Robinho...

jackdaw

Looks like this deal to bring him to Chelsea is off ...

I knew it would turn out this way .. just like Alves ..

any major signing that has so much talk around Chelsea
always falls through

Mr Alan

why does it look like its off?

Might not be a bad thing, I have my doubts whether he could make it in the premiership, the small fast pacey skillful winger is no longer king, the top clubs have full backs that have the same attributes.

Besides they just had to sell back their small fast pacey winger at a huge discount to his old club.

Wouldn't be too upset if I were a Chelsea fan.

Apparently Madrid would only sell him if they could get a suitable replacement in - they aren't getting Ronaldo and have also missed out on Villa so the talk at the moment is that they are putting a stop to the Robinho deal.

Yea but i thought they had set their sights on Carzola to replace him, and Real usually get whatever Spanish player they want.
Carzola deal could still happen, maybe Chelsea could still get him last minute.

I don't really rate him. I know he's good but he's very hot and cold from what i've seen. But my mate is a huge madrid fan and he loves him..?

Well the Robinho transfer is a bit weird, in that he was supposed to go to fund C. Ronaldo coming in, when that went pear shaped - Robinho was left in a situation of not being wanted to being needed.

So Real supposedly put a 40m price tag on his head, forcing him into handind ing a transfer request (not sure if he has done this)

He was boo'd off the pitch against Valencia by the Madrid fans, they will never want him playing after he says he wanted to leave. A bit over rated imo anyways.

Theres no signs its off at all.Jackdaw and his mad threads again.

This weekend will be crazy with transfers and anything can happen

Robinho has done the very same thing Real wanted C.Ronaldo to do.

In fairness, he wasn't wanted by his manager, and is incredibly underpaid, I think he's only about the 10th top earner.

That dutch kid Drenthe gets paid more.

And here was me thinking he wanted to play for Chelsea!!

He does deserve more money though

Well, I can't blame him for wanting to get away, Real Madrid probably isn't the most friendly place for Brazilians, and he has the chance to earn more and play under Scolari again.

Nah, the Cazorla deal is off, he signed a new improved deal with Villareal recently, he chose them over Madrid.

Capel was also on their agenda, but Del Nido has a gentlemans agreement with Calderon that if Real want him, they can't just pay his release clause. Del Nido's a genius.

They don't actually need a replacement for Robinho, Drenthe will be used in his natural position if he leaves, and they have Robben, Sneijder, Van Der Vaart and even Guti who can play in those positions if needs be.

Real offered him twice his current wages, but he refused because he wanted triple, a little selfish if you ask me. Robinho was a bit of a problem for Madrid much before the Ronaldo saga.

Although I'd hardly say the deal is off. It's just a bit of a bumpy patch.

Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has decided to keep Chelsea target Robinho at the club, a Spanish sports newspaper said Friday.

"He is staying in Madrid and there is no possibility of going back on that," Calderon said, according to AS.

Calderon made the decision after a plea by Real's German coach Bernd Schuster, who is counting on the Brazilian for this season.

He is going to get an absolute roasting from the Madridista faithful.

Hmmm reminds me a bit of the Ashley Cole saga. It could go either way. I'd say we'll know more on the 1st of september at about 11.59pm!

jackdaw

Anyway .. im not surprised when Calderon is involved ..


he's a sneaky one ..

Mr Alan

Robinho left out of the squad for their first game of the season.

24 hours after the close of the deadline? Yeah, agree with that. Things should be very clear at that stage!

bohsman
