He kind of touched upon that.
I think its clear as day Shevchenko was the worst ever premiership signing in terms of value for money against goal return for a striker. What the writer is stating is that Shevchenko was just shit....Robinho WASNT shit but just couldn't be arsed (ie. Shevchenko just couldnt cut it in the premiership...Robinho could but didnt due to his bad attitude).
Its sensationalism really as its obvious he isnt the worst of all time but I get what he means. Robinho was a very selfish player and still is and any club he goes to he causes trouble. It was the same at Real Madrid when he was there.
13th Duke:
One thing about Robinho I will say thats positive is...without Robinho as a flagship signing the rest of the stars may not have followed. He was the one that made everyone stand up and think 'fuck, City might actually go places'. It was a great statement of intent.
Obviously you can argue the big first signing would have come anyway considering the money being thrown about, but someone needed to join and Robinho had the balls to do it (or simply stupidity and greed whichever way you look at it!).
So as a goal return and performance on the pitch he may ahve been a flop considering the transfer fee, but in terms of what his signing meant for the club it was probably one of the most groundbreaking moments in Manchester City's history because it was the first time they truly showed world class ambition.

yeah i know what he was getting at...but having a bad attitude dosent make you the worse player....if his article was 'the player with the worst attitude in premier league history' then he would have a point but robinho despite his attitude still turned in quite a few good perfomances certainly more than sheva did

oh most definitely. I agree with that. But Robinho could have been so much better and threw it all away.
Mind you, theres no reason Robinho can't come back from Santos in 6 months ready for next season and still be a success. He might come back better than ever for all we know so he might get a second chance.

yeah i dont think he will though if anything the next 6 month is a chance to put himself in the shop window...plus i know robinho is disruptive and does have a poor attitude...but i dont think hughes helped matters by signing just under a 100millions worth of players to play in robinhos prefered position...especially considering he was the owners signing not hughes...obviously mancini dosent really fancy him either...i did say at the time he'd be better off at chelsea
