Not a chance.
First, citeh should qualify for europe with their current players. Only then will players such as Kaka and Messi join thew club. If citeh do not qualify this season, I reckon the chances of Robinho leaving are not impossible.
TBF, citeh have a decent squad to do so, just look at their squad for a moment...
1)Joe hart - prolly england no.1 if capello decides to pick him
2)Micah Richards - a quality player, already knocked Neville out from his RB position.
3)Ireland - Best player from them this season, decent player.
4)SWP - Needless to mention of his pace
5)Bridge - yet to play
6)Kompany - FM legend LOL
And their strikers... Robinho, Jo, Vassell, Sturridge, Benjani, Bojinov...Pretty decent players, except maybe for Bojinov who has been injured since he signed for them.
With this squad compared with Hull City - who are doing above expectation, pretty tough to pick eh?
Bojinov is not injured, but was loaned out to Juventus if I'm not mistaken.First, citeh should qualify for europe with their current players.

Let's be realistic, at the end of the day, money still plays an important role in decided-making for the players. Not everyday you come across someone like Paolo Maldini or Ryan Giggs.
When Mark Hughes asked for more time, I suppose he wants more time to recruit world-class players to fight for the Europe place next season. This season will be spent finding these players instead of being competitive in the league.
In the long run, yes, Manchester City will emulate Chelsea, or even be better than them in terms of spending power. Well, they already are.
