He was injured at the start of the season, couldn't find form in a shambolic team, couldn't get on with certain players and wanted regular games before the WC (same as Hart). He went on loan to the team he supports and said he wanted to stay. Too many people on here are easily insulted. Billy big boys when igt comes to Robinho, Ireland, RSC, M.Johnson etc. Robinho is not the devil, Ireland is not dim-wittded or mad, RSC is not injured constantly on purpose and Michael Johnson is not a drunk.
If Robinho stays then I hope he does well. I fear though that it will be the boo boys that'll decide Robinho's fate before Sept 1st. We have fair few who like stereotyping our players instead of supporting them (am I generalizing enough?).
By the way those who think we are going to walk the league and don't need the likes of Robinho and Ireland are in for a rude awakening I think. Or maybe I am in for that awakening when we tuirn out o be amazing from the first game on. Just think it's highly unlikely and we'll be screaming for a goal from anywhere ... if we let the creative players go and rely on the players we brought in who need time to figure out the Premiership.
Don't think there's a single City fan who thinks we'll walk the league & don't see why you're suggesting it.
Robinho & Ireland are to blame for their own situations, nobody else. Don't forget, Robinho also went missing (quite literally) the season before. That was purely down to him & he received an incredible amount of leeway & support from both management & fans afterwards. I doubt many players at other clubs would get the same understanding. He paid us back by giving us nothing. It would be nice to think he'd give us something back in the future but I won't hold my breath.
