Ciy fan here...

Robinho burnt his bridges at Madrid. They tried to flog him as part exchange for the tranny from Man Utd...and understandably Robinho was pissed off. When they failed to buy the tranny, Real started with the 'your so important to us' crap, and Robinho didn't buy it. He called his own press conference because he wanted to leave and then Real stopped him from going to the Olympics...which actually made him cry.

He was going to the Chavs but Big Phil wouldn't meet the asking price so Big Al stepped in and slammed down £34.5m big ones.

Thing with Castillo is, i don't think he is anywhere near match fit. And he dislocated his shoulder and never regained his place....or fitness.

Hope he gets his chance though because i've seen too much good stuff from him in the past for us to just let him go.
