From a City point of view Robinho is begining to piss a few people off now. He has no intention of leaving City in January or any other time. These contradictory comments he keeps making are simply a childish reminder to Man City. He knows that both Petrov and Bellamy have both been fantastic in the position he usually plays so he is worried his position is under thret. It's his way of saying to City "You need me more than i need you". Well Robbie mate i'm not so sure about that. We love him here but we won't let anybody take the piss like that. The fact is Hughes has always had this policy where we only let players leave if we have already replaced them with somebody better who will improve the whole team. So even if this wasn't all bollocks mind games from the Brazilian and he really did want to leave, he wouldn't be allowed to untill another world class player joined us.
Don't you find it a bit funny that he only says these things to the Spanish or Brazilian press. "I'm flattered to be linked with a move to Barcelona" but also "I'll play for City for as long as thet want me" And now it's "It wiould be easier for me to become the best player in the world at the Nou Camp" followed by "I'm not trying to engineer a move away from City"
He is either very confused or more likely as i say trying to play mind games with Mark Hughes to make sure he remembers how important he is to the team. He'll learn the hard way if he keeps up this stupid shit.
P.S. I know this next bit is off topic. But what the fuck happened last week in the champions league? Barca are way to good to be getting beaten by that level of opposition. Although i pitty whoever you play next in that group. Somebody will be getting a beat down. Barca style
