The answer to that is no!
-------------------------------------------
Real Madrid forward Robinho has moved to quash speculation he could join Tottenham if he had to leave the Bernabeu.
The Brazilian international has failed to nail down a regular place in the Real team since Fabio Capello took over the reins in the summer.
After expressing his frustration at the lack of first-team opportunities this season, the 23-year-old has suggested he could quit Los Merengues if he doesn't get more game time.
Reports in Spain have linked Robinho with a move to White Hart Lane, but the former Santos ace says he is not interested in going to Spurs as he does not see them "as a big club".
"Reports that I'd move to Tottenham are wide of the mark," the Samba star told Marca.
"If I had to leave Real, I'd choose to join another big club. I don't regard Tottenham Hotspur as a big club."

It would be nice to have a player like Eto'o but his personality is annoying he just comes off as a giant douchebag.

A big ego with a kid with not much playing time. Dont get me wrong though Robino is good, really good.

I really don't think we need Eto's negative attitude at the club.

Negative attitude? Can someone please cut him a break. Rijkaard suggests he refused to play, and rightly so... He delivered when he has been needed most. Now he doesn't play, and all of a sudden people forget about him. Why do you think the title race is so much closer in Spain this season? No Messi or Eto'o. The only two reasons.
Many people forget how much Eto'o means to the Catalunya set up. He is their key player. He is the one who develops opportunities.
As for Robinho, I remember us trying to sign him but Real getting him instead. He could potentially become another Baptista with more skill. And to be honest from what I've seen of Real this season he has been their second or third best player. Did anyone see the El Classico in the Bernabeu? He was the sole reason why they won. He set up RvN's second goal. Too bad Capello really doesn't like him.

I don't mean to sound silly, but if he was Brazilian he probably would have been the most popular player at the club besides Ronaldinho....but he is African.:rolleyes:

Outstanding post. I will rep you when I can. This sums up the Barca quite nicely. Robinho has been the best offensive player for RMCF this season. I have seen him play quite a bit. Capello's boring attack scheme doesn't help Robinho either.

He is certainly liking Torres, Ramos, Gago, Higuain, and RvN.
And that is a different Torres, a product of the Real academy. He is a good right back in my opinion.

Torres is a good full back .. Can play at both LB and RB positions admirably ..
