Man City management happy to see back of Robinho
Manchester City are happy to see the back of new AC Milan signing Robinho.
The Mirror says the Brazilian misfit cost City an estimated £45.65million in transfer fee and wages over his two-year Blues career.
The striker scored 16 times in his 53 appearances at a whopping £2.85million a goal and £860,000 a game.
Despite making a hefty loss to wash their hands of Robinho, City are relieved they are finally rid of him.
They have done well to cut their losses and they have recouped £22million in his transfer fee to Milan plus they will save around £22.5million in wages and bonus payments he would have been due over the last three years of his contract.
City can argue Robinho made the desired impact when they outbid Chelsea to make him Britain's most-expensive signing and the football world sat up and took notice of the new Premier League power.
Roberto Mancini will be relieved Robinho is gone and he did not want him hanging round the club until the transfer window re-opened in January.

So he cost £45.65m for the two years he was here, but City recouped £22m in transfer fee amd saved £22.5m in wages...!!!
So therefore he actually cost £150,000... £45.65m - £45.5m = £150,000
Not bad business when you look at it like that is it...!!!
But dont let that get in the way of slagging off City will you...
The Prem has brought in bigger flops than Robinho, and none were City players. Yes he was a mistake because he had no heart for a fight, but we will get over it and try and win the prem this season without him. Chelski may have 5 points on us at the moment, but we can claw this back after only 3 games..........trust me.
City to Shity, thats the way its going to be for 90% of the players there. You expect to mold a team but when you mold it with money you will not make it through the hoops. I see them losing to tottenham again this season. Mancini isnt a Premier league manager. Mark Hughes was the real deal for city and ready to pull the rug from the players that stood to defy.
