Robinho – the next Reyes?
20 comments May 28th, 2005
Young, skillful, expensive, foreign, lightweight, and a target for Real Madrid.
And, it would seem, Arsenal.
Arseblogger chips in that he’s heard we had “some pretty senior representation at Sunday’s game between Santos and Athetico Mineiro”. Promising.
I don’t want to talk about this too much, because draining the drool from my keyboard can become quite a chore.
But let me just show this:
7 stepovers. A worthy rival to Quincy if ever there was one.
In other news, Danny Karbasiyoon and Frankie Simek, our American youngsters, are among five players to be released this summer.
The Mirror, meanwhile, suggests that we will join Liverpool and Chelsea in a three way tug-of-war for Shaun Wright-Phillips. Poor little Shaun.
I’ve said all along that I’d like him to end up with us, but I just don’t know if it’s financially feasible. Stories like the Wright-Phillips and Robinho links, however, seem to suggest that the prime transfer targets are indeed attacking players, largely due to the excellent form of Philippe Senderos, who is to be rewarded with a new contract.
5-year-Phil? I like the sound of that.
Alliteration, you see.
