Whether it's rumour-mongering or not, the agent of Brazilian star Robinho has said that the striker almost moved to the Emirates in the summer. Citing bad man management from former Real coach Fabio Capello, Wagner Ribeiro held talks with Pedja Mijatovic [Real Madrid's sporting director] and said that the Brazilian was unhappy and wanted to move, and that Arsenal were willing suitors.
Mijatovic said: "In the summer of 2007, I spoke with Pedja (Mijatovic, sports director of Real) and told him that Robinho was not happy because Fabio Capello had put him on the bench and would not play him.
"Robinho had a proposal from Arsenal and I told him that if things continued as they were, he would leave for London.
"But Pedja said: 'Do not let him leave, Robinho will be the best in the world and I want that he remains in Madrid.'"
Would we have pursued Eduardo, if Robinho had indeed arrived at the Emirates?
