Robinho

[BridgeMonkee]

Our first Brazilian forward?

Will he be better than Cronaldo?

Will he take the premiership by storm?

Our most exciting forward since Zola?

[Or] Marginally better than Mutu? Slicker than Sutton? How will he compare to JFH? Eidur? Flo? Sheva? Kezman? Robben? George Weah?

You spend 30 million quid on a Brazilian forward/winger he should be fairly decent right?

[nicephoras]

Lets wait on this thread until there's an official announcement, shall we?

Well C.Ronaldo definitely is a better goal scorer. I believe that Robinho is more creative than C.Ronaldo, both on dribbling and passing, so he is better at unlocking defenses... We will see.

Well he will have a coach that wants him and a very solid team to work with. Can't see why he wouldn't do well, maybe he will struggle a little with his physical attributes in the beginning but he already said that "no amount of muscles will beat you if you are smart enough". He probably won't score 30 goals, but I can see him getting a healthy amount of assists and goals.

I just hope he doesn't come in (if he does) thinking that he should automatically start.

It seems like Robinho has the image of a spoiled brat outside of Brazil, I bet youl'll be pleasantly surprised.

And you elaborate more on that?

[Kulspruta]

It wouldn't be a surprise then, would it? :cool:
I'm joking, it's just that the guy is pretty passionate about what he does, and it's not like he hasn't been benched before. Everybody should take what Real Madrid fans say about his attitude with a grain of salt, specially right now.

Nobody can replace Eidur or Jimmy Floyd.

It's already happened.....? :confused:

or did it?:rolleyes:

[BridgeMonkee]

Goal Scoring between the Robinho and the Cronaldo is fairly similar :

Cronaldo 189 69
Robinho 205 69


Different leagues, different amount of 'starts', etc.


Cronaldo is a lot taller.

Learn about the use of grammar. Not all sentences need to be finished to understand what they mean.

He sure looks like a spoiled brat now, after the way he went about leaving Madrid.
