View Full Version : Robinho
I'm quite new to the board and have not noticed much discussion on this lad, IMO he is outstanding and probably the best young striker in the world. He reminds me of a young Ronaldinho but better, he certainly has the tricks and a better goal scoring ability.
At the moment he is dying to get away from Santos due to the kidnap on his mother and he is in the shop window for 14M according to his agent. Chelsea and Real Madrid have been in talks with him already although I feel Milan would be a far better option for him, as he will know Kaká from the time spent in the National squad with him and they will of built up a good understanding between each other. He is still very young and the language barrier at Chelsea could affect his potential and playing ability. At Real he'd be competing with Ronaldo, Morientes, Owen, Raul......where as at Milan he'd get a fair crack of the whip.
An attack that consists of Sheva and Robinho with Kaká behind would be the best in Europe IMO and one that could be built-on for years to come......Galliani get the money out.
Opinions?
Adriano... Robinho... who are we? Brasilian NT....:wth:
We represent Italia so the best choice is Gila, take Borrellio back or even Cassano...
BTW, real has a strong link already wit him so... forget him......

Sheva and Robinho would be very nice indeed. What I like about the upcoming transfer market is that there are so many good striker options on the market, should Crespo indeed go back Chelsea at the end of the season.
Robinho, Torres, Bojinov, Gilardino and Cassano would likely all do well next to Sheva, but at the end of the day Torres and Gilardino seems the most likely options given circumstances.

Robinho seems impressive, but I haven't seen him enough to make a firm judgement.
As for forwards, Gilar seems most realistic at the moment, but personally, I dream of Adriano or Tevez (I know about the attitude problems of late, but its not as bad as Cassano and shouldn't be a major issue if he does come imo)
Everything I'm hearing seems to indicate Chelsea are in pole position for his signature.
However, he has indicated a desire to one day play for Real Madrid.
[QUOTE=Henrik]should Crespo indeed go back Chelsea at the end of the season.
I thought that was the deal anyhow. We got him for just this season milan doesn't have a buy option or am I wrong?

It is a one year option, but it could be extended if both clubs agree. Not likely to happen though, I imagine
They don't particularly want him, and he doesn't want to go back.
Either he signs for Milan permanently, or finds another club (most likely in Italy, though a Spanish move isn't out of the question)
i think if he preforms well then milan will sign him permantely
i never saw robinho to be on honest... but i can imagine him being similar to etoo
sheva and etoo.... that would have been a dream pair... we shouldve got him

We may represent Italy but I feel our priority should be the results on the park no matter what nationality the players are. Pele has come out today and said Robinho will be his "successor", you don't get that kind of plaudit if your not special.
Although Robinho has also come out and stated he wants to join Real Madrid, it could all changeas a week ago Real were in pole position, then it was Chelsea and today it is back to Real.

I wouldn't really make too much of Pele's comment, he comes out with something like that about every month or two. Good example is he said the same about Adu a couple of months back.
Mk, I guess Etoo and Robinho are similar in a lot of ways, but Etoo is physically a bit bigger and stronger, while Robinho is probably a little more skillful and better at taking players on.

If Italy can't produce Adriano, Robinho type of players then we'll have to look elsewhere for them. :devf:

Wrong. Robinho lacks the physical presence of Eto'o. Robinho is basically a small, lightweight guy with extremely quick feet and Garrinchaesque dribbling abilities. Think of him as a young Denilson. Entertaining player, though I don't think his style of play is suited for Serie A. He'll be better off playing in Spain.

wai wai wai.... Robinho is another god ... the same type of players we do not have in Italia... hahahahahaha ridiculous.... he is a dribbler like Denilson de Oliveira... do we really need such lad in Milano... :dontkn:

Agree with you, ilgenio. As for your comparison between Denílson and Robinho, the only difference is that Robinho score much more than Denílson.
He'll probably end at Madrid, but I'm not sure if he's prepared for La Liga.
Last year, our U-23 NT played a tournament called Copa Oro, at Mexico/USA, and at that time two players were clearly ahead the rest of the class - and ready to play in Europe: Kaká and Luisăo. Alex, Diego, Carlos Alberto and Nilmar showed good things too and all of them are playing in Europe as well. Robinho took part in that team, didn't made a splash and since then I've been waiting for the next step, but it never cames until the present moment.
He scored a lot of goals in our national championship, but it's a weak one. Even our B NT, who played in last Copa America, is filled with players from Europe (Mancini, Maicon, Luisăo, Juan, Gustavo Nery, Renato, Júlio Baptista, Alex, Diego, Adriano, Luís Fabiano, Vágner Love etc.). It's really hard to evaluate talent here nowadays because you only have bad players to compare...
But a change would be what he needs right now.

