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

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.

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!!!
