Robinho says Chelsea want him. Do we?

By: Jack | May 23rd, 2008

Real Madrid’s talented young winger with the lone name has revealed that Chelsea will lodge a bid for his services. Robinho, a 24-year-old Brazilian with a knack for sucking (his thumb), said that our Blues are willing to cough up £28 million to pry him away from Madrid. Robinho has been reportedly a target for Meelan and the red cesspool that is Manchester United — though the youngsta played down a move to Fergieville.

“What could happen is that I could go to Chelsea, as I have an offer from them,” Robinho said. “Milan are also interested in me. The Milan directors have asked to hold a meeting with Wagner. There is nothing from Manchester, that’s all just speculation.

Robinho’s agent, Wagner Ribeiro, revealed he met with Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon on Thursday. A fee for the player was supposedly discussed.

“I met Peter Kenyon, Chelsea managing director, in London on Thursday,” Ribeiro told Brazilian TV station Globo. “He told me that they (Chelsea) were considering making an offer of 35 million euros for Robinho.”

Seems viable. Now, the rest question: Do we want him?

No. But that’s only because I prefer Mr. Ribery on the left flank.

What do you guys think of the possibility?

    Don’t see why not…I personally would’ve given Malouda another chance though..

    agree give malouda and kalou the left for now, they getting better with every season. Chelsea as a team at the moment is pretty good no real holes anywhere. I think when ppl start leaving we might be in trouble but if we can last if carvalho, drogba, lampard all leave. We have so much quality that if those 3 leave it will still be a great team.

    I honestly think he will be great for the team …. Kalou/Malouda could go while Robinho comes in for either of them but then 28 millions is way too much for him we could try to beat down the price

    Sure. Who’s wouldn’t want the gifted Brazilian in their team. Time to take the spotlight off Cronaldo.

    We have to get Willi Entenmann as our new manager. He has the experience to lead us to everything we can imagine.

    are you guys serious? robinho is miles better than malouda. he’s also better than salomon kalou, but kalou brings a different style to the attack which I like. robinho also brings the offensive flair of attack that abramovich wants to see chelsea play…I’d love to see robinho come to chelsea, to fulfill the role he plays now at madrid. he’s not a prolific scorer, so he can’t lead chelsea’s attack but he can create opportunities for whoever takes drogba’s spot since he’s probably gone.

    I’m hoping for zlatan ibrahimovic…which will never happen. but I can dream, right?
