Sorry i'm going to have to side with Cal here- Robinho is odds on more likely to flop in england because 1) the London night life- looks oh so good 2) English defenders are spiteful and cant take the humiliation of being rounded so easily therefore they're bound to get nasty. 3) His Ego- is above his true self- and he may be in for a big shock when he gets trapped out on the wing with nowhere to go except the substitutes bench.
He gave Real some good service, so i do wish him the best and that he can prove me wrong, but realistically, i doubt it. 2 bad season in the Premiership followed by 1 mediocre year in Italy and then back to Brasil for the rest of his career. He's not a future Kaka; Ronaldo or Ronaldinho- just another " could have been" like Adriano and co.
Lots of wisdom in your first paragraph.
Robinho can be real cagey and his ego is second only to Ibrahimovic, you never know what Robinho will turn up but ultimately Joe Cole could be looking for a new club.
Saying that he could be one of the best players to ever grace the Premier maybe moving to Real was a bad career option so early into it, he's not the same player he was at Santos that Robinho was merciless since he's come to Europe he's looked stifled (and that might happen to him in our league) he should have been loaned out cos he was so raw and he moans like a little girl when things dont go his way should fit right in at Chelsea.
He is in for a big shock thats for sure if he tries to many lollypops you think Cristiano's had it rough just watch.
what is it with Real and players from Brasil?
*wishes on star for Robinho to shine and show a certain team mate what natural flair looks like*
