The Blues trailed the Brazil winger (pictured kneeling) throughout the summer before City nipped in with a late bid on transfer deadline day to seal his signing from Real Madrid for £32 million.

"I am sure that Robinho would be the best player in the world if he came to play at Chelsea," he told Brazilian daily O Globo.

"The Chelsea doors are always open to him."

Attacking midfielder Robinho, who has made 11 Premier League starts for City and hit eight goals, scored a stunning scooped finish in City's 3-0 win over Arsenal on Saturday.

Chelsea were held 0-0 at home by Newcastle.

Man City have meanwhile been linked in the media with a £60m swoop for Chelsea captain John Terry, as well as a cut-price £1m deal for Toon striker Michael Owen, who is out of contract in the summer.

  1. Blue is the colour of £5 notes and that is the colour that JT likes !! We broke the British transfer record to pay for Robinho - who clearly btw loves it at Man City - and the money we paid was only a weeks interest on the owners fortune so ok 2 weeks interest to pay £60m for JT and it looks to me like there are 8 weeks between now and the transfer window at least.
    It's money that will talk sadly !

  3. second rate team? thats what chelsea were before the russian took over.

    Man city are building a world class team, and as long as they buy the correct players they will have one, so why would they want to sell the best player in the world for?
