Robinho To Move On Loan?

Sky Sports is reporting that Robinho is looking to move back to former club Santos on loan until the end of the season so as to ensure that he is playing regular football prior to the World Cup.  As a player known in England not to perform well on away fixtures this is a move to very much home surroundings.

Robinho's City career now seems as good as over and should a bid be received it may well be accepted for a summer move.  Robinho moved to City for £32.5m in 2008, just three seasons after moving to Spain from Santos. 

Manager Roberto Mancini clearly feels that Craig Bellamy fits the bill and is ahead of Robinho in the pecking order, with sufficient cover both up front and coming in from the left with the other squad members. 

And yet another Brazilian Superstar follows his wallet whilst his talent dims.   At 26 though, there perhaps is still time for Robinho to recapture some form with a move to a sunnier climate, should of course he be prepared to agree to a sensible wage.
