Robinho heading for Barcelona?
Posted by Cathal Breathnach on August 30, 2009 | 9 Comments
In case you don’t know already, Manchester City striker Robinho was today left out of Mark Hughes’ starting eleven who beat Portsmouth 1-0 at Fratton Park.
The Brazilian international has been strongly linked with a move to Spanish giants Barcelona this summer, however for whatever reasons nothing has materialised.
Robinho, 25, has previously insisted that he is happy to remain at Eastlands, however he did also admit that he would one day love to play for Barcelona.
Robinho signed for Manchester City this time last year for a British record £32 million. During his first season in the Premier League, he scored an impressive 14 goals and also scored a goal during City’s UEFA Cup campaign.
I would not be one bit surprised to see Robinho leave England before the transfer window shuts on Tuesday. It would be a real shame, however I think with all the new arrivals at City this summer, Robinho is now longer the only star at the club and I feel may growing a bit frustrated at that.
What do you think? Comments below please.

It’s just Spanish newspaper rubbish i’m afraid, Robinho himself did an interview in the News of the world this morning stating how happy he is at City and he is huge part of Citys plans. I would expect him to be at City for at least another two years as Amsterdam said.

never raid such utter shite.
A: Robinho was rested after a minor knee injury/niggle picked up on thursday at palace
B: He wants to be in a team full of stars because a; he wants to win things, b; he is tired of being marked out of the match by eery opposition player as he was last season, c; he is not a whining primadonna who wants to be the centre of attention
please stop using man city as a carthorse for your shitty opinions and shittier website, the only ppl who’s opinions matter to the boar are city fans, and nobody cares what you ‘reckon’ will happen before the transfer deadline!!!!

would be sad to see another “star” go off to la liga from the premier league, but city have a very good squad of players now. doubt that robinho would be missed if he goes.
