5 matches till season end, but it shouldn't affect the outcome. I think we can all vote now, it's "player of the season".

[il_diavolo_mtl]

I didn't really brought stats into this. I defended Robinho by telling what he does well, only used the stat that he is topscorer along Pato and Zlatan, since il diavolo mtl said that he could be topscorer if..

to be fair i had no idea he had tied with ibra and pato...
I'll gladly concede this.

Questioning Robinho's professionalism is, pardon me, a very disgraceful thing. The guy has pretty much the highest working rate of our attacking line

/He has to! if he couldn't finish AND couldn't run he would stiff from riding the bench all year)

. He's always played for the team

/I have personally seen him take SOO many passes when better finishers were in better positions. Before you bring up Pato as being a selfish player, let me agree with you and point out that Pato goals/game ratio is the highest on the team. Also where does team play factor in when you score a lucky goal of a GK deflection and you run to the closest camera and do a solo dance like you out-classed the keeper? He even tries to hijack other players' goal celebrations with that useless samba step.

, sacrificed himself in positions which aren't ideal to his playing style

/Tactical sacrifice, any player in world professional or not has to do it from time to time.

and he has never spurred any negative behavior

/his diving and his giggle and pray after he screws up routine does get me most of the time(i'll admit he's not the only one who does it though)

. The guy has been exemplary in such aspect and you should never question his professionalism

/the only player that has deserved that respect is Thiago silva, everyone else can be questioned IMO, no matter how much you may disapprove.

His chance wasting isn't due to a laid back attitude

/in life as well as in football, practice makes perfect. If he , for whatever reason, thinks he doesn't need to try hard enough to actually aim a shot, then this becomes an attitude/insolence problem.

the guy simply feels too much pressure when in front of the goal. That, and perhaps a little bit of rustiness he might have accumulated in the last year or so

/Without counting the 13 games at Santos,his last good season was 08-09

, when he wasn't really playing on high levels. And even despite that, his season was great. Just imagine how much more useful he could become if his finishing improved, which I'm certain it will happen starting from next season. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

/i hope as much as the next guy he understands he needs to fight for a starting place on this team and goes through the necessary training to have a minimum of accuracy.

+ 1 Billion

Of all things to call him, unprofessional is the last.

If accuracy was so easy to train the whole world would be professional footballers. Haters gonna hate.

ok seriously, have you ever heard of practice makes perfect?

If your profession was to kick a ball for a living and trained with elite coaches and players several times a week, I don't think it would be too much to ask to have a remote idea how to put it on net?

No one is arguing that he should be best in the world, but if I took *113 Shots (CL /Serie A) I would expect more then 14 goals

Wow mtl, if you could throw an idiom for every single problem in life, we'd all be living in heaven now. Practice makes perfect? Far from it. And he has been practicing, I've seen his personal trainings on Milan Channel. Everything else you mentioned is just a poor attempt at tarnishing Robinho's name for your own dislike. But what to do? Like Dracoris said, the best expresion in this case is 'haters gonna hate'.
