The long drawn out drama between Robinho and Manchester City has finally reached an end.

The Brazilian star originally signed with City after failing to secure a transfer window deadline move to Chelsea, who at the time was headed by Felipe Scolari. He was never happy with the squad and is the reason, along with Elano, that Kaka did not decide to move from Milan to City a few summers ago.

After failing to secure a longer loan period with his home club Santos, Robinho and his representatives were shopping the striker to Barcelona in an effort to reunite Robinho with La Liga.

This year, however, Robinho was actually able to secure a last second transfer to one of the world's most successful clubs, and he will join other Brazilian stars Pato & Ronaldinho Gaúcho.

Milan signed Robinho to a four-year deal and had to pay his former club Manchester City a transfer fee of €15 million Euros, a far smaller sum than the €42.5 million they originally paid to bring the Brazilian over from Real Madrid.

Perhaps now that Robinho is actually on a team he wants to be on, he may begin to play better and for a more consistent length of time. Perhaps he will begin to take the game and its off the field requirements more seriously. But then again, he also had the same opportunity when he moved to Real Madrid and he failed to deliver on his potential promise.
