FT 3-0. Robinho looked excellent, can't wait to see him in a City shirt next week.

no doubt, and he linked with Jo well..

Jo played only 4mins.. just linked well with Robinho. Great to see the trio (Elano, Jo, and Robinho)...

oh, and Robinho scored a super goal.

Playing Bolivia later, Wouldn't mind our players getting a bit of a rest tonight as someone made a point about if Robinho was to play the Full 90 he may start on the bench on Saturday, which may not be a bad thing if he can just c'mon for say half hour.

when Jo, Elano and Robinho are all playing for Brazil and they are knocking the ball around nicely, do the Brazil supporters chant "It's just like watchin CITY":D:D

Maybe he will start then???

Mark Hughes is eager to give Robinho his Manchester City debut against Chelsea on Saturday.

Robinho completed a shock British record move to City on transfer deadline day after previously expressing a desire to play for Chelsea.

The forward is currently on international duty with Brazil and had been facing a race against time to return to his new club ahead of the weekend's Premier League fixture.

However, City have funded a private jet to bring back Robinho, along with compatriots Jo and Elano, and Argentine defender Pablo Zabaleta, to ensure he is available for Chelsea's visit.

With Martin Petrov injured, Robinho could start the game on the left wing and City boss Hughes is anxious to see the former Real Madrid man in a blue shirt as soon as possible.
Invaluable

"We couldn't have got the lads back in time on scheduled flights, so we have had to make other arrangements," Hughes told the Manchester Evening News.

"I will make a judgement on what I see, but it is fair to say that there will be a reasonable chance that Robinho will be involved.

"I think it is always important to get a player assimilated as quickly as possible.

"I did it with Vincent Kompany and he excelled and I have done it in the past. Some players can instantly cope with the different demands placed on them by the Premier League and some players cannot, so I think it is important for me to know that situation straight away.

"The likelihood is that Robinho will be involved. The great thing about Robinho is that he offers us options as to where he can play and that kind of flexibility is something I am always looking for in players.

"He can play wide on the left, behind a striker or alongside a target man and that will be invaluable. He is the sort of player who can affect the game wherever he is on the pitch.

What do you think about tonights match v Bollivia? Will robinho be in starting line up? What about Elano and Jo? And: When will Berti finally be called to the national squad
