Manchester City signing Robinho has hit out at Chelsea over their failure to land him from Real Madrid last week.

"It is Real's fault that I did not sign for Chelsea but it is also Chelsea's fault," Robinho told The People. "I don't think they managed it very well. They waited until the last minute and it turned out badly for them.

"My head was at Chelsea but now that is forgotten. I know Scolari is upset with me but these things happen.

"When I play against them I will show that they were wrong not to raise their offer.

"City presented the offer five hours before the deadline and until then I had not been thinking about them at all."
