Manchester City boss Mark Hughes is confident of keeping hold of Robinho.
The Brazil forward made it clear in a television interview he is staying put, maybe for five or 10 years.
Robinho's comments, though, have come as no surprise to Hughes, who continues to dismiss speculation linking the player with a move to Barcelona.
Hughes said: "I know Robi's feelings. He is very happy around the place and with life in Manchester. He always has a smile on his face.
"He is playing alongside good players in a good team. He knows he can be successful with the club and the players that are here already. He likes the way we play and wants to be a part of that.
"Robi was frustrated earlier in the season because he wasn't playing. Now he is playing perhaps people will start speaking about his performances."
