Robinho - Flop or Success ?

[Saj]

Wow ! What an amazing signing for Manchester City and who would have thought it.

However do you think he'll prove to be a star or a flop at Manchester City?

[Mohsin]

I've got a feeling he's gonna flop, big time!

[Nakhuda]

Considering he cost so much i don't expect him to be worth it in the short term.But the Arab's will probably sign many world class players in Jan who together with Robinho will take Man City to a completely new level!
How i wish they'd bought Liverpool FC instead.

[irfan]

As a City follower (honest!) I think he won't be a complete flop but neither will he be that great, but still can't get over what's happened!

[TAK]

i don't follow european football

but i heard on the radio that he was predominatly a "bench warmer" for real?

he was a starter.. hes a good player

TAK

The technical term that Ive heard being used all day is 'Bit-Part Player'!

Its happened TOO quickly.

Arab Sheikh buys club...few minutes later, they buy Robinho....few hours later Mark Hughes gets involved (AFTER he has been bought by the new owners)

Manchester's a dump at the best of times....who knows how he'll feel in a few games time?

Hopefully he'll set Premiership alight like Klinsman or Bergkamp did

can you imagine if they had snapped up citeh a few weeks ago

the transfer window would have been interesting to say the least !

[Oxy]

No doubt we'll hear a bit Robinho tell us 'Man City the club I supported as a kid..........'

[irfan]

Knowing City's luck I'm expecting it to turn out as a cruel hoax &we find out that Jeremy Beadle is not dead after all but was spotted dressed as an Arab!

Where have you been for the past few years?


I think he will be a hit - he is a quality player and he will shine. He will be the star of the Citeh side and will be the focal point much like Tevez was at West Ham

i bet you are from around manchester.. the glory bug usually hits ppl with some success

[kingusama92]

flop... not a super flop or anything like that... but he won't live up the hype he is creating at the moment.... unless the Arab owners pick up a few more super stars I don't him doing much to take Man City to the top...

[Afridi_Fan]

Hell do just Okay I guess, in some games we will surely see the Brazailian show his talent but not that often.Surely not as much as he costed to Man City.

[Afridi_Fan]

How about add an"He will do Ok" in the poll?

[the_best]

How many Brazilians actually successful in hustle of EPL. With the exception of Silva @gooners and Juninho @ M'boro I could not find any other . And I do not expect Robinho would be successful at Man City but hope he could prove me wrong

[SameerM]

robinho will have lots of service, therefore should be successful.

man city want to be top4 club this season.

expect MORE millions to be spent in Jan transfer window.. the new owners have said they want 18 players of robinho's value!! thats 18*30million !!! and they ready to spend it

[Usman Chadda]

Robinho will be even more dangerous with a midfield of Wright-Phillips/Ireland, Elano, Petrov and Johnson providing him with quality balls. Jo and Robinho can link up to be a sensational duo if things work out for City. Easier said than done though... The EPL is more physical than La Liga, so we'll see how Robinho copes

How many Brazilians have there been in the Premiership?

[pakistanbest]

he will do ok but to much pressure and attention will be on him, some decent players around him so he should do well if he keeps mentally strong as Manchester is no Madrid. Manchester has nice chicks but the weather is one of the dullest in the world

[in_cutter]

I hope the lad does well..good luck to him!

[Oxy]

Flop? Success? Who knows?

CHEAT? YES!!!!

Just seen him produce some embarrassing theatrics to get a Bolivian sent off.

NO CONTACT with the player - went down as if he had been decapitated.

I dont want to see that in Englaish football

Ive said my piece on them also - just dont want to see any more.

Forgot about the Drog who goes down as easy as anyone (albeit without the rolling over and clutching of body parts). That Robinho collapse that Oxy mentioned was quite farcical; he must have rolled over about 172 times holding his thigh when there was minimal contact.

[Oxy]

Robinho scores on his Man City debut!!!
