He might take a year to get used to Serie A. Just like R80 did. So let's not expect a million pedaladas per minute. Even if he ends up being our version of Quaresma I don't care. Let it no be said the board came up short.
We've got a team for the next 4 years....all barring a fullback. Just keep that youth factory pumping Uncle Fez. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

The official website update the players section including Robinho (and removing Kaladze, Borriello and Huntelaar).
http://www.acmilan.com/LM_Team_Roster.aspx I'm hoping Thiago gets #4 now, Ibra #11 and Robinho #12/#22. |

I'm not his biggest fan but I do rate him as footballer. especially after his World Cup showing. it'll be interesting to see if he can manage to survive in Serie A (he's physically weak).
Welcome Binho! |

Robinho excelled best under Capello imo, his final year there when they won the league, he needs discipline. He's too good to fail imo, but if Allegri lets him do what he pleases then he will become a problem. Which is my biggest worry. Comparing him to Ronaldinho is wrong imo, as the 2 have completely different personalties. Yes Ronnie likes to party, but he's not an egomaniac either, his first season he got benched by Carlo for nearly half of it, and didn't even say one word to the media that wasn't positve about the club and how he needs to fight for his place. Robinho will be a whole different stroy. |

The price is ok knowing how much City paid Real Madrid couple years ago for him. |

Well Robinho does have a terrible track record with attitude problems, do I think we'll be able to handle him, I don't know, for his sake and ours I sure hope so. He knows this is probably his last chance at playing for a top European team, and he can't afford to screw it up.
Man City was always going to be a disaster. And at Real he forced the move after being basically treated like cr@p by their management because they were salivating at the idea of getting C.Ronaldo and when Fergie wouldn't budge they stopped trying to shove Robinho out, so by that time the damage was already done. We'll see how he copes wih not being a regular starter first. But with the schedule coming up after the International Break he'll get plenty of time to prove his worth. Would a fullback have been more wise? Imo we needed both a fullback and a Dinho/Pato backup desperately. We didn't get the fullback and got a potential ticking time bomb in Robinho, we'll see if it blows up in our face in due time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

Terrible waste of money. We had enough strikers already, and Silvio decides to blow it again and spend tons of vital cash on an unnecessary element of the team. We have Pato, Ronaldinho can play striker and as attacking midfielder or winger, Borriello (on loan at Roma), and of course Ibrahimovic. Filippo Inzaghi is still alive and kicking on the pitch, he scored a beautiful UCL volley goal the other day, so he's a very good backup even though he can't stay on for too long anymore.
Anyway, my point is that Berlusconi should have focused more on improving the defense rather than the attack. And honestly, I would have been happy enough to keep Huntelaar instead of bringing in Robinho for so much money... sure, he's good, but I still don't think it was necessary at all... |

QUOTE I'd rather have Borriello than a petulant striker who has pitched fits at every european club he's played for. Borriello had his problems also prior to joining. I'm willing to give Robinho the same chance like every new player should be granted. After all Milan has a special effect on players even Real and especially City cannot provide. |

