Robinho Thread

- A player that can't take his team to the next level.

Perfect description of Robinho right there.

perfect description of almost every Milan player

Ibra + Pato would explode if Ibra didn't need to go back to defence to get the ball and pato would get proper service from the midfield and fullbacks.

Not a given.

Ibra's had better chemistry with pippo, which tells you exactly how many brain farts pato has.

if pato could ever put it all together (i'm talking mostly mentally) that'd hold true.

Cause his finishing and technique are great. But his brains kind of sucks, which is why he tends to score on counter opportunities where he's running in space.

A team doesn't consist of 11 player who can "take the team to the next level"... Only Barca and Madrid have more of those types of players than us. We've got Ibra, Pato (who has the ability), Thiago and Nesta. That's good enough. It's our complementary players who're not on a better level than needed.

Robinho is talked about like some great talent, but that's not true. Like that Sergio guy said Robinho is just an ordinary player. Good to have in the team, but no one you can expect great things from. His fans are fooled by his technique and flashy playing style.

when he's on form, i.e 2nd half of last season.

whether he lacks link up play or whatever bs ppl will come up with, if this guy has proper service, he will score.

the fact that he managed the best goal to min ratio in Milan last season and 2nd in serie A with this garbage behind him is very good.

2 idiots at FB and this midfield will make it hard for messi and cristiano to score.

Agree. Robinho never seemed like a special talent. Good player, that's about it.

5 goals in 23 games +
8 Assists

Better than Pato. But still feel that are strikers are over rated
eg. Cassano can't run and last for more than 45 Mins
Robinho can only do fancy tricks
Pato is never consistent and is never playing
Inzaghi has just lost it, although can still run
El Shaarway has no strength
and Ibra is too impatient for success, and i can see why.

 

[Master Smurf]

He is a cherry on top player.

The best I have seen Robinho as a alpha player was his first time at City and the Copa when they won. Even his time at Santos, Diego was running the show.

Prince and Pato have shown more ability to be game changers than him but he is currently important to us because Cassano is gone, midfield lacks creativity and he plays well off of Ibra when on song.

To me very similar to Crissy Ms Prissy though Ronaldo is infinitely better at killing weak teams and finishing but when a game is in the balance and you need grit, both will be found wanting.

Some players are men, others just play and have fun. We have Ibra and Thiago; Prince isnt fully there yet and Nesta and Boss are hanging on. Many of the others need to get in gear.

Paulo Sergio was a great player.. a world cup winner.. did well in Bayern, Roma and Leverkusen, he only couldnt do the 'pedalada'.
I would prefer Paulo Sergio over Robinho.. no doubt about it.

That he had zero contribution in winning that World cup. Does that make Roque Jr better than Maldini? Robinho actually contribute to Brazil winning 2 confederation cup and a Copa America.

 

[Sage]

robinho shined in a time where his competition were luis fabiano and vagner love

paulo sergio had to beat ronaldo and romario

 

[Australiano1980]

After Silva and Ibra, Binho is our most important player.
He's fundamental.

i think today we had a few names before him. cassano, boateng, aquilani, nocerino, bommel(very important to protect the defense).

That he had zero contribution in winning that World cup. Does that make Roque Jr better than Maldini? Robinho actually contribute to Brazil winning 2 confederation cup and a Copa America.

Paulo Sergio beats Rivaldo for that spot.

Robinho forgot to grow, he had many oportunities.. now apparently he knows his place.. sub players on attack for milan. Cant expect much more of him, maybe a few month of good moments like last season.

He had service every year before this.

Why is Matri scoring more than he did with pirlo? Why did pippo score more often in 08-09?

When are we going to realize Pato is a still very immature and doesn't actually get how to play football. Like I said, counter attack is his only real mode of conssitent goals.

I mean, he really doesn't get how to properly play. Put pippo's brain in his body, and he'd score 50 with this team

it's disgusting how it's never 'pato's fault'.

Come on now - you know better

it's disgusting how it's never 'please insert fault'

-Ibra, Clarence, Pirlo, Allegri etc etc.

Everyone has their guy and can usually argue for them.

Robinho is CRIMINALLY underrated. I don't even intend on wasting my breath on people who think he is not a great player. Its their problem really.

Keep believing that.

 

[MilanReality]

Robinho isn't underrated or overrated.

He is loved by those who enjoy flair, a passion for the game, lightheartedness, and who understand the value he provides to Milan

He is hated by those who expect Messi, who hate perceived arrogance, or who don't understand his value to Milan.

---He has proven time and time again, when coming on as a sub, how he can completely alter our clubs performance for the better. It's just a fact.

He doesn't make a change like Silva or Ibra. nor will he ever. But the team is far better with him, than without him.

Excellent self-reinforcement there.

Robinho - fragile, inconsistent, average - as he has always been in his career. But he fits our tactical requirements better than our other fit forwards. But play him as a second striker. In the CAM role, he's a giant joke.

Cassano's injury this season is the unluckiest thing that has happened to Milan in ages.

The early Robinho injury was a very unlucky thing for Milan too.

Zlatan-Cassano against Juve, two static forwards in a game where we needed pacey forwards who work hard off-ball(Binho)

Pato-Cassano against Barca, a game where a pacey, hard-working, counterattack-material forward like Robinho or creative targetman like Ibra would've been much more useful than Cassano

 

[MilanMB]

Cassano's injury this season is the unluckiest thing that has happened to Milan in ages.

Truth.

Was thinking about this just a couple of days ago. That FORM he was in.

Damn.

 

[Ashish]

I love like cassanta like i love my ronaldo jersey but he is not that great against teams which press him hard, for teams defending with 10 men, cassanta is so bloody awesome, I am talking out of mu mind with respect to last season. this season he was on a roll so we never know. shit i miss cassanta as a second striker man was fast and creative .. so brasilian

Very, very few attackers, if any, are good when teams put a lot of pressure on them - when they don't have a good (ball playing in our case) midfield behind them.

Welcome back btw.

 

[Goodfella]

Cassano gets marginalized when teams push us back to our own half and he is frustrating to watch esp when partnering Ibra against teams who dominate us possessionally. Robinho would've been much more useful against Juve and Barca than Cassano.

no if he was at his prime and fit .. it wont be a problem , cassano is a treat to watch .. like lil zola


thanks

Comparing Cassano to Zola?
Boy, you crazy.

Again, attackers easily gets marginalized when the midfield can't hold possession or be an outlet you can trust.

Robinho isn't that useful against any team. All this talk about his runs are getting ******ed. They're good, but it's not like he wins us game with them.

Robinho's runs isn't even the best thing with him IMO. Him being able to hold on to the ball is much more important than his runs given the midfield we have.

Cassano's vision (which Robinho has NONE of ) and touch is more worth to us than 10 Robinho's.

 

[Ashish]

now you are taking it too far .. robi is not that bad

 

[MilanMB]

No, he's not that bad, that's for sure. But he really is nothing special, not even close. I'd love us to get rid of him and get Tevez instead.

that's like saying I'd like to get of cassano and get messi.
no shit.

 

[MilanMB]

Well, some people seems to think Robinho is to important to even get rid of, so...

 

[Casualista]

I'd rather get rid of Pato if it was a choice between our top 4 strikers to get Tevez.

 

[MilanReality]

Well, some people seems to think Robinho is to important to even get rid of, so...

because he IS too important to get rid of.

We DO NOT SPEND MONEY ANYMORE. Therefore, if we get rid of him, then what?
