Will Robinho Play Next Season at City?

July 15th, 2009 | By: Duvel | 3 Comments »

Manchester City is on the verge of adding their third forward this summer with the pending signing of Emmanuel Adebayor. After signing Roque Santa Cruz and Carlos Tevez as well, where will Robinho play? Will he essentially be playing left midfield, or start at all for Mark Hughes? There have been some whispers about him being loaned out to another big club. In the mean time there are more questions than answers regarding the role Robinho will have next season.

If I am Robinho, I definitely start pushing to exit the club. He will not help his case to be starting over Pato if he is only seeing the pitch half the season. There are enough clubs looking to get a player of this quality on loan, especially with money being tight this summer for many.

Of course Robinho’s going to play at CITY next season, at his natural position attacking from the left wing and the freedom to roam wherever he needs to. The premiership is all about grit and hustle, which is why Robinho is somewhat undervalued because his superior technical skills and creative imagination with the ball at his feet give the impression of effortless talent. Robinho will finally have some top quality players around him, why would he want to leave?

Robinho doesn’t have to worry about his spot over PATO, PATO is competing with Nilmar to be LUIS FABIANO’s sub. Robinho is the heart of the current BRAZIL team under DUNGA. A player of Robinho’s ‘fantasy futbol’ caliber is a crucial for DUNGA’s more conservative strategy. Remember COPA AMERICA 2007 when Kaka & Ronaldinho both bailed on the SELECAO. Robinho responded and put Brazil on his back as they won the title over tournament favorites ARGENTINA(w/MESSI,TEVEZ,RIQUELME etc.). Robinho finished as the MVP.

A similar fate awaits at SOUTH AFRICA 2010!!!

Thanks for the comment estoverao. I guess it depends on the formation they use and how they would use Tevez. If they play a straight 4-3-3 I wouldn’t like Robinho playing so far back in an Elano type role.

Robinho won’t leave obv. Whispers are just lies to sell papers etc

Adebayor Roque Santa Cruz Tevez

Robinho Barry Ireland Wright- Phillips

Zabaleta Richards Bridge

Given

City to challenge top four easily next season. Ireland is the next Essien. A beast on the pitch. Can pass, shoot, tackle. Basically the white, Irish and younger version of Micheal Essien. Barry and him will go nicely. I am just not feeling Wright Phillips. Maybe not play him and make Ireland go on the wing and play 4 at back so its 4-3-4. I dunno tho
