and even if this was not true, they never re-assured the lad or made any gesture representing their desire to keep him. If that wasn’t enough, he was then refused to go represent his country in the olympics by Real!!
The club showed a huge disregard for the boy, also refused to offer him a new contract (he was earning less than Drenthe!) and since they apparently didn’t have any strong desire to keep him, why should he show any desire to stay where he is considered dispensable?
Give the lad a break, he just wanted out of that hell-hole of lies and deceit called Real Madrid and when Peter ‘Money-grabbing Cunt’ Kenyon fucked it up at the last minute, he went with his only other option, Man Shitty.
No doubt he would have loved to be with Scolari and Chelsea, but you could see in his actions and mannerisms all thru the summer that Real were no more in his thoughts after the way he was treated by them.
At least, Real madrid are being shown up for what they truly are. After all their underhanded tactics, the fake lure they present to these players, it’s good to see a player finally expose them.
Worried about City by any chance? I think its hilarious
NO Sean………..It’s too funny for words
Chelsea are a big club mate number 1 in europe, ask uefa
Worried…oh dear there’s no point in them building a squad, they’ve already won about twenty champions leagues in their little minds, bless….oh, and fifty premier leagues, cos they’ve got a million billion trillion quid lol
£32 Million for a player that didn’t want to sign…
£32 Million for a player that didn’t want to sign…

OH CITY ARE A MASSIVE CLUB!
Ace, 2 titles in 53years and 0 european cups tells its own story. The fans don’t go wild when you hoist your uefa rankings in the air
Ace – come on man, you’re talking about the ranking based on the past 5 years in the Champions League? That’s honestly how you think one should measure the size of a club? lol.
Related article, on Robinho and his move to City:
However, it appeared the 24-year-old’s deadline day move had still to sink in when he said: “On the last day, Chelsea made a great proposal and I accepted.”
To this a reporter replied: “You mean Manchester, right?”. “Yeah, Manchester, sorry!” answered Robinho.

I have to agree with Gabriel. The boy was treated like dirt and he was right to go. Ronaldo,take note, this is how Real treat their players !!!
I welcomed the news of Robinho’s signing. Everyone in Manchester is a winner.
Not only did the Bitters stop smug Chelsea from signing him but Ray Spoon at Real has been made to lose face yet again. The good news for City is they now have not one but two exciting forwards with their purchase of Wright-Phillips both capable of playing 1 good game in 10.
lol@ hoist your eufa rankings in the air
robinho seems a jumped up clown , he and citeh are a great match.
doesn’t look cut out for the prem lge to me, i look forward to him kissing his porto/milan/valencia/ajax badge in the next 18 months and telling us all how it has been his dream since he was a young child to play in italy portugal holland insert wherever he ends up
David Falzon spot on mate…
Gabriel concur with your points too
F**ck Off you shower of Mancunian S**t .

i dont know any chelsea fans who go around saying we are a big club the only one saying this is peter kenyon please take him back. ps but we are a top 4 club and in the future you never know
Hey eugene! Give us a kiss
Whaddamatter eugene, are the nasty boys picking on your club??
“Spurs tried to make Berbs sign for cideh, but he said no, no, no…..”
Ace…i can’t believe you just said that…2 premier league titles after 50 years…who knows you may have been dead before Chelsea will lift another…How old are you by the way?
He is far to lightweight for the premiership, he will get kicked all over the pitch, I bet Tony Hibbert’s eyes light up when he heard he was comming to our league.
