It's pretty sad but true. This is not the same Robinho who plays for Brazil and Santos. Wish he went to Barcelona. Last game, he didn't look happy at all, something was wrong. has this got you guys worried?
Not sure, I would like to see what happens during the season. I heard Milan showed some interest in Robinho, but what is new these days? Also, you should have posted this in the Robinho thread
robinho should leave real madrid man! they will ruin his future great career if he stays there! gawd last year when he finally adapted and was palying the best ball of all the real madrid players, he ended up being benched by then coach lopez caro and he played sparingly all season long becaus of the politics in madrid and now they have this italian guy cappello who for some reason prefers cassano over binho and is looking for every reason to play cassano. its a darn shame man! i hope milan buys both robinho and ronaldo from those idiots at real madrid! i really believe that both ronaldo and robinho will flourish away from real madrid!!
Robinho made a bad choice. Should never had went to Real in the first place. Barcelona and Arsenal would've been by far better place for him. Remeber how much hate he received from the Madrid fans in his first year? Wow, I couldn't believe it myself. These guys don't know anything about great talent. Robinho has maaaad potentials but we'll never get to see a lick of it if he remains at Real. He looks unhappy these days, and i'm glad cuz that would mean hes fed up with how things are run there.
Not Arsenal, where he would end up being a bench warmer too. I doubt Robinho would adapt to the physical part of English football, and Arsenal’s style doesn’t suit players that hold the ball like him.
With Lux and his fellow compatriots at Real it seemed like a good move at the time. Arsenal tried to sign him before so I don't think there would be a conflict of styles, he can play across the pitch is quick, skillful and can score - Arsenal type qualities and definately good for thier brand but he'd still have to establish himself there becos they've a lot of attacking options. Lack of regular ptich time is arresting his progress and confidence. Deep down I don't think he's a Capello type player.
Arsenal would of been perfect because he would play right next to Henry and Robinho is better the Van Persie adn whatever other guy they have
Because Henry never wants the ball at his feet. You may be right about the physical thing, but great players can work around that. I think Arsenal would've been a nice fit.
Van Persie > Robinho You lot just need to accept that Robinho was overrated. Good player but when playing against better opposition in Europe, he has shown his true level.
I gotta agree with Teso here...... Now, that doesn't mean he can't adapt in the near or distant future...let's face it, when he arrived in Europe he was knocked around a while and, the difference in styles was very evident. As it stands, Van Persie is an overall better player...he has a nasty temper but he is more composed and more consistent and can adapt to different styles while playing in the CL. Robinho has to work on the physical aspect of the game still. It takes time, thats all. Can't give up just like that.
composed? consistent? adapt to different styles??? honestly those are not Van Persie traits, there is a reason why he is on the bench most of the time for Arsenal Edit:he is just like his buddy Robben aka they are glory hunters and only care about themselves not to mention Robinho is a way better dribbler then both Robben and Van Persie
ummm.....there is no set starter up front for Arsenal except Henry, everyone rotates....thats just the way Wenger is doing it now....doesn't make Van Persie a benchwarmer....he played today by the way. Also, I don't think we need to go into the "dribbling is everything" arguement.
no, what rotation, they arent Chelsea,Manu or Liverpool, they have barely any depth Edit: fine we wont go into the dribbling is everything arguement but lets go into adaption if you will, Robinho is a forward which Real Madrid has been playing as a left winger, thats why he struggled in the beginning of the season but played very well near the end also, Real Madrid for the past three seasons have been corrupt and messed up from the ground up, players that have been out of form and past it like Raul were given starts well Robinho had to stay on the bench or left wing not to mention every player except Casisilas(sp) has been crap for real all being very inconsistent which is mostly do to the corruption in the front office
Van Persie's over-rated, much like half the Arsenal squad really... Better than Robinho? Maybe, it's a close-call. And no Real Madrid are not ruining Robinho. I love how it's never just the player's fault. I mean for crying out loud, he was bought because Vanderlei wanted to kiss his ass so much. If anything Vanderlei ruined Robinho, not Real Madrid.
That's like one of those things... Where you say it and other people laugh... Oh yeah, a joke. That's a joke right? Now if you meant to say, "Liverpool; they have barely any depth" in a sort of 'it's what's for dinner' catch-phrase sort of thing, disregard the previous comments.
van Persie hasnt even done much. He's been more or less invisible for the Dutch national team...and he always seems to be overshadowed by other Arsenal players. Robinho at the very least, has found significant success at the club and national team level. Van Persie has an advantage over Robinho because he has club stability. Madrid has been a mess for the past 3 years and this takes a toll on players...especially Robinho, who has taken some time to adapt to Spain. Remember, he was a small guy who has to adjust to a completely new setting. He had huge pressure when he was transferred and was given the #10 jersey. He was supposed to be THE guy to take over for Ronaldo and Raul. Van Persie didnt have any of this mounting pressure when he transferred from Feyenoord. He was never touted as the next Cruijff...Robinho has always been touted as the next Robinho and young players often can't cope with that pressure. Robinho has looked good thus far in the preseason, and he played well in limited action in the World Cup. I expect him to improve this season...of course, this all depends on how Capello uses him,.
I have to disagree with this thread. Robinho has a bright future and will force his way in the squad ( maybe he will start, who knows ). He is too good for Capello to put off just because he is a fancy player. Hopefully we will soon see both Robinho and Cassano on the field at the same time No need for Beckham who should and hopefully will be dropped for Robinho. I expect him to be the worlds best in 2 years time, right now the only Brazilian that really has to worry about his future is Baptista, but the season is long so he should get a good amount of games.
get otta here! you dont come to the brasilian forum with your obnoxious and lilimited opinion on our potetially future great player! you are biased towards brasilian players anyways and we sure dont need your opinion here alright!
what are you talking about, you make no sense at all i said it in simple English Arsenal are not Manu,Chelsea or Liverpool as in they dont have depth like those three teams do and "its whats for dinner"? i am sure i didnt spell death Edit:anyway, i know what you mean but then again i didnt know i was in English class
Well if anyone wants an update, Robinho came in late in the game today agaisnt Villareal and really didn't do much except run and give the ball away.
