So optimistic! lol EDIT: So what do you think are our chances of getting a more solid RB in January? Do you think they will revert to their ' we are fine as we are' statements? Or will they take this opportunity to further reinforce the side when possible?

I think the club will get to sponsor any fullback purchases so....we're fine as we are. Sadly.

I'd rather have Borriello than a petulant striker who has pitched fits at every european club he's played for. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

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)

If it does, I'll happily admit I was wrong. However, if it does not, you get to apologize. Deal?

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...