Damn! WE REALLY NEED ROBINHO guys! Our team is quite old! Our defence and strikers are old, midfield is okay.. we could really do good with Robinho. Milan haven't spent much money on transfers of the last 2 season, which we won so many cups (ie. we got alot of profit).. Milan always say that they want the reasonable buys, and cheap ones.. But I think buying Robinho would be AMAZING. I mean, did you see him play?? For all those teams in the world now dreaming to have Ronaldinho, but can''t get him cuz he wants barca 4 life. This player wants to leave his club, its about time Milan make a big buy.. this player is EXCELLENT. I really hope hope hope that Milan work to get him. Meanwhile, on goal.com, it is reported that Real already signed with Robinho, but I never believe goal.com, its all rumours :/.

it's the kind of player people get excited for in the Transfer section and Milan will never sign

Good point, but you can't blame people for trying to keep the transfer forum alive between the actual transfer seasons. :)

nope but i believe he's the kind of player milan will never sign, there are some who are eligible by milan instead, even though much more unlikely
im not very convinced about him...
why do real want him anyways??!?!?!?! those idiots!

As he is skillful, rakes in the goals and has the potential to be the best player in the world.

Robinho don´t play like Denilson!!! He playED like Denilson!!!
Thank´s God(for us , brazilians) Robinho realizes that he needs to improve his game 1 year ago. He start to work on his finalizations, and he now, know the time for dribble. He also improve his head game.
Sorry, but everyone saying that Robinho is only a dribbler, don´t watch he playing this year.
Another thing, right now he can play(and great!) as striker, wing or midfield.
I am not really a fan of him. But I guess it won't take long to find out how he fits in European football....I'm sure he will end up in Real Madrid very soon......but first his mother's situation needs to be resolved, otherwise he obviously won't leave Brazil, I wish him all the best in this difficult moment.
Robinho seems impressive, but I haven't seen him enough to make a firm judgement.
As for forwards, Gilar seems most realistic at the moment, but personally, I dream of Adriano or Tevez (I know about the attitude problems of late, but its not as bad as Cassano and shouldn't be a major issue if he does come imo)
ive seen bits of robinho and hes very skillful i think hed link well with kaka and sheva :beach:

Its ridiculous how milan always ignores players like this.. we always like to take the very unpopular player so that everyone says that 'milan discovered' the player.. (like Kaka, Pancaro Dhorasoo, and hell, even Cafu!)

if u find our signings ridicoulous then i suggest u find another team because our signings have been the best over the last half a decade... big names dont neccerarily mean a bigger team. and whats wrong with having the discovered player if he is what we need? and besides all the players u named had a bigger name than robinho ebfore joining us... panacaro and dhorasso are old timers and are already proven.. kaka was wanted even more than robinho is now

where were u when cafu won a couple of world cups with brazil?
where were u when dhorasoo won the french league with lyon?
where were u when kaka was pursued by clubs more than Real alone? :w209:
Well Rivaldo and Rui Costa were among the biggest names when signed by Milan. The Rivaldo signing turned out to be a disaster and Rui Costa, who even though has played well for Milan, probably hasn't been worth the E40 million paid for him. On the other hand the signings of Kaka (8.5 mil) and Cafu (free) have been much better.
However some big signings have been really good, like that of Nesta and of Shevchenko. Overall the management is doing a good job of combining big transfers with good value for money signings. Its probably going to continue like that with a striker as a big signing (Gilardino or Torres) and some cheap transfers (maybe Solari/Jankulovski and Cassetti/Mesto)

Robinho is an exciting talent, although at this point he still has a lot to do. One thing I wonder is, if he does join us, I can't see him doing much other than maybe doing a similar role to Serginho and being a squad player who is used in attack and wide areas.
Does anyone know much about Piriquito, I've never heard of him, but it seems Cafu thinks very highly of him
We may represent Italy but I feel our priority should be the results on the park no matter what nationality the players are. Pele has come out today and said Robinho will be his "successor", you don't get that kind of plaudit if your not special.
Although Robinho has also come out and stated he wants to join Real Madrid, it could all changeas a week ago Real were in pole position, then it was Chelsea and today it is back to Real.
The only thing that would matter if we got an italian or a foreigner would be that UEFA is thinking of making a rule where the will be a maximum of 5 foreign players on the pitch or something like that. Personally, I think that idea sucks, and would be a step down for the football...
Ok, end of discussion ;-), Robinho will join Real Madrid!
