Robinho

[EskWeston 696]

Sounds as though he's coming then. If he wants I'll personally drive him to SB, just top ensure he gets here.

Lol, think i will join you!

It does sound like it is edging closer now. Calderon covering his back now saying to the fans of Madrid who obviously like Robinho that they will not let him go out of choice, they will let him go because he WANTS to leave!

Rafael Van Der Vaart has moved to Real Madrid. Now Expect Robinho transfer to be complete by next week.

Arsene Wenger on Robinho (arsenal.com)

"I think it was a good game between Robinho and [bacary] Sagna. He wasn't fazed by the physical challenge. If you want to know if I think Robinho can adapt in the Premier League, he looks like he has the ingredients to do it. I am not worried if he joins Chelsea because Chelsea will always have 11 good players on the pitch no matter if it is Robinho or somebody else. They will always have the choice."

voyeur speaking

sounds to me as if Wenger is a bit jealous

well, i don´t want to re-read all the pages..

is he coming or not ?

i have just read that he is as good as in Chelsea FC.

Well, I have to say, looking at Anelka's red hot form in pre-season, looks like we don't need him

Robinho: I have talked to Chelsea

Speaking to Globoesporte, the versatile forward offered a glimpse into his future.

"The season is only just beginning and I have proposals from other clubs, such as Chelsea," he admitted.

"Nothing is secure, though. We're still talking."

Sounds like this transfer could really start to crank up now. A lot of noises comming out from all parties at the moment, which as far as the transfer is concerned is good news for us i think.

Fantastic it's looking good

Rafael Van de Vaart has gone to Madrid now.

This could oil the wheels of Robiho coming to SW 6..........

[Stamford 3]

Well I think he will be well pissed off that VDV has ended up there. So come on Peter open the door and get him in PDQ.

[EskWeston 696]

The sooner we get this deal done the better, it is looking like it will happen sooner or later, sooner would be better than later obviously. It would be nice to have him in for the opening game against Pompey. Does the Van Der Vaart move open the door for Robinho to leave? It opens it a little, but i think until Madrid sign a forward they will hold onto Robinho.

Nothing will be resolved with this until Aug 31st according to some media this morning

Well it is certainly possible! But they are making assumptions about Madrids stance in all this. I hope it doesn't drag out that long though.

[Milan 17,849]

Well, according to AS.com Real will now open the door for Chelsea to sign him - Calderon, Mijatovic and Schuster agree

Further to media reports, Chelsea Football Club can confirm we have made an offer to Real Madrid today (Thursday, August 7) for the transfer of Robinho.

Great news.

[Gianfranco_Z 202]

Do you think they will accept this initial bid?

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I highly doubt it, I suspect they'll try and squeeze another couple of million from us.