After all Milan has a special effect on players even Real and especially City cannot provide. exactly this. Robinho's club career has been a mismanaged one, and a classic example of why if you are young, stay away from Madrid. They don't embrace their players until they've proven themselves. and if you're young, and amongst Galacticos, then how can you possibly succeed instantly (history repeating itself with Benzema currently?). He showed signs of breaking out (for Brazil he started becoming a protagonist off of his Copa America 07 performances, and his last season for the club he was 2nd in scoring and assists for the team, despite not playing consistently). But Madrid just used his rising stock to try and leverage a move for C-Ron. R9 is gone, so Robinho realizes the club he thought he was going to actually wasn't, and bounced anywhere he could. Man City is also a cold place (pun intended - both the team camaraderie and weather matter for fun&sun-loving Robinho!). Sure, he had a huge price tag. But he lived up to it at first, hitting 15 goals on a mediocre team. Then next season, after an injury, without consistent playing time, he's criticized for not immediately banging in hattricks (expectation and criticism thank to his price-tag and media hype). Elano's gone. He doesn't see his future at Man City, wants out. He takes the English media wrap for being a problem-child, flop. The truth is though, is that Robinho, a massively talented player, was at these clubs at a time when they were unstable, and not necessarily good incubators for his talents. Santos is the only club where Robinho has felt like he was actually valued at the club, and has grown into his role there. and look how he performs there. For the Brazil NT, Robinho feels important, and excels, undisputedly so. Milan represents the kind of environment that players like him rehabilitate in. Seedorf and Pirlo blossomed here after criticism. So did R99 pre-reinjury. Beckham fit in seamlessly and proved his worth after being written off. Ronaldinho's done the same. Also, Robinho's arrival to this club is not a HUGE money situation. He was a bargain buy. He's 26/27, thinking about being the centerpiece superstar veteran of Brazil 2014. He's even more motivated than say a 29 yr old Ibra. Pato being here is all the more reason for Robinho to commit to the club. Dinho's proven he can be a hit at Milan if he follows his lead. Robinho knows that he's coming into a team where there won't necessarily be the intense, overbearing pressure on him to succeed immediately. Players always feel a sense of calm playing for us, unlike the stresses of Madrid and England. If we are to maximize the potential of our 'cut price Galacticos', it'll be because of the AC Milan environment. It'll be because Allegri's nonchalant, pragmatic persona + shrewd tactics inspires confidence in our team. and players like Rino, Ambro, Dinho, Clarence, Nesta, Thiago, Antonini, Zambro (the core from the team that grew together last year) all lead by example - by continuing to play with hunger, not with entitlement like we did under Carlo. If we keep the unity of the team, but turn up the intensity both vocally/physically (Rino, Ambro, Dinho, Clarence), Boateng's fiery hunger could feed into it, and Zlatan and Robinho will feel they have something to prove to Milan.

The main criticism was not that he was a child, it was more the fact that away from home he may as well have not turned up. At home he was great, scored a few hat-tricks and had some big games. Away from home he was just awful. He was an immediate target from the home fans and he never seemed to be able to cope with everyone being on his back and basically gave up trying in these games. |

Late entrant to this thread but the signing of Robinho is a brilliant one - on his day he's absolutely world class, and will suit Milan and Serie A down to the ground.
I was absolutely delighted when this signing was confirmed. |

I was absolutely delighted when this signing was confirmed. No doubting his talent. But it's a question of whether he'll put it to good use or not. Atm, we have 4 world class players for 3 positions. Imo that's a great thing, but if they let their ego's get in the way or Allegri cannot handle them we'll have a problem on our hands. All 4 being played together is out of the question. So Allegri needs to find a system, that will keep them all happy. |

No Robinho news for a month?
I'll give the kid some love. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhsAtfjip4o Want to point out from the few minutes he's been on the pitch,he worked as hard as anyone,tracking back when he lost the ball vs Genoa and genuinely trying to link up with Ronaldinho even though the formation puts them on opposite sides of the pitch,no fancy stuff just trying to be as direct as can be.Hopefully with the formation change + more training sessions they'll build the kind of chemistry to produce the kind of play still in my imagination.

because srna could do more damage on this team as a fullback than robinho can playing up front as a winger.
He'd also cost less aswell. This post has been edited by Bluesummers: Sep 28 2010, 09:51 PM |

Yeah, well, when I saw this post yesterday, it came to my mind again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) The 3-man defense thingy. If it was up to me, I'd stuff the mid and attack, and just put Paolo Maldini as a 1-man defense. He'll handle everything. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) And sub Nesta in if needed. Fantasy football at its best!

It has been a while I've seen him play. But if he can play good as a rightback I'd have welcomed him. I really want us to play 4-3-1-2, and we really need to sign at least 1 fullback who is good in attacking. |

Forget Srna, we should sign van der Wiel.

I was really hoping for one of Srna, Karasic, or van der Wiel this season. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Any one would have added new dimension to our squad, and truth be told we really need it.

The way you make him to be, Srna sounds like a top notch fullback. I wonder why he still plays at Shakhtar though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
