Robinho Opens His Mouth Again

Many people have painted Real Madrid as the villains in this new saga (they never end do they?) but let’s take a look at poor old Robinho's latest little gem and see how this modern day slave (according to his agent ) manages to survive the oppression of evil Madrid. In his very own press conference (to which he was late, btw) Robinho said again that he wants to leave because he wasn't appreciated, they love Cristiano more than him blah blah, and all his usual rants (what is it with him and Ronaldo!). Some things worth mentioning though:

1- He said Real Madrid didn't offer to improve his contract until after they failed to purchase anyone:False. they offered him one while the Ronaldo saga was underway ( I think around 6 mill. Not like the lucrative deal from Chelsea, but sure he can't be leaving for money!). I think Robinho should look at his attitude and his performances in the past seasons before asking himself if he deserved more money than that (he didn’t).

2- He sent his agent and his father went to the club many times and they were ignored:True I suppose lol. I don't know about his father, but I read in Marca that Calderon and Mijatovic have been ignoring Ribeiro and I honestly don't blame them. The man is a real 'piece of work' (I can't curse, can I?) whose sole mission is to transfer his whiny client from one club to another as many times as possible and then go home and swim in his profits a la uncle Scrooge. Not to mention that he is so in love with his own voice, he seems unable to shut up for full week.

3- Schuster is not his father:Shocking! Who would've guessed he wasn't his long lost son. On a more serious note, saying something like that speaks volumes about Robinho's personality. Schuster has been nothing but supportive to Robinho and defended him even when he said he wanted to leave; not to mention that he was the only thing standing between him and Calderon’s baseball bat. To talk like that about the man who is possibly his only remaining friend in the club sends the message that Robinho is all about Robinho (not that it wasn't obvious before, but some people refused to see that)

4- He chose to speak the day of Real Madrid's match in the Riazor: couldn’t he wait until the Classico or our game in the Mestalla? He’s turning into Ronaldo v2 (and we remember how fond Raul was of Ronaldo. Bye Robby)

I suppose money is hard to resist, but the way Robinho and his agent have conducted themselves so far is very disrespectful to the team and the fans who supported him through him ups and (many) downs. I hope he can grow up a bit in Chelsea and maybe fire his agent, but Robinho, in my opinion, has such a high regard for himself that he will never be satisfied with anything short than a king’s treatment and this may cause him many setbacks.

What do you think about Robinho’s behaviour? Do you think my opinion is too harsh or biased? (NO) One thing is certain, Robinho better wear ear muffs the next time he’s in the Bernabeu because everyone (including yours truly) will be booing him like there is no tomorrow.
