Robinho is AWOL because of no Kaka and broken promises. Bellamy (Hughes toa-tai) signing of which does not augurs well for City. He is more trouble than he is worth. Kaka signing apparently derailed by City management nincompoops and 'sabotage'. They kaka-up. Hughes has to go. They are not serious and if I am the Sheikh I will fire all of them. They screwed up the negotiations. Didn't show the money. You can read between the lines. No samba party.

QUOTE Robinho walks out on Man City training camp
Manchester City have confirmed that Robinho is no longer at the club's training camp in Tenerife.
The Brazilian reportedly stormed out of the camp on Monday night after learning that the club would not be signing his international team-mate Kaka.
It is believed the 24-year-old has grown sullen at Eastlands, as he has become frustrated with City's underperformance on the pitch, while his latest outburst threatens his own future at the club, with Chelsea monitoring the situation.
Robinho is believed to have flown back to Brazil to consider his situation at City, but the club have given no official reason for his departure.
The Blues smashed the British transfer record when they splashed out £32.5million on the 24-year-old in August last year and, on a personal level, Robinho has been a success, netting 12 goals for his new club - becoming an instant hit with the City faithful.
But the player has a history of problems off the pitch, with then-Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon claiming that ''his departure from Madrid [to City] wasn't just due to sporting reasons, there is something else, which I can't understand.''
Robinho has also hit out at City this season, criticising them for their "small-time mentality", which had many questioning his commitment to the club.
City's failure to establish themselves in the top half of the table under manager Mark Hughes is bound to be a further source of disappointment and it is believed a bust-up with the City boss is at the heart of the matter. sosReal Football 2-0 Fantasy Football Added on January 20, 2009, 5:43 pmBtw, this thread is no longer serving it's original purpose.

Manchester City seriously need to stop buying title....
They should learn from Man Utd on how to "build" success but not "buy" success.

A good majority of Manchester's occupants would disagree with you. Some would even suggest that Old Trafford isn't even in Manchester. QUOTE United's Old Trafford ground lies just outside the city boundaries in Trafford Borough http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_derbyAs for Man City claims that most Man Utd fans don't even come from Manchester, QUOTE A common stereotype is that City fans come from Manchester proper, while United fans come from elsewhere. A 2002 report by a researcher at Manchester Metropolitan University found that a higher proportion of City season ticket holders came from Manchester postcode areas (City 40%, United 29%). Within the City of Manchester itself the proportions were 17% City, 7% United.[ Since there are less Man City fans here, I thought they'd need more ammunition to make this debate more interesting

People seem to forget that Chelsea was already a half decent club when Roman came with his moneybags...
During the Hoddle-Gullit-Vialli years (IINM starting from 1994), they managed to bring in experienced internationals, starting with a strong foundation in Dennis Wise and Mark Hughes, and then adding Gullit and Vialli themselves, then LeBouef, Zola, Desailly, Deschamps, T.A Flo, etc etc.
Slowly but surely, they were building themselves a very good team and the riches from Russia merely accelerated this process.
Man City on the other hand, only had good youngsters and journeymen prior to the Sheikh takeover. How then do they expect to attract World Class players 7-8 months into their ownership?
But, I have to say recruiting the likes of Kompany, SWP, Robinho and De Jong is a step in the right direction for them. If they manage to finish in the top 5 consistently and with cup wins here and there in the next few years, then they would easily be able to attract top quality players... And that's when the rest of us will have to be really worried!

If Citeh fans are willing to acknowledge the "manchester derby", I wouldn't want to question as to whether United are in Manchester or outside.  And, when we say there's only one team in Manchester, don't take it literally (or not  )
