Robinho's latest press conference has left me extremely disappointed with his attitude. The lack of respect he has shown the club is just disgusting. When ppl complain abt Ronaldo's attitude I say they shd take a look at this guy instead. Robinho is nothing but a cry baby. When we sell him, good riddance I say.

Hah first of all his claims are bullshit. He conveniently forgets to mention that he has still 2 years left on his contract. Since when does a club have an obligation to just give in to a player's demands when he has still time on his contract? But what would a Chelsea fan know about that right

As much speculation as the media made about Ronaldo and Robinho the club has never said that they wanted to sell him. We have tried to give him a pay rise of abt 4.5ME per year but he rejected it because he wanted more money. We sure as hell ain't going to offer the 6ME per year he was asking as that would put him in the same wage bracket as Raul and Casillas. And he sure as hell doesn't deserve that kind of money seeing as hasn't even put one full season of consistent form like the likes of Ronaldo, Kaka or Ronaldinho. But again Chelsea are a special case ain't it.

And as for this...seriously by trying to look like you even keep tabs of what happens in Real Madrid it is an insult. I should just tell u to GTFO and be done with that. But seeing as I'm in a good mood...Robinho has been whining over the past year for a pay rise. That's what he meant by "my agent has gone so many times". It's nothing about whether we wanted to keep him. It was about more money. And he hasn't always been thoroughly professional. The condom incident anyone? And seeing that Schuster was the one who has backed him since day one and even protected him after that incident. Attacking Schuster in the press conference was one of nastiest backstabs I've seen a player done. Still questioning me questioning his questionable attitude then are we?

So now...GTFO.


On another note...seems like our curse in the Riazor continues :(

Fact: He arrived late for training after international week with Brazil. He was caught partying into the wee hours where he was caught with condoms. There was nothing to deny and he didn't deny it. Schuster came out to defend him saying he was a player that needed to be loved to succeed. Since that day his form improved tremendously for a period of abt 3-4 mths before he got injured. Schuster was largely credited with Robinho suddenly achieving his potential for Madrid.

Fact: After he got injured he skipped rehabilitation sessions and took longer than expected to recover. When he did recover his form was poor and was largely anonymous for the 2nd half of the season. Schuster still defended him and played him during this period.

He can take his piss at Calderon or Mijatovic but saying what he did about Schuster was just below the belt and very classless.

Fact: Ramos and Robinho wanted to renegotiate their contracts about the same time. Ramos accepted his extension. Robinho rejected his because he wanted more money. We put his negotiations on hold. Maybe if Ronaldo was brought to Madrid we would have sold Robinho because he such a headache for the management. BUT our negotiations for a transfer fee for Ronaldo HAS NOTHING to do with our negotiations with Robinho's contract extension or should have been the case but i guess Robinho thought otherwise

The only serious "incident" or "conflict" is Robinho not willing to accept a lower but still respectable wage for a player his age than what Chelsea are offering. And let's face it, he's not wanting to join Chelsea because of prestige or something; he's already in the biggest club in Europe.

And another fact: Your opinions and personal observations suck so u should just keep them to yourself.

Enjoy your 6ME per year cry baby. Cheers.

Only problem is Robinho wanted that new contract since last year; way before the whole Ronaldo transfer saga started. And all the "using Robinho as a swap deal" came from media speculation. I can guarantee not once did the club officially say they wanted to sell him. Calderon and Schuster has always said they wanted Robinho to stay. Whether Calderon meant it is another matter but the official stance of the club was to keep him. Chelsea offered him a huge contract through his agent and that started this whole thing off. He wanted Madrid to match the offer. That was the thing that pissed him off.

@Kerplunk: I always encourage ppl to give their opinions. But yours are so baseless it's pointless to argue with u.

@kevraul: Geez. Some grudges never get old do they. Just let it go and grow up.

lol @ Robinho to City!

Still want to debate now whether Robinho was being a greedy punk?

Both sagas were very different if u ask me. We didn't whine like MU did. We told Chelsea to pay up the amt we asked for and they didn't. Man City did and got their player. Simple as.

AS says Sneijder will take the #10 and VDV the #23

Added on September 2, 2008, 11:51 amWe didn't want to sell. But the player wanted to leave so we won't keep him against his wishes.

We would have. The amt thrown ard by the media at that time were already crazy. We submitted one official bid. Man Utd didn't want to talk at all.

And whose fault is it? Still blame Madrid?

Next time learn to debate with facts before u go spouting off nonsense.

Yeah the way he just strutted into this thread and posting like he knew everything when it was anything but, I would say he deserved it.

Seriously I've nothing against u..Heck I don't even remember what we argued about lol

We still have 4 strikers in our books but Schuster did complain about it in the last press conference after the game. I'm still not too worried as there is always the winter transfer window.

It was a rheotherical question. Not like I would expect u to understand that.

If Chelsea made a similar bid I'm pretty sure he would be playing for u guys. Chelsea's all talk but no walk stance left him with no choice. That and his burning bridges publicity stunt.

The facts I listed to u were all FACTS and not media SPECULATION. I know how to differentiate the two when I read. And stop throwing that "personal opinion" crap. There's little personal opinion in this case. It's all interpretation of facts that are already there. If it was an issue to be debated like some new FIFA rule where it's subjective then yes that's whr personal opinion comes in.

Nothing I have claimed has been about personal details of any of those individuals. So I don't know where you're going with this. Calderon is a liar. Which is why I don't claim anything he says as the truth. Which is also why you shouldn't take Robinho's words to the book either. The facts that I posted earlier has none of these speculative nonsense anyway.

I reserve all this hate only for those that aren't able to think critically, don't worry. I'm not like this IRL anyway. I really don't care if I don't appease everyone in an online forum.

Cheers.

Transfer window's closed

Those were just rumors started by Catalan papers

We have to win our game today seeing the results ytd. Ramos and Canna are being rested for the game. Damn NTs.

HT: Real Madrid 4 - 2 Numancia

We started off the match horribly. Our set piece defending needs to be worked on. But you can see why this team is special. Going down twice had no effect. The players kept their heads up and just kept on going. And we were duly rewarded. Although it has to be said the way Numancia have been defending is laughable. They are set up too deep and are giving our midfield way too much space to pick out passes. I didn't watch the game but how Barca manage to lose to them is beyond me

FT: Real Madrid 4 - 3 Numancia

Poor 2nd half performance. But 3 pts is the most important thing.

Defence has been ok..not totally convincing i admit. But 2 of the goals conceded...u really can't blame the defence. One was a rocket from long range, the other a good freekick.

You guys are uding TVU?

TVU doesnt seem to work for me

We've been too relaxed I feel. We should up the tempo in the 2nd half
