He doesn't want to play for us so we must look to offload but I would take him back tomorrow if he decides to commit and work like he does with ease for Brazil...otherwise-offload and let him play for Santos..Oh I forgot they can't afford him...

Come on Robbi..the faithful will always forgive

Let's get him back and get on with it.

We have a much better set up now at Manchester City than we had when he went on loan to Santos.
If Roberto Mancini is the manager I believe he is and Robinho is the world class player we all know he is then I'm sure everyone can benefit in the forthcoming season.
Players like Robinho just get better when the players around them are good,just look at Brazil.Robinho is actually playing better than Kaka now.

We are certainly going to have an excellent team if any of the players mentioned in the press join us in the summer and we know some have or will.

hes our player first season he was terriffic he is star of the world cup brazil build a team round him keep him and do the same cos i want entertainment from the worlds best players at eastlands

He was playing BADLY for us and he went away and did something about it!!
Unlike the usual suspects that sit back moan and take there money.
He looks a better player, bring him back, with the protecttion of Yaya he will have the freedom that he needs to allow him to thrive.
If he doesnt want to come back then sell him, but not on the cheap.

Get Robbi back

Its fine playing out of your skin for 7 games or so and look truly world class on the global stage but I believe 50 odd games a season outside the glare of the world spotlight is beyond him (and Elano)

Robinho is 100% class. Hope all the City fans noticed the use of ONE TOUCH by Robinho throughout the game and his work rate covering every blade of grass.

How on earth we have got ourselves into this position with a truly world class player is beyond belief.

City fans have short memories on how good he was in the first season. AND they forget that last September, playing a friendly for Brazil, he broke his ankle and was out injured for 3 months.

Get Robbie back now or get a decent price for him. If no club is interested at a decent price, bring him back and stick him on the bench until he realises he will have to change.

If the crowd get behind him the smile will soon come back and the goals will flow.

KEEP ROBBO! LIKE GILLY BLUE SAYS IT CAN ONLY GET BETTER

If he comes back and plays well then fair play to him.

I for one am doubtful.

I really hope I'm proved wrong.

PROVE ME WRONG ROBBIE!!!

Come on Holland!

Yep bring him back and sell him on now his 'stock' is rising, he's proved he dosen't want to be in Manchester, let us down and made a sackfull of cash. Financially Robbie, it's payback time.

What my Blue brothers who post on here seem to forget is that Robi does not want to play for our beloved City....he wants to play for Santos or Barcelona but definitely not City...even when 40000 scream out his name he does not "feel the love" that Ade and Bellers do....he puts Brazil ahead of City....he does not feel that he has to prove anything except pitch up,when he wants to.....the only thing that makes him happy is the 160k per week he gets paid....by the way he is the highest paid star in the EPL....after 45 years of supporting the greatest team in the world,I will not prostitute my basic beliefs,ethics and morals and give in...he's a talented spoilt brat who could have been a legend here,but will never be anything more than a head and heart ache....

With luck it will stick another zero on the end of his transfer fee when he eventually goes, which will hopefully be sooner rather than later.

One decent game a season seems to be beyond Ireland.

How on earth we have got ourselves into this position with a truly world class player is beyond belief.

City fans have short memories on how good he was in the first season. AND they forget that last September, playing a friendly for Brazil, he broke his ankle and was out injured for 3 months.

1st Point - Ask Mark Hughes
2nd Point - Most City fans don't have short memories. His goals in his first season got us to 10th place (4th from bottom without them?)
It is the Manu media who slag him (and Elano) off. Anything to snipe at City. For example, Barry loses the ball the other day on the end of the Germany box - something Rooney did endlessly - but it it Barry's fault that the Germans run 80 yds past our one solitary defender to score. Unbelievable.

Be careful. Robinho always plays well against Chile. They're a soft touch.

Let's see how he does against Holland. I hope he plays well and comes back. And he would come back if he had a real role to play in the new-vamped team. But if Brazil lose against Holland, he and others will be so slammed in Brazil that he'll never be a good player again, like Ronaldinho Gaucho, Ronaldo, Adriano, Juninho Pernambucano, Cafu, R Carlos etc after the loss to France in 2006. Only Kaka and Lucio survived.

We should also have never let Elano go. He was a creative passer and always put players in one-on-one situations with the goalkeeper, when idiot MH wasn't asking him to play De Jong's or Richard's roles that is.

Brazil's approach is very complicated, and Robinho is part of the package. But, basically, Brazil doesn't allow its forwards to drift back to help out much, (coz they bring opposing defenders with them to their own defence) coz if the midfield or defence get the ball back again, then there's nobody upfield to pass it to. MH couldn't grasp that simple principle, (nor could Rooney against Russia when he rushed back to help the defence, committed a foul and Russia scored the equalizer from the free-kick) and then RM inherited a disilusioned, spoiled little brat.

