i hope not. he's one of my favorite players. first of all, i don't think he'd fit the chelsea kind of player, and i can't bear to see him playing crap, defensive football.

ALX8725

honestly I don't think he would be able to hack it in the Prem, he seems like such a fragile player...

goes to ground rather easily, not because he dives, but because he's weak

Grant is gonna try changing Chelsea into a more attacking team. I'll expect them to make moves for the likes of Deco, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Messi etc.. to move away from the boring team tag that got from Mourinho...

Lets just say I'd much rather they got Robinho than Kaka, or even Ribery.

McCool

I don't think Grant's staying at Chelsea

VoetbalWizard

i think he is. he'll just go back upstairs and be a director or summat. i think he enjoys the behind the scenes football work over being in the spotlight as the gaffer. nothing wrong with that. i'd personally rather be a director of football/technical director over a gaffer.

MJWHY

.... but wouldn't this mean Chelsea are wanting to sign a player of creativity????? This definately goes against the grain!

Rowem

Well whoever the manager, I think Roman wants a more attacking team, so whether or not Grant is in charge I expect them to make moves some big name/flair/attacking players.

Robinho has had a very good season, finally seems to be fulfilling his early promise.

crappycraperson

Had a very good first half. Injuries ruined the second one. Think Chelsea are bound to go for a really big player this summer. If they get Robinhio, I won't be too worried.

Alex

Which is why it would be so stupid to have him move now

RedKaos

Real Madrid player, couldnt give a shite if he ended up at Chelsea.

Agent - Chelsea want Robinho
Brazilian star unhappy at being included in any move for Ronaldo


Robinho's agent claims that he has held initial talks with Chelsea as his client feels undervalued by Real Madrid.

Vagner Ribeiro is upset that Real rate Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo higher than his client and are willing to include the Brazilian forward in a swap deal for the Portuguese star.

With Chelsea having reportedly already tabled a 36million euros (£28.4m) offer for Robinho, Ribeiro has told Madrid that unless they begin to appreciate their player more then he will have no choice but to leave.

"It's true that Chelsea are interested in signing Robinho," Ribeiro told Spanish sports daily AS.

"They have been after him for a while and there has been much more contact since (Luiz Felipe) Scolari became the new Chelsea coach.

"I met with (Frank) Arnesen in London and he confirmed to me that Chelsea wanted my player for next season."

And he told Globo Esporte: "Neither Robinho or myself like that Real Madrid are prepared to use him as part of an exchange in their bid to sign Cristiano Ronaldo.

"We do not understand this attitude and we want them to begin to value Robinho because they are not at the moment.

"Robinho is as good if not better than Cristiano Ronaldo. The difference is that Ronaldo reached the Champions League final and Robinho did not, but if he had and won the trophy too, then he would be considered on the same level."

Priority

Despite claiming that Chelsea could be an attractive option, Robinho wants to stay at the Bernabeu if possible, but only if the club's attitude towards him changes.

"Robinho's priority is to stay with Real Madrid, but he cannot be in a place where he is not valued and for the time being he is not, and I am not talking about financially," Ribeiro continued.

"I refer to the fact that he is being undervalued in comparison to Ronaldo.



Think he's calling Madrids bluff rather than any desire to join the renties.

AttackingFlair

@ how deluded his agent is.

Justin

His agent's such a comedian

peterstorey

Yeah, there were some question marks over his attitude as well. I'd be happy if Chelsea blew £30M on him rather than spent their money elsewhere.

Nanison

Would love to see him in the EPL, a real entertainer, great to watch.

Name Changed

I hope they get him so we don't.

Red Indian Chief Torn Rubber

He is an outstanding player. Has finally started fulfilling his enormous potential. I hope he comes and proves all his doubters wrong.

Smash-E

Robinho on 1 wing, and SWP on the other.

Quick, short and weak.

Lot 49

Marca reckon that Robinho could use the Webster ruling to terminate his contract this summer like Gutierrez did to join Newcastle the other day.

While I think the Webster ruling is terrible and that if these type of deals become popular that will be bad for club football I won't exactly be shedding a tear if Madrid lose a valuable player this way.

It will apparently cost about £8m for Robinho to do this which is a pretty spectacular bargain for any club that could persuade him to make a switch.

Brwned

With plenty of dynamism, incisiveness and potential.

CapeTownRed

SWP is far from weak.

hycool

Robinho is overated

RedRover

He may not be as weak as he should be for his size but he'll never be that difficult to out muscle.

He's also one of teh most overrated players in the league. irrespective of his size his control of a football is shocking and he cant beat the first man from a cross. He's from teh Aaron Lennon school of "kick it infront and run after it".

At leaqset Robinho seems a bit more skilful - having said that he won't like the physicality of the PL and he'll have to up his work rate and hsi end product to have any chance over here.

REd FUn DevIl

If you can see Lennon and SWP having good games then why the feck cant Robinho ffs? Robinho is 1.75 and weight more than the midgets.

Brwned

People don't realise that the South American leagues are very physical. Defenders in it are more often than not awful positionally and so just hack down whoever comes near them. Some of the worst tackles are made there.

But then so-called experts like Andy Gray give the Premier League this reputation that it is the most physical league and all of the other leagues pale in comparison. That's far from the truth. Hasselbaink said he thought La Liga was more physical.

The Premier League is more physically demanding fitness wise but that's about it.

KingEric7

He could definitely do with doing a few leg presses before coming to the English league.

KeyserSoze

If there is any truth in that it would obviously be a great deal for any team.

Canuckred64

I have heard that Robinho is listed at 1.75 meters which is about 5'9''

But is he really that big, I have never seen the three of them together, but I though Robinho was about the same size as Lennon and SWP.

KeyserSoze

He is much bigger than both of them. They are around 5'5".

Giggsy05

Robinho would get kicked to fuck and then hide in this league he is way overated
