Discipline

Premier League Manchester City

comment on the article

I am sure Mark Hughes will come down hard on Robhino for leaving the training ground. After all you can't have players dictating to to the club what they will or won't do. And that brings us nicely onto Bellamy...
Some of these professional footballers drive you mad - kissing the club badge one week - swanning off in their Porsche's the next.

MH – is a good manger !! well can’t tell you now

Insider information : MH is not the decision maker when it comes to city this season , he has been kept until the Sheikh and Khaldon Gang get a big name to mange the team to the Sheikh required Glory – when I read this I start laughing
Cant wait to see city in------------------------------------------------------------------

This was bound to happen at some point, whether or not its got anything to do with kaka not joining city i dont know but that was my first thought, he really could have had a family matter which he felt he had to go home, a member of his family could be in hospital but we dont know,

like how some people are harping on about Kakas proposed wages. i couldnt see the problem?
The sheiks who are from UAE and earn their fortune there were ready to pay 500k a week to Kaka - Bearing in mind Kaka would be living in UK had it happened, that means 40% tax plus the 10% to his church and thats a lot of money going to good causes.
The recession and a church?!

I know it would have still been a lot of money but the money would effectively be going from UAE to UK

I think Mark Hughes should get Bellamy to sit Robinho down and give him a good talking to about team loyalty and discipline.

I for one totally back Robhino leaving the training ground for " family reasons ".

Imagine you were in his shoes, and say for instance there was a problem in your family like your mother had fallen dangerously ill.

You would panic and think screw the football club and use your instinct and head straight home to see if your mum is ok.

Dont get me wrong, I would tell the club 1st but I wouldn't hang about for a " it's ok, or it's not ok " from the manager to leave.

I'm sorry but lets all sit down and have a reality check. First, Robhino will be a Chelsea player by next season, Arabs or no arabs. We all know that the only reason he is at City is because Real Madrid wouldnt sell him to Chelsea and no one else in Europe at that moment was mug enough to pay more at a split second.
2. City were just a stepping stone to Chelsea, Robinho repeated publicly "i want to go to Chelsea, they are the only team i want to play for!i want to go to CHelsea, they are the only team i want to play for! Remember? (i know realty can be painful, sorry)
3. Scolari was like a father figure to him for Brazil so he knows the boss knows how to bring him the success he craves.
4. Unfortunatly Welsh isnt a widely spoken language and Mark Hughes is a nobody on the world stage and by signing one of his own over rated and over priced countryman instead of a world class Brazilian it showed Robby just the sort of class and ambition Hughes has!
So all you dreamers that is why this time he ran off to Brazil and at the end of the season he will be running down to West London. OUCH!!

You were saying this before he arrived at Eastlands or it's yet another to add to the other attempted guessworks proverbially floating around?
