Robinho had taken charge of scoring goals and breaking ankles in LaLiga for Real Madrid. But his time at the Bernabeu was drawing to a close and it was widely speculated that Robinho would go to the Premier League and join Chelsea.

However, things did not pan out that way. Manchester City, freshly revived thanks to the oil fields of the middle east, swooped in and scooped Robinho up. And Robinho has now revealed to FourFourtTwo the reason behind that move.

He starts off by making his intentions, at the time, clear.

It looks like the botched deal was Chelsea’s own doing. The Blues were a bit too reckless and jumped the gun.

But Robinho does not regret moving to the Blue side of Manchester. He adds,

A little bit of patience and things could have worked out very differently for Chelsea.
