Ray Wilkins says you are yet to receive an approach from us. it looks likely we will make a bid. Santa Cruz seems to be faltering so we will probably start looking elsewhere. Bellamy, Robinho and Drogba :D

Its not a contradiction. He should be fined and we move on depending on circumstance. You don't bench your best players when you are in our position. He is on his way back now anyway. There is no lose lose situation. You seem to enjoy blowing the situation up. Do you work for The Sun?

Its a confusing one that is for sure. what I know is that robinho asked for permission last week to go home, he felt that permission was granted and when Hughes told him other wise, he buggered off anyway. There is obviously an issue at home that robinho felt needed dealing with, Hughes wants to know the ins and outs before taking any decisions. Fair enough really. No way will he be benched for the Newcastle game. we could close up on the european spaces and distance ourselves from the likes of Newcastle. Its a big game for us and one that could shape the remainder of the season. The fact is, we are in Tenerife on a mid season break. Its hardly going to damage us. we don't play until wednesday. If we had a game on saturday I would be fuming. Robinho has been brilliant this season for us, he just needs to know he can't get away with this type of sh*t. It was a stupid move given the circumstances. The media are blowing it way out of proportion mainly due to the kaka stuff.

Hughes was just on SSN and refused to rule out a move for Drogba. I would be delighted with his signing. You wont get Robinho though. 32.5 million before he was proven in the league. We wont sell for less and you wouldn't stump up that figure 5 months ago. No chance. As for Johnson, you are welcome to him. Constantly drunk with no desire to get fit anytime soon. shame because he could of been great.

No offense lads but Drogba is worth nowhere near as much as Robinho. A straight swap is not going to happen and considering as someone esle just said, you don't have the money for Zhirkov I really doubt you would have the cash fro Robinho.

HAHA can't help but laugh at The Sun giving blatant disregard to Robinho's statements. His latest being about how well he gets on with Hughes. You must remember the saga you had with him at Real Madrid. If he was unhappy he would not mix his words. A swap for Drogba? I think you would be throwing at least 20 million on top as well. f**k me the sun are funny.

Whats this guy like? What I've seen of him he looks pretty good. can't be much worse than richard f**kig Dunne.

He has since released a statement. Its fine. To be honest Cook literally landed back in England and went and spoke to the press, The reports of Robinho walking out came out late last night. I think you have to appreciate he was a little bit busy at that time. His quote is. "if he has walked out then that is a disciplinary issue." He hadn't even had time to speak to ughes. He told the reporter that and said he would call him once the interview was over. Since then the official statement has been made by Robinho. Why wouldn't I come back on? My club this time 2 years ago were chasing Freddy Eastwood and Mido. We have just got involved in negotiations to bring one of the greatest footballers on the planet to our club and taken it to the point that no one else has ever gotten too. I don't see it as embarrassing. No club in the world can negotiate at our level, it is probably the first of many hits we will take but you know for every hit we take we will probably pull off the odd superstar signing. I just hope we steer well clear until the summer.

All the talk at the moment surrounds Given. it looks as though he could be the next one through the door, after De Jong. Top keeper but I really rate Hart. He is a character as well. Arshavin excites me and he said we were his preference over Arsenal, That will have nothing to do with the fact we can match his wages in Russia though... He is not in the Kaka league but then not many are, he looks like he would be more than useful and would fit into our way of playing. Another centre back is a priority because we should be keeping Kompany there now. He is in incredible defender. Zabaleta stepped into midfield at the weekend and produced one of the best midfield displays I have ever seen at City. Full of passion and drive. After one particular tackle that involved him sliding through a player from about 10 yards and come away with the ball, he jumped up and pumped his fist. I f**king loved that. I understand we are still in negotiations with Lescott and he wants to come but Golem is refusing to sanction the deal. Whatever happens I hope Dunne remains on the sidelines or is sold. His antics were a disgrace. 30 seconds after taking the lead he gets sent off. He has cost us so many points this season with f**k ups, own golas and red cards. Another striker would be brilliant. I don't know who though. Santa Cruz looks unlikely. i don't tink we will go chasing someone like Villa, another failure in the so called "galactico' area this month would be pr suicide. Im actually quite happy with Bellamy. I didn't think i would be, but we need to create a siege mentality now and he fits in with that, you know he will give his all. The Welsh Tevez ;) I am not sure about Jo, there are alot of comparisons with Adebayours first season, but I fear he will never get the chance here. I was genuinely excited about him and would like to see him stay on but I don't know. We have scored nearly as many as you but it would be great to have a striker who feeds off the scraps.

