Hope Chelsea screw Madrid up with their persuit of Robinho like what they did to us with Ronaldo.

It looks like the same case isn't it?
Robinho wants away ---> Ronaldo wants away
Madrid not willing to negotiate ---> Man Utd not willing to negotiate

Robinho's agent has revealed the Brazilian's anger and dismay at his treatment by Real Madrid and says that he cannot stay at the club if he wishes to become the world's best player.

Wagner Ribeiro pulled no punches as he told reporters that the Samba star has become completely disillusioned with life at the Bernabeu after the club's treatment of him this summer.

Now Chelsea have made a formal offer for Robinho the split between the player and Madrid has become even wider and the problems have now been exposed by Ribeiro.

"Chelsea have made a formal proposal to Real Madrid for Robinho. I do not know the amount, but the offer has been made," he is quoted as saying in Marca.

"Robinho is very angry with the way that the directors of Real Madrid have behaved towards him.

"He calls me every day to see if anyone has told me anything about his future and I have to tell him that I have received no calls.

"I have spent three days trying to speak with some of the directors at Madrid, but they have all disappeared.

"Robinho does not understand anything. He wants to be the best player in the world, but at Real Madrid he cannot achieve that because they treat him like a normal player.

"He has liked nothing about the way that Real Madrid have gone about their transfer activity this summer."

Madrid were reported to be ready to include Robinho in a swap deal with Manchester United for Cristiano Ronaldo and it is the Spanish club's pursuit of the Portuguese star that caused the problems, according to Ribeiro.

"Real Madrid wanted to sign Cristiano Ronaldo and have not been able to. The second option was Van der Vaart. The third one was Villa and then in fourth place is Robinho," he continued.

"Things cannot be like that because he wants to be the best and he does not have the support at Real Madrid. He is also certain that Real Madrid is trying to sign David Villa."

In recent months, Robinho stated that he only wanted to stay with Real Madrid, but that was before being made to feel like he was down the list of the club's priorities.

"Robinho's plan has been to play for Real Madrid for many years and then go back to Santos. Where is he going to find a better club than Real Madrid?" Ribeiro said.

"But now he does not have the support he needs, and he knows that Scolari is willing to give him that because he knows him and speaks to him often."

Talking about retribution. I doubt Robinho could leave, but lets hope Chelsea fuck them up like how they fucked us up for Ronaldo

Alex · 9th August 2008, 16:35

I actually hope Chelsea don't get Robinho, Mr. Fuckhead #347, Phil Scolari was one those who publically encouraged Ronaldo to move(I am sure he said something to Ronaldo at Euros as well). The plan was for Madrid to get Ronaldo, so he could get Robinho on the cheap from them. In closing I would like to say, Fuck you Calderon, Fuck you Madrid, and Fuck you Big Phil

loki · 9th August 2008, 16:40

I hope they at least end up with an unsettled player at their club for their efforts. He's a quality player and if he moved could be a great addition to Chelsea, depends on how he adapts to the physicality. Better if he stayed where he is and went on strike

Raven_Blade · 9th August 2008, 16:40

I hope this drags on as long as possible. Give them a taste of their own medicine.

Alex · 9th August 2008, 16:42

I guess the EPL is the best league in the world

Scolari never encouraged Ronaldo to join Real and Ronaldo never asked for his advice on the matter, either, for obvious reasons.

What happened was, in one of the interviews Ronaldo actually quoted Scolari's line on how sometimes an offer comes along that's just too good to turn down or something like that but that was taken out of Big Phil's interview on how he accepted Chelsea's offer and had absolutely nothing to do with Ronaldo/Madrid saga.

"Robinho does not understand anything. He wants to be the best player in the world, but at Real Madrid he cannot achieve that because they treat him like a normal player."

He'd certainly fit in with the egos at Chelsea (Ballack, Terry, A Cole, Essien, Lampard, etc.). But how on earth would Chelsea make him the best player in the world? He's simply never going to be. He's more suited to Spain. He'd be knocked down a dozen times per match in England. Don't think he'd hold up for a full year but he might prove me (and others) wrong. Personally I find him a bit over hyped yet still an amazing player.

He probably wants more money, which he CAN get at the Bridge

"He is so strong mentally and he is in control of his own destiny - and because of that Manchester United can do nothing to hurt him.

"It is his dream to play for Real Madrid and I am sure Cristiano will fulfil his dream whatever the difficulties."

"He told The People" - that's the key phrase in that piece. If you believe in it, then you should assume everything else written in that rag is also true.

So apparently Scolari who steadfastly refused to comment on anything concerning Ronaldo throughout the Euros decided to break his silence and share his inner thoughts with People.co.uk. Yeah, i can see that happening.

I see. I don't honestly care in the slightest, but I wouldn't think that The People would make up a whole article of quotes and Scolari didn't do anything about it.
