It is a worn-out cliché, but nonetheless: what goes around comes around. Reports in the English media today suggest that Chelsea are using a lesson learned from Real Madrid to sign Brazilian star Robinho.
The Spanish giants were hoping that Cristiano Ronaldo would try to force his way out of Old Trafford by demanding a transfer or going on strike. In the end, the Portuguese trickster has done neither, but according to The Guardian, Robinho is ready to go on strike to facilitate his move to Stamford Bridge.
The same report mentions that Chelsea have already made a bid worth nearly £20 million and that the player has made his desire to play under Scolari public. Real Madrid, however, will be extremely reluctant to let Robinho go until they find a suitable replacement.
The manner in which Robinho would join Chelsea looks set to be a copy of the way in which the player forced his way out of Sao Paolo three years ago. In 2005, Robinho went on strike to force his club into selling as he was then chasing a dream move to Real Madrid.

Robinho should go on strike to facilitate his transfer to Chelsea. He did it two years ago and should be left to take his decision. Since he wants to go to Chelsea, fine, he should be given the go ahead.

Chelsea wants Robinho to improve their strike force and since he is willing to come to Chelsea, he should be left to his fate. CHELSEA forever

Whatz up Chelsea fans. We want Robinho. Madrid should let him follow his dreams
August 19, 2008
As we all know,there will be battle upon battle,but the exprienced will won the battle,I hope that Alex F,and his slaves of manu fan is watching.its never a doubt that chelsea is the most hated club in england,but the love and joy it brings to the world is so amazing.For Robinho,its a great deal to see him in blue,coz its in the blood.I know we are still the best if actually he did not play for the almighty blues.I saw Alex Fergie telling Harry,Reknapp,that the fire was too much,and wanted to ask the FA to deduct 30 points from the blues at the end of the season.I was suprised to hear that the video will not be aired.Stamford Bridge is a hell this season,though we will welcome the good,bad and ugly with a resounding victories expecially manchester ronaldo.Ashioma u are a true blue its in ur blood.

Notice! Notice!! Notice!!!
It’s of our own interest that we make this annoucement to our beloved Manu fans,as frm today 17 aug 2008,the name of our football club has been changed to manchester ronaldo,formally manchester united.Please all public should noticw this.As u can see taht without him we are nothing.We do not have any regret for this,it’s for our own good.we ve’ also turn from red devils to red cristiano,coz devils are meant to live in hell fire,we decided to make the changes coz we didnt want the blues to send us in hel where the devils resides.we regret to announce that we ve failed our fans as 1 million of them have left us to join other clubs in the championship.Our only option as to retain the premiership is to pay handsomely to the match officials.We will talk to the Queen about that.She has been helpful for the past 2 seasons.

Real Madrid are forced to let Robinho go, after all they want to set the example to Manchester United and Ronaldo, that they will not keep a player agaist his will.

I think Real have the right to hold to him, give him a little bit of the raise and let him continue to shine with Real. I don’t think he’ll like England anyway.