To be honest nobody is going to find out the truth about Kaka but we will go with the its great for football line. We will ruin it again in the summer though. Of that I assure you. Best possible news regarding Robinho. Glad he has been quick to clear it up as it could of become ridiculous. Hopefully we will sign up de jong in the next 24 hours so he can get to tenerife with the rest of the lads.

Regarding Robinho, Cook admitted he had not made contact with mark hughes so did not know. Since then this statement has popped up on robinhos official website. The media were always going to go mental so soon after the Kaka saga. Yes we look a bit silly. But Kaka's quotes back up our side of the argument. He states he was interested but did not get to speak to us officially as Milan did not accept the offer. Berlosconi has come out looking the hero when we all know he is a dick. Anyone that believes his statement over ours is extremely naive. As for the Idiotic City fans posing with that cutout. How about this one. :D

Links are all working now.

Im not despondent at all. De Jong should sign tomorrow and he is a quality player! Bellamy, ok he is an absolute tosser but a pain in the arse to play against and we need that right now!! It also looks like we could get Arshavin if we really want him. He has been offered to us. As for Robinho. Its murmured he has run home to Brazil. Obviously the papers will put this down to the Kaka saga, but here goes. Put these links together. All Allegedly of course. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/...footballer.html http://www.thespoiler.co.uk/index.php/2009...-tiles-in-leeds http://www.onlinegooner.com/phpbb2/viewtop...asc&start=0 Im sh*tting myself about this one. Edit:just seen the Robinho story on SSN about him running home to Brazil. f**king hell!!!!

We are up sh*t creek without a paddle as of tonight. i have heard some rather alarming stories regarding Robinho. The press are reporting he 'stormed' out of training. When you read these tomorrow, they are a long way wide of the mark. Something has happened. As for the Kaka deal there are two sides. However the main reports state that Kaka agreed to the deal, but our dick of an executive was unprepared and as such Kaka pulled out of the deal feeling he was messed around. SSN have quotes from kaka, 'they are too cute ie us, i asked for personal terms they said half hour, then anothe 1 hour delay, this was my project, deal agreed 8 days ago. they have used me.' If that is true it looks like we have the most inept c**t in the world dealing with our business. If it is true he will be sacked by the Sheikhs so we should know pretty quickly.

HAHA, you gotta laugh!! Berlosconi, the master of spin as I was warned!! God knows if the truth will ever out but i don't believe either statement! Hope we nick in and pinch Arshavin now. He announced he is actually interested. or maybe Aguero. who knows. Haha.

Thats funny, I seem to remember seeing Robinho playing football at COMS many times this season and second top scorer in the premier league. Obviously it must be someone else in his shirt. Aguero would look good in sky blue :lol:

Nice to see the papers have not got a clue. loving the guardian piece with the 'sheiks' financial advisor who remains unnamed. More like lackey at the office. All the papers are running a seperate story. Funny stuff, however i just want this sorted now one way or another. The media spotlight is far to intense.

News of the world are reporting Real Madrid are trying to Hijack our bid........in the summer, and depending on Perez getting in. Not really a hijack is it? Apparently they have contacted Kaka's agent, straight away that is where they have gone wrong. Of course it is all bullsh*t.

Financially it would be. Because they have now admitted Kaka has a price. If we walk away, others will try with no way near the same level. Our offer has tempted them because they can rebuild with the money.

I am mate. Im dreading it though. I fear for this deal. I think these nutcases could actually force the deal to stop. But where do you draw the line? Supporters having tantrums dictating what is essentially a business? Going to be carnage, their already burning stuff. i think it is to far down the line for them to stop it, especially with Berlosconis latest comments. I hope Kaka does not play, or makes a 5 minute cameo. However I feel he will start which is insane considering a potential injury could lose them money they will never see again.

The rags that post replies from indonesia and such.

http://www.goal.com/en/news/1708/ac-milan/...-will-sell-kaka This guy is notoriously a pain in the ass. But that is, I hope, concrete proof.

Possibly mate, what the hell is wrong with Scolari? Its like blood vessel has exploded in his brain? Surely he won't last long with that carry on?

I really don't see this one at all. Judging by some of your comments on here he is slipping? Id rather us pay 40 million for Carvalho.We will get neither, The Sun are just rehashing their stories.

Well considering we only got taken over by these backers in september 2008, unless he is psychic I doubt he had a clue. Do you think Robinho was dreaming of playing for us? Course he wasn't. Im not stupid mate. I doubt Shevchenko grew up dreaming of playing for Chelsea either but you got to where you wanted to be. As for Torres, we will have to disagree. We are a threat to the top four dominance should we pull this off. It will cause a chain reaction of players looking to join us. You are quite angry about it aren't you?
