Robinho ask City manager to sign more Brazilians
Robinho says City has to improve the defense and sign brazilian players
"We have good players but if the club wants to be big, we have to sign more," Robinho told Setanta Sports. "I have suggested Kleber, the Santos left back, Thiago Silva who plays at center back for Fluminense, who's been playing very well. The coach (Hughes) mentioned Luisao, who is Brazilian and plays for Benfica."
"The team needs to improve the defense," Robinho said. "When you build a house you have to start from the floor. You have to start from the bottom, the defense, and then you fix the attack.
"Who would I sign? If I could choose it would be Kaka and (former Brazil striker) Ronaldo."
Robinho seems to forgot that he’s just a player and not the CEO or manager of the club, so these recommendations should have been done on private conversations and not to the press, as their current team mates could understand that Robinho is disrespecting them as players.
Mancheseter City has to believe that we are a great team
"City have good players but the mentality of a small side," Robinho said. "They are content with just finishing fifth or sixth. They are content with little, thinking just a draw might be good enough. They lack is the mentality of champions. I have learned that being second is worthless so I want to inspire a winning mentality.
"You can only be content with winning. You need to want to beat Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool. Maybe I have changed this a bit but now City have a project to become big, the mentality has to change."
