Robben?

From believable rumours to unbelievable ones. John Cross in The Daily Mirror thinks that City have 'asked to be kept informed' about Arjen Robben, who may be able to leave Real Madrid for £18million should they sign Cristiano Ronaldo. For starters, I literally can't remember the last time the Mirror got anything right about City. But the rumour itself is strange too. We already have two top quality left wingers - Robinho and Martin Petrov - and while there have been quite credible stories about Hughes thinking of selling Robi I'd be shocked if we replaced him with someone who combines de Souza's inconsistency with Petrov's injury problems. I love watching Robben in full flow but I can't think of anything more infuriating than his 'two weeks on, six weeks off' fitness schedule.

But I could be wrong. We'll see.
