Sylvinho insists Robinho is happy at Manchester City.

"This club can help Robinho a lot," he told the Manchester Evening News. "I didn't speak to him before I came here, I just spoke to him after I arrived last week.

"He told me he is really happy. He is enjoying it because he has scored so many goals.

"He is one of the top players in the world and it is really important to him how the club is moving forward, how it is changing.

"He is really happy that the club has now got Adebayor and Tevez, because that helps him a lot.

"It puts the club on a different level, and it does the same for Robinho. He is one of the best players in Brazil and plays for the national team, so this kind of help will be really important to him."
