Robinho

[the wes 7,212]

According to reports in Spain, Chelsea plan to offer a massive €35million for the Brazilian whiz Robinho. Real Madrid have previously stated that the 24-year-old is not for sale, but Chelsea are hoping they will reconsider when presented with this offer.

Spanish newspapar Marca reports that Arsenal and Manchester United could join the race for the Brazil international, should the Spanish champions consider Chelsea’s offer.

During a radio interview, Madrid coach, Bernd Schuster, denied that Madrid had any desire of selling Robinho or midfielder Diarra, who also have been rumoured to leave the club this summer.

“They are two important players for us. Why would we want them to leave?,” he said.

Finally, Marca also states that Robinho might be used later as a bargaining chip to lure Ronaldo away from Manchester United at some stage, and is therefore considered a vital component to make that deal happen.

one of their best players of the season, why would they sell him?

[EskWeston 696]

Would be a great signing, but can never see it happening.....

[Fulham Broadway 16,404]

Anything that starts ''According to reports..'' is usually imagination figments.

Cant really see Real offloading him

[pablo814 1]

Don't see it happening but if we lose Drogs it would be a hell of a replacement!

[bombayblue™ 55]

Robinho has been playing as a winger for the best part at madrid and sometimes filling in as an AM, i don't think he'd be a drogba replacement..

[EskWeston 696]

Certainly not as a Drogba replacement, would either be a winger or a strike partner should we decide to play 4-4-2 next season.

Bruce Buck seemed to deny it tonight on Chelsea TV's "Live From Stamford Bridge".

He said there was as much truth in it as the Lamps > Inter rumour.

Chelsea are lining up a sensational £28million bid for Brazil star Robinho.

The Real Madrid striker's agent Wagner Ribeiro claims he met Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon yesterday to talk about the move.

He said: "I met Peter Kenyon in London on Thursday.

"He told me that they were considering making an offer of £28m for Robinho.

"We did not talk about wages or the length of the contract."

Robinho, 24, also confirmed there was firm interest from the Blues.

He said: "What could happen is that I could go to Chelsea, as I have an offer from them.

"Milan are also interested in me."

Robinho has just enjoyed his best season in a Madrid shirt since joining in 2005.

Last week claimed he had no interest in leaving Spain but a big-money switch to London may tempt him to change change his mind.

Chelsea have already splashed out £16.2m on Porto right-back this summer as they look to make up for their trophyless season.

I bet if Real Madrid were crafty enough, they will reject the offer and ask for Drogba along with cash.

With Ronaldo now making clear that he wants a move to Real Madrid, I think Robinho will goto Man Utd in a swap+cash deal. I dont see Robinho coming to Chelsea now.

Not completely the case! That has been assumed from various reports, but reports from Madrid also said that they were willing to sell Robinho to raise the case to buy Ronaldo! So it isn't dead in the water yet.

Man UTd sell their most prized asset Ronaldo a winger to Real Madrid who already have Robben and Robinho as wingers and are trying for Hleb too. Now that Man Utd need a winger, I dont see why Madrid wouldnt sell Robinho to Man Utd unless ofcourse if Robinho has other plans and that is to come to Chelsea.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Ronaldo won't leave anyway.

[EskWeston 696]

Ronaldo won't leave anyway.

Don't be so sure! We have seen more shocking transfers to Real Madrid than this one. Madrid tend to use every trick in the book to get their man and more often than not it works too....

Skysports say we are interested in him again, ready to launch a 25mill bid

[Kez 2,727]

Don't think he would suit the premiership.
