Robinho

[Fulham Broadway 17,299]

He has all the attributes we want to see in our wingers and Scolari clearly likes him and i agree that Scolari will get the best out of him.

I think this one may now get concluded by monday, Real seem prepared to sell. We sensibly offered less than we expect to pay as Madrid will always ask for more, we can then pay what we expected and Madrid feel they have a better deal out of it. The key is that we have done this publicly, Robinho now knows that we are serious and he will now push Madrid to get the deal done so he can move on.

Madrid will definitely want to blag more cash out of moneybags Chelsea. The best thing is that the longer Scolari is at Chelsea , the more he is a prize draw in terms of attracting Brazilians and Portugeezers.

The special thing about robinho is the way he can just burst past a player with pace, or he can just use a trick he has

a wonderfull shot on him as well.

Robinho will score a goal again Pompey, trust me.

Well now there are rumours about Quaresma joining Real Madrid, which means Madrid are seriously planning to get rid of Robinho.

Real rule out Robinho exit

Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has ruled out any possibility of Robinho leaving the Spanish champions for Chelsea.

The Blues revealed on Thursday that they had made a bid - reported to be in the region of 20million - for the Brazil forward following a summer of speculation.

Robinho's agent has outlined his client's desire to move to Stamford Bridge, but Calderon is adamant the 24-year-old will be going nowhere.

"Definitely he (Robinho) is going to stay with us. The coach (Bernd Schuster) has said he wants him in our team," Calderon told Radio Five Live.

"We don't see any possibility of him leaving Real Madrid.

"We know Chelsea have been interested in signing him. He's one of the best players we have got in our team - we need him for the next season."

We should give him 25 robinho has magic :P :P

[Kez 2,727]

Hopefully if we up the bid Real might accept

[Bandicoot 3]

We should give him 25 robinho has magic

Totally agree, 25 million is nothing for a player of his calibre

[chelseagirlkate 1]

There is no way we should just give up now, up the bid to 25 million and i think they would take it as long as the rumours about Robinho wanting to come are correct.

Why does it take us so long to buy a player? surely we would have put in a second bid in by now?

Madrid saying hes not for sale is the standard parlance for 'we want more cash'.

His agent Wagner somebody, is basically saying Robinho is desperate to play under Scolari, and that Madrid are complete cunts. This bodes well for the next week or two.

It certainly looks that way. Us announcing officially a bid was very intriguing also. Dragged on a very long time now and could certainly run to the end of the month. I would say it looks 70/30 in favour of him comming at the moment.
