Manchester City boss Mark Hughes has told the media that the club will fine record signing Robinho following his training ground walk-out in Tenerife. The £32.5m striker, a british record signing, made an unscheduled departure by flying back home to Brazil without telling boss Hughes that he had to attend some family business. Coincedence has it that it was also the star’s 25th birthday, which has not helped his cause.
It had been suggested that Robinho would escape any punishment by Manchester City for disembarking to his homeland without permission. Former Real Madrid star, Robinho, has stated on his own website that there has been no falling out with his manager and that Hughes is the boss. Hughes, the former Wales manager, is expected to fine Robinho a fortnight’s wages as punishment for going absent and has warned his samba star about his future conduct. City managed to get Robinho amidst a bidding war with Chelsea back in September, However this latest episode has alerted Luis Felipe Scolari t othe possibility of signing the wayward star in the summer when the current season finishes. Robinho never really had the desire to play for Manchester City and would have preferred Chelsea in his first move to the premiership, if it wasn’t for a last minute hike in wages being offered by City. There is no doubt that he has the ability to perform as the world class player we all know but i doubt his commitment when things get tough.
