Robinho: Transfer Rumours Are Affecting Players
-
With super-rich Manchester City languishing down in 13th in the Premier League, Brazilian Robinho has offered an explanation for the team’s current woes.
Robinho, Manchester City's £32.5 million record signing, believes that the players are being unduly affected by the fear of losing their places in the team with the constant transfer rumours linking City with big-money signings.
The Blues will no doubt splash some of their Dubai cash in the upcoming transfer window and the threat of the axe is according to Robinho one possible cause for their current under-performance.
"It is incredible that with this squad we have appeared to be fighting relegation," Robinho said in the Daily Mail.
"I must admit I don't really understand it and it has been the one question talked about more than any other in our dressing room. One theory I have is that the constant rumours about possible reinforcements in January have damaged us in some way
"Some of my team-mates do perhaps fear for their future and that is not positive, I guess. But there is nothing we can do about that apart from try not to let it affect us.
"If we show the pride that we did in the last game then we will be okay," he said. "We will get better and better and the things that have happened in the last few weeks will be forgotten about.
"I have to say that still I am not really happy with my performances," he said. "People have not seen the big Robinho yet. They have not seen the real Robinho.
"I want to be king of Manchester City. I said that when I left Real Madrid, but I don't think I have achieved it yet."

Lol can understand Joe Hart's feelings.
Newspapers made it look like City were desperate to go all out for Buffon. 250k pounds a week iirc.
