EskWeston 696 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,959 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Well, according to AS.com Real will now open the door for Chelsea to sign him - Calderon, Mijatovic and Schuster agree http://www.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=809125 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gianfranco_Z 202 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Do you think they will accept this initial bid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I highly doubt it, I suspect they'll try and squeeze another couple of million from us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zola25JT26 0 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Do you think they will accept this initial bid? Not expecting them to, especially when they claimed that the reported £48m bid wouldnt come close. Having said that, I think they will hold out for £25m, and I hope we go for him (£30m should be the ceiling, IMO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bombayblue™ 55 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 If we do get robinho for less than 20 million, i'd say hats off to kenyon.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Considering discussions have gone on with Madrid for some time now, and coupled with the stories previously that Madrid are now prepared to let him leave this confirmation on an offer made is exciting news. I would expect us to maybe have to up the offer still to probably around £25m as is being reported in a lot of papers this morning. But it looks like it is finally going to happen and we will get Robinho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it looks like it is finally going to happen and we will get Robinho. Looks like he will be playing at SW 6 soon. Not that an impressive record at Real - fell out withCapello and Schuster hasnt utilised him to his best. Absolutely phenomenal with his Brazilian club teams, and I reckon Scolari will revitalise that. My doubts would only centre round the almost certainty that he'll be injured quite a few times....

Don't think he has had too many injury problems. Was quite important to Real last season, and when both available he was picked over Robben. He will be ideal for us, able to play wide left in an attacking sense and also as a second striker should we play 4-4-2. Would be good to have him in place for the pompey game considering our striking options will be limited for that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Para6iT 2 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Bring him here (s.bridge) now! He's the perfect one. besides he had mentioned to join Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,333 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Doubtless Madrid will come back and say they want more -the figure will probably settle @23-24 million., but this probably wont be concluded for a while yet I feel. He was benched first four months of 2006-07 season. Scored 11 last season, but I've a feeling Scolari will get the best out of him..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badboy 1,526 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
