Robinho birthday bash at heart of furious Man City strop

Robinho's birthday was at the heart of his furious bust-up with Manchester City boss Mark Hughes yesterday, it has been revealed.

The Sun says Robinho’s future was on a knife-edge last night after a furious flare-up with Hughes.

The £32.5million striker was raging after City went back on a promise to let him go home to Brazil to celebrate his 25th birthday with his family.

Instead he was forced to join the squad on a training break in Tenerife.

A City insider said: “He felt bitterly let down. As far as he was concerned the manager had said he could go then changed his mind for no reason.”

Blue stev....WAKE UP! U have just had a bid of around £100 MILLION REJECTED (and again) REJECTED because the player said im okay thank you!
Look the player is loyal but not loyal enough to turn down 500,000 a week. He didnt want to come to your club because 1 - you have absolutely no history at all aka you have won nothing, 2 - Your club is full of bog standard players and he will be carrying your team through the relegation battle with the aid of Robinho (who is already sick of doing it himself!), 3 - There is a strong possibility Menchasers City will be relegated and it is agro moving club then moving back and contract negotiations etc etc.
Blueste you are a joke mate u go on about how important the football is and how much your club are about finding success and not throwing money around, then tell me this.....How much did you pay for Robinho? Ill answer my question also £32.5 MILLION, this was not only the highest premiership transfer EVER, but the sum was only accumulated so as you could offer more money than Chelsea or any other club! This is pathetic and no matter how much money your amatuer football club full of idiots has, you will still have no history and real "big" players that you want to attract start receiving offers will notice this and hopefully care more about football than cash like Kaka and tell you mancs to go home! Roque Santa Cruz - hes been in the premiership for one season done reasonably well and suddenly here come City flashing £26 MIllion LOOOOOOOL why dont you go all out and offer 30 Million for Kitson hes doing well atm. A lot of people have forgotten that Chelsea picked Pizzarro over Santa when they were both up for grabs! He wasn't that great at Bayern so basically Blue stev can you justify why your signings are worth so much cash - give it a go I fancy a laugh!

To . who daren't put his/her name, (after spelling mine wrong, he or she has probably forgotten hers) in response to my post, you have basically just proved my point. We as City fans, or as a club believe that money alone doesn't guarantee success. If you actually knew any City fans, you would also know that we respect Kaka for his decision, and admire his loyalty, as we have been some of the loyalest fans around. You will also find the majority of City fans around the world are either from Manchester originally, or have family from Manchester, cos lets face it, its hardly based on ***** success is it you daft twat. So with your excellent use of caps lock, as though this wins an argument, you ***** and run along and support your plastic club you have no affiliation with, just to boost your own ***** little ego.

wahaha.. bluestev.. so u mean pple can only support the team which plays in ur neighbourhood? so every team in future will only be watched by the locals. LET ME TELL U SMTH, U ARE NO DIFFERENT FROM ANY MAN CITY SUPPORTERS, BE IT FROM ASIA, EUROPE OR AFRICA, U GUY ARE ALL DUMB FOOLS WHO BELEIVE $$ BRING SUCCESS.. CONTINUE TO DREAM.
