After months of speculation and wild rumors, a deal has finally been stuck between Brazilian striker Robinho and his current club, Manchester City. Although the striker has made attempts to hide his unhappiness at the English club in the past, the January transfer window clearly seemed far too tempting not to act.
Robinho will finish out the season with his childhood club Santos, located on the east coast of Brazil.
So what does this mean for Manchester City now that Robinho is gone? Well, fortunately, it won't change much. A major reason for the Brazilian's departure was the inconsistency of his playing time at City. With Brazil in the World Cup this summer, Robinho is looking to secure as much playing time as possible to ensure his fitness and readiness for the competition.
As such, with talent like Carlos Tevez, Emmanuel Adebayor and Patrick Vieira currently leading the team, Robinho was only promised a start every other game by current coach Robert Mancini. This clearly indicates that the striker was not seen as a necessary asset to the team (which is stupid because he is quite skilled). City, who sit in 7th place with a record of 10-3-8, had better hope they improve their status lest they start to regret letting Robinho go.
Robinho will be with Santos from ow until August 4.
