Yes he is. He came in as the next Pele and he hasn't done anything. He is an extreamly inconsistant player that might have an amazing game, but then has a ton of lousy ones. Robben >>>>>>>> Robinho.
I've been watching Robinho play since his days at Santos and he plays very well. He's a creative player that needs more space and freedom to make his own decisions on the pitch. The first problem is comparing him to being the next Pele. There is never going to be the next anything per-say. Also, I've never been a big fan of injury-prone Arjen Robben. He's too much of an issue. He's a great scorer at his position, but he's so limited elsewhere. I'd rather have Robinho, unless he wanted to leave. In this case, I agree that is good that he left because an unhappy player only causes problems in the back.
Robinho is a flashy player, but isn't effective. He spends a lot of time doing stupid little tricks, but at the end he doesn't do anything with it. Robben has had that long awaited surgery and should be fine from now on.
We'll have to agree to disagree here. Surgery isn't always the answer, look at Nesta for instance. In any case, I personally believe Robinho did a great job for his role at Madrid even though he fell out of favor with Capello, but he's heading to a club that could use him more effectively now. In the end, everyone is happy.
