An inside source, codenamed Ivan Helguera, has been quoted as saying "I tried to dance with Robinho but he said I wasn't Brazilian enough. Then he sucked his thumb". Real Madrid have thus far refused to comment on the thumb-sucking, but did say that Robinho had been sent to his room for an 'undisclosed' reason.
The problem, apparently, is that the Brazilians have formed a clique within Real and insist on dancing with each other. Roberto Carlos and Ronaldo are surely old enough to know better, but you can't blame Baptista, who is made from wood. Robinho, it has been decided (by me), is at fault the most. His previous history of spitting his dummy out is counting against him, added to the fact he's the smallest so he's easy to kick.
Another source at Real said Robinho is "overrated, crap and spends his time poncing about doing flicks and nothing real". This quote may or may not be real.
Anyway, the imminent arrival of Robinho's mummy might mean an end to this situation, but Robinho has been heard saying he refuses to dance with Beckham because he smells funny. In the opinion of this reporter, he needs a good slap around his ridiculously small head.
Guti is said to be 'heartbroken'. Floppy haired peasant.

He's been in the national team recently because Ronaldo stepped out of the Confederations Cup for a rest and the coach excluded him from qualifiers as well.
He's good though, Robinho. He's a different type of player to Ronaldo. Ronaldo is more like a traditional striker, Robinho has more Ronaldinho-esque flair. The endless stepovers get a bit tiresome, but he's a good player. I don't know why you reckon he thinks he's brilliant. Maybe you should watch some Spanish football. Do you have the appropriate rip-off channels?

Yes, I know what he is. I also know Ronaldinho and Kaka are more talented, both of them are faster and they have better shots. All Robinho can do better than them is sulk. Ypu really think he'd have this rep if Pele hadn't called him 'the next Pele'?

Because he made it abundantly clear that he thought himself better than Santos and refused to play/train for them until they sold him to Madrid.

Hate to say it, but I've actually 'seen' more Spanish football than you ;) I've seen him play for Real Madrid twice and watched the Confederations Cup on Five. Look, I just don't like him. I think he's overrated and immature.

The only reputation he has is for being a part of the most drawn out transfer saga ever to happen. Apart from with you, where he has a reputation for being a whiney sulky baby blue blanket boy. I think most people think the jury's still out on his ability.

But they had already agreed to sell him, and then went back on the deal, so it's t-t for tat. He wanted to play for the best team in the world. An immature move not to turn up for training when he was still a Santos player, but then, as we've all heard about Wayne Rooney, "he's still a young lad learning the game, he'll calm down etc etc blah etc"
That was one bad move, it's not as if he's had a twenty year career of being awkward.

I watched the Confederations Cup too, and seen him play for Madrid two or three times. The only person who he could be overrated by is Pele, and Pele's seen a bit more of him than you.
Oh, and didn't I mention my house is next door to the Bernabéu? You should've guessed from my address really, "2, Bernabéu Drive, Madrid" is surely a giveaway. I've seen way more Spanish football than you.
So I bought it. Now I live there with Lionel Messi. He cooks for me while he can't play.
They call me The-One-Who-Is-La-Liga in Spanish.
