u know what, i think robinho been told by his agent that manchester bid for him and accepted straight away, he doesn't realised that he is going to 'other' manchester... just what i think when i heard this news...

Robinho has gone to Man City as he and his representatives realised that Chelsea were not a real big club ! they are owned by a russian fantasy football lover who hired a devious bumbling idiot in Peter, I can't sign a player to save my life Kenyon!

Chelsea only think they are a big club! they have very little history to attract truely great players. Chelsea will struggle to sustain their current position especially when abramovich gets board of his toy.

Well done city, now go and break the so called big 4 dominance!

As a Chelsea supporter, I must say, Kenyon dropped the proverbial ball on this one. Im a tad disappointed.

I really admire Robinho. He is a man of his words. i am very proud of him. How would real Madrid be thinking of offloading robinho to buy Ronaldo? For me Ronaldo and Robinho are both great stars. Except that Ronaldo may have made the greatest impact. Real Madrid think that they can fool everybody all the time. Robinho though still young has shown that he is not a coward like some others like Ronaldo who will say one thing today and tommorrow he will be saying another. A man should be confident enough to stand by his words when they have been revealed. Robinho, it doesnt really matter where you go to. You are a star and you will continue to be a star. i am confident that you will do well at city. It is a way towards greater thing s to come in life. You have taught Calderon and co that they cannot use you for football politics. I hope they will learn their lessons. i am still waiting for when you soon join my beloved club chelsea. Welcome to England where football is played to the fullest. The most lucrative league in the whole world. Goodluck. Mostbsenior from rome in Italy

Honestly left to me, Robinho has really made a mistake of his careerby going to Man city. this is a club that do fight for a place in Euro Cup competition and never smell champions league. He decided to go to man city where no one will see him shine unlike when he was in madrid. Lets ask him how many foreign fans does man city has unlike the Big four? Let him stay there sucking his thumb like a baby

Im thinking he signed for City because he burned his bridges at Madrid,and because there was only the City option 4 him b4 the deadline,he chose to go there rather than rot on the side for Real

oh chelsea will miss him!

cal me crazy,bt he may not be de world's best lyk legion of kaka,ronaldhino,zidane bt he has helped brazil & madrid tremendously in de past 4 seasons.he's a gr8 footballer tho,r'mba copa america '07.can u buy zidane wit kaka+money? or messi wit ronaldo+moey? or lampard/gerarrd wit pirlo/xavi+money? den trully robinho waz insulted by madrid 2 evn think of buying ronaldo included in dat deal not mentioning classy sergio ramos.he deservd a lil bit of respect consering dat he waz very instrumental in madrid's winning de league las season.why did dey refuse him going 2 olympics?imagine barca sayin dey want canavarro wit an exchange of puyol;dat wud an insult wudn't u agree.

Is it true he was told Manchester were interested in signing him and he woke up this morning with the realisation there are two clubs in Manchester......

man city is used to buying old horses, they simply won"t win u any bet. robinho and ronaldinho, well what a a warm place to get buried. welcome to the city of manchester"s cementary.

This has really annoyed me because Chelsea (i'm a chels fan) have been trying for him for weeks then Man City get him in a few hours! Real Madrid only sold him to Eastlands cos they know City aren't a threat to them in the Champions league or whatever. (And to annoy Chelsea I bet). Man City are just showing off cos they've got a bit of money from Abu Dhabi. First a bid for Berbatov then Robinho!!!

Well, I hope Robinho coming to the Premiership will just be a springboard for a move to Chelsea in a couple of years! At least if he turns out to be another foreign waste of money like Shevchenko it'll be City's problem.

Well Done Man City, you managed to steal Robinho from us and good luck with him as i am sure it was his desire to join you all along. Lets face it with such star quality in a team full of players that were obviously fringe players at their former clubs and a club manager who is unable to make any decisions with regards to who plays for your team, being on the golf course is more important surely?... I'm sure the Champions league beckons!

Anyway, i think the first thing Mark Hughes will have to explain to Robinho is why the shirt is sky Blue and not Red as has been pointed out in previous comments.

Unlike Abramovich who actually makes a point of going to most games and does have a keen interest in football, it will be interesting to see if Manchester City will fair so well given the corporate struggles that have plagued both Manchester United and Liverpool in recent months. Lets not forget that these Arabian consortium's were far more interested in purchasing Liverpool due to the History of the club and the global marketing potential that is associated with a team like that.

Anyway, it will be funny to see if Christiano will be tempted to join City as he has declared on how much he wants to play for Real Madrid, that must mean he's heading to you as well.

realmadrid would regret it cos they sold their icon idont even know what is biting them oh..i see oh..i found the fomula robinho was sing by perez so they whant gerbage all his belonging.

this was crazy

Sorry Maxwell. It true though! Liverpool, Arsenal, Man utd, Man city and 15 others all are valued at 10 times that of chelsea! there supporters show pride and belief weighing in at so much more than that of a poxy russian billiainare! Give me a ticket to the "supporters" end of stamford bridge and i would not go back! wuld much rather sit in the family stand at bristol rovers! Might have a real conversation with a real fan!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! that must be a big smack on chelsea's and scolari's face! HAHAHA! imagine that they start selling robinho's shirt already..chelsea must be embarrassed to @#$% now...HAHAHA!!!

I would be surprised if this is all a big mistake and he thinks it's the other manchester club he's signed for....

It's a gain-gain scenario; Robinho wants a new home and Real Madrid needs the cash. You might question if Man. City is really what he sees as a new home but understand: he can't wait till the next transfer window in January! The lad feels unwanted.

xlx_p_xlx: u talk too much!!!!!!

poor LITTLE chelsea ha ha ha ha ha ha ha i cant stop p*ssing my self welldone city looks like u have f*cked chelsea over yet again getting wright-philips back for less than half what you sold him 4 & getting robinho from under their noses nice to see the second best north team doing somthing right we hate man u & chelsea 4 eva liverpool till i die
