I hope he will be a good sub for a few weeks until he is fully matchfit, hopefully he'll be the inspiration we need to change games.

He scares the crap out of defenders and we have been dying for someone like him for weeks.

Yes I would like to see him start on Saturday. Get him playing and playing well and forget about Barcelona. As ever I want a good result and performance from City though even more so this week if that were possible becuse I'm coming over for my second match of the season.

Be a welcome addition to the team, maybe the key to what we have been missing these last few weeks. Hughes will probably bring him on from the bench rather than starting with him though.

It has been nice to see him and his smile back training. I had the pleasure of being machine gunned by him yesterday in one of his crazy celebrations. I am sure he will play a part against Hull.

Hull will be terrified of him. In that first half demolition last season, he ran at the full back in the opening minutes, the guy fell over and they just looked a disorganised shambles from that minute on. Let's get him back where he belongs in the starting eleven.
City and sniffing knickers.
Come on Blues.

has to be a starter for me - cannot wait and Hull will be perfect to get match fitness back in him!

I hope him, Ireland and Tevez all start. The Hull defence won't know what hit them.

Agree. Though, if he's not really fully fit yet there's no reason to rush him. We should be able to cruise past Hull without him as well.

But boy I'm glad he's back! He's such a talent.

Who will he replace?

I'm not a lover anymore, he can go to Barcelona for all I care, Superman is just as good and plays with his heart in this team!

CITY are set to unleash Robinho on struggling Hull this weekend.
And the man who has had the closest view of the Brazilian star's fight for fitness believes he is ready to begin weaving his magic once again.
First team coach Eddie Niedzwiecki has supervised the full training sessions this week in which Robinho - who hasn't played for the Blues since August 27 - has been busy proving he is ready to rumble.
City had hoped he might squeeze on to the bench at Anfield at the weekend, but it was decided not to risk him, and he is likely to be among the substitutes against a team which has picked up just one point in six away games this season.
Niedzwiecki believes that the spell away with the Brazil national squad - which looked like sparking a club v country row at one point - may have actually benefited the player.
Manager Mark Hughes believes that taking a break among his countrymen has done him good, and the decision not to play him in friendlies against England and Oman had allowed him valuable time for treatment and training.
Now Niedzwiecki reckons City could reap the benefit.
"Robi is looking really good. We were pleased, after all the speculation when he went with Brazil, that he didn't play for them, because he wasn't ready," he said.
"He had good training and good treatment whilst with them and has come back to us looking sharper by the day.
"Things are looking very promising for him in terms of the weekend, and he should be up for selection."
It is good news all the way for the Blues, with Kolo Toure also expected back in training on Thursday after intensive treatment on a back problem. He was substituted at half-time in the 2-2 draw with Liverpool on Saturday, but should be fit.
Martin Petrov is also due back in full training on Monday while Vincent Kompany and Michael Johnson are in contention for places on the subs' bench after both played 90 minutes for the reserves on Monday night.

Yeeeha

I'll be there with 10 of us up from Sussex to see the Brazilian genius weave his spells. I'm not going to go on about what if's and should'ves but I know we will be a more rounded team with Robbie back in the fold.

C'mon you Super Blues!
