Robinho Is Precisely The Type of Player I DON'T Want at Chelsea!

Asher KentonSep 4, 2008

Being a Chelsea fan, I now know to some extent how other clubs felt, when Chelsea proceeded to buy some of the biggest players in the world.

My first reaction to Manchester City prizing Robinho away from the Blues was fury.

At Real Madrid, for messing Chelsea around and generally acting in a snide way so as to keep Robinho away from their European rivals. And at Man City, for coming in at the last minute and stealing away the player who was supposed to complete our squad.

However, I've had some time to think about the situation, and have come to a rather different conclusion. Throughout the summer, Robinho desperately wanted to come to Chelsea, apparently because he wanted to be reunited with his beloved former Brazil manager, Luis Felipe Scolari.

He moaned and whinged, and did everything in his power to leave a club where he was largely considered a first team regular. He only stopped just short of comparing his situation to modern slavery.

This so-called love for Chelsea and urge to join them went completely out of the window as soon as the first other club came knocking for him. At the end of the day, he wanted to further his career wherever that may be.

This has just been echoed by Scolari, who has suggested that Robinho only joined Manchester City because of the money, and that his advisors where perhaps never serious about him joining Chelsea.

A good player he may be, but exactly the type of player that could upset any dressing room. Certainly not someone I want in my footballing family. I mean, Chelsea already have enough moaners in the squad (think Anelka, Drogba).

Chelsea may have missed out on their first choice summer signing, but a real blessing in disguise this may be, as their are plenty of other world class strikers.

Besides, Abramovich's next move will be more than interestingโ€”how will he attempt to compete with Man City, who have already got one over on him?
