Really (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

I'm still holding my breath over him, he's talking a lot of cr@p to the media right now, I'm wondering how he'll handle not being the regular starter...

Ibra imo is more of a sure thing, while Robinho still remains a mystery as to how he'll adapt to the league, how he's going to handle himself etc, etc. This is not City, he cannot act like an immature brat and go running off to Brazil the moment things don't go his way

Not that I'm doubting you, but I'm just curious as to what sort of things exactly he has said?

We are talking about Robinho here, right?! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Decently cool video

Yep I'll try to find some of the articles I've read. But in short he's just talking cr@p about city and how the coaches there didn't understand him and how it's too cold and dark over in Manchester... What did he really expect? The Hawiian tropics? It's not like Milan is the warmet place to live in either. And how Robinho is a star and can't sit on the bench (yes he talks about himself in the 3rd person too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) ) Imo he should shut his mouth and concentrate on Milan and playing well for us to justify why he should be a starter. Less talk more action.

han, you're overreacting a little. He's never said he'll be a starter. All he's been doing so far is praising our attack, and telling everyone how happy and motivated he is. Coming to Milan is an important turn in his career, so obviously he'll go mouthing off about it, who wouldn't?

He didn't say he wanted to be a starter at Milan, he was talking about Man City, saying that "Robinho cannot sit on the bench because he's a star" Yes in the third person (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

And do you seriously think that he'll want to sit on the bench at Milan? Allegri will have to work a lot of magic to keep all four of our attackers happy.

All I'm saying is he should shut up, stop talking about Man City, concentrate on what he does on the field and show them what they're missing through that. Mouthing off will only make him look bad, especially if he cannot deliver the goods on the field for us

I'm with han on this one, he should let his football do the talking especially since he hasn't played a single minute yet.

Oh, like we don't know yet that Robinho is a world class player. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

World Class players have flopped before when moving leagues/switching teams. It's not uncommon.

Also I find it so strange that you hate all that Dinho stands for, going as far as to criticise the way he dresses, but have no problems with Robinho, who has an attitude problem that Dinho certainly doesn't have and while Dinho has been one of our most important players for over a year, Robinho hasn't even played a single minute for us, and is yet to justify all the praise being heeped on him.

Lets say you got fired from your job, and you're walking out of your office and a reporter appears out of nowhere and wants to know your thoughts. Don't pretend like you wouldn't tell them what happened.

Thats exactly what Ibra and Robinho are. Disgruntled ex-employees. For my taste they are talking a bit much (especially Ibra) but I don't believe they are acting outside of how a normal person would.

Never mind how they dress or act outside of the pitch, I've always been a fan of Robinho. Every time I've seen him play, I've been impressed by his skills and desire to win. Unlike Dinho, he hasn't won as much trophies and is still very hungry for glory, which he clearly delivers on the field. Dinho is way too inconsistent for me to appreciate him. But if he manages to keep the same intensity throughout most of the season as in the game against Lecce, then I'll become his greatest fan.



+1

It's not the same. Both had a hand at getting "fired" if you want to call it that. Robinho acted like a spoiled brat once things didn't go his way, he left for Brazil to celebrate his birthday, on supposed "family problems". While Ibra obviously had major issues with his coach, and only the most naive person on the face of the earth would believe that Ibra had nothing to do with that friction.

Imo all 4 parties had their fare share of wrong doing. They're Milan players now, so why bother with taking jabs at your old club at every possible opportunity.


We'll see, no one is questioning his talent. But until he starts performing like the star he is for us, he should shut his mouth, when he does start to perform to that standard he can rub City's face in it all he wants

I am hopeful over Robinho and here is why. When he signed for Man City he was the only what you might call world class star. Also i wouldnt doubt that their intended signing of Ricky wasnt whispered in his ear. That deal fell through, he became the single player in the spolight with all Man City's fans hopes and dreams pinned on him, it was up to him to drag his team to top of league, to win anything they could that season. And it wouldnt just be the fans, would be the board etc etc. I remember some games where you could actually see it in his face, the "i cant do it alone lads!" expression.

He is now not the only star at Milan, all the weight is not on his shoulders. He is part of a huge team, with big stars all over the pitch. I hope he can flourish in this environment where he wont have to play every game, where it will not be down only to him to make the team successful. Hopefully he can enjoy the playing time he gets, enjoy his football and show us what we know he can do.

1: Brazilians generally thrive in Serie A - Robinho is a world class forward who showed in a league unsuitable for him just how good he can be. I'd rather have him in my team than Messi.

2: Ibra has a reputation of going missing in the big matches. If by sure thing you mean it's a sure thing that we can't be that sure what to expect of him bar inconsistency, then I agree. He can be so so great, but he can equally be anonymous and inneffective. He also has an ego the size of Manhattan and thinks he's better than he is.

You don't pay £160,000 a week and £34M for someone to warm the bench, tbf.
As for third person, who cares?



I'd play:

Robinho-----------Ronaldinho
---------Pato
--------------Ibra



And if he can, fans like you will forget anything he says in the press.