What I don't want at City is a team of tryers. I would like to see gifted players, disciplined, coz they get paid millions, and creative and intelligent on the pitch. I'd prefer Robinho and Elano's off-the-field manners to Gerrard's fights, Terry's & Cole's affairs and Rooney's swearing. I'd prefer to see every England intnl out, Barry, Bridge, Lescott, SWP, Richards OUT; all ABSOLUTELY USELESS I'd prefer to see real talent like Ramires, Neymar, Nilmar, Patos or our own Ashley Young than truck-drivers like Milner. I don't want to see Bellamy anymore. Sick of his tantrums. I don't wanna see Adebayor wearing Arsenal or gangland t-shirts, nor do I wanna see RSC/Veira warming the bench with no function.

I don't blame Cook or any of City's board for some bad signings. They've brought us hope and ambition at last. I used to get sick of hearing City fans saying they'll be glad to stay up or finish in the top 10. I grew up when City had Bell, Lee and Summerbee. I can NEVER accept less than those days, and anyone who plays a sport and demands a fortune in wages should expect to be the best, that's why I like players who train their skills, believe in themselves, don't cry, know their strengths and weaknesses and know where they want to be at the end of the season; Tevez, De Jong, Kompany, Zabaleta, Given, Hart (who went off to improve himself like Robinho) , and I want us to retain the talent that we have to be shaped into winners, faster runners and better thinkers, like the Johnsons, Weiss, Ireland, (Very Brazilian in skill, but too slow at present to be a Brazilian.....) Zabaleta and others.

We have a great future, but we should never pay a lot for pure rubbish and work-horses like cross-the-ball-in-Milner when we have Robinho on a contract.

Seems to me that when he knows he's in a team full of good players he'll play as part of that team. But, with City he thinks he's the only good player on the pitch and only plays if he feels like it.

Get rid.

I would love to see Robinho fully committed to the blue cause and playing as if he was playing for Brazil, but I'm afraid it won't happen. He has neither said nor done anything to convince me that he wants out, and the biggest insult of all was when he was reported as saying that City are a small club with a lot of money. And why he joined us in the first place when he was already at Europe's most famous and fashionable club is a mystery to me. It surely couldn't be for the money with a club like Real, could it?

So the cynic in me hopes that Robbie will have an outstanding World Cup campaign, his valuation will sharply rise and we use him as a part-ex swap with a leading light at Barca. Hopefully everyone will be satisfied then.

We all knew he could play. But in the Prem League maybe not, its all about hustle and bustle the Prem League, and not about players who can really play. That is evident in the England team performances.. They do okay but when they come up against quality players who can control instantly, pass accurately and bewilder people with their movement, they are lost.

Prem League may be exciting to watch but personally I would prefer to watch proper football players.....

he can't cut it in the prem league, plus he don't want to play for us, he came for the money full stop!! GET RID!!

Love him or hate him, isn't it amazing to see two players from our club running the show for arguably the two best teams in the world on two consecutive nights in the biggest comp in the world!. .Around 10 years ago when we had the likes of Paul Beasley,Spencer Prior,Buster Phillips(Englands 1st 10 pence player)and Alan 'for gods sake' Kernaghan and the list goe's on and on.. could we ever imagined being in this position a mere 10 or so years later? No- I would of said you were on Persian rugs if you of said anything of the slightest.I love this club and I love where its going.. to the very top! COME ON CITY! COME ON CITY! COME ON CITY!

so what , he wants out so get rid

I agree 100% with "Chris-Sao Paulo, JP, Brazil"

The Big-4 media are desperate to portray Robinho as a failure, to keep the status quo. It is impossible that we can not find a way to make this player happy and productive for us. But we have to move on beyond the "every player has to defend" mentality that is fine for the workhorse teams, but not a team heading to the top.

Looking forward to Nigel De Jongs first tackle on the little brat.
Get it in early Pit Bull even if its late!!

He hit a good finish and had a decent game but he hasn't exactly set the world on fire.

End of the day, we know Brazilians will play out of their skin for the national team.

Robinho has a lot to prove at club level in Europe. Like Madrid, we've been impressed with what he CAN do, but disappointed with what he most often does do.

Maybe he just doesn't want to prove it in Europe. Maybe he wants to live in Brazil and play for Brazil. That's fine, except for the big contract he put his name to and the large amounts of money involved.

I'd love to see him at his best for City again, but club football requires consistency, and we've seen little evidence of that.
