Talk:Robinho

Robinho nickname at some sites/newspapers

It`s not necessary to add it to the article but some sites/newspapers, especially the Brazilian football news site Futebol do Interior [1] nickname him Ingrato (ungrateful one) [2] because he turned his back to Santos when he was trying to leave the club to join Real Madrid. He intentionally missed 1 month of training and Brazilian League matches during that period. PMLF 05:24, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Robinho the black pearl

Although real madrid are the best team in the world because of the 9 champion league record i think they should play robinho right wing. His creativity, pace and STEP-OVERS will really help him, it will also help him to get into the brazil squad because brazil are known to make a lot of world class strikers and they lack right mids. David Beckham aint really doing that well playing right mid, i saw robinho play, he's got good crosses which is very usefull there.

That may be but this is not a message board, it's a discussion of the article. Maybe you could find some articles that suggest this and include this in the article? It is an interesting idea Oreo man 19:05, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

"Maradona peaked at a much younger age than Pele "

I deleted this because it's 100% false. With 17 years old Pele won the world cup and was considered the best player in the world. A 19 year old Maradona was not even called for the 78 world cup.

External Links

What happened to all the external links? some of the websites had very informative pieces which complimented the article. Can somebody help me put them back?

I removed them because most were just fan sites. If there is specific information on those sites, then add it to the article and cite the site as the source. Clearing out the official pages was an accident, so thank you for putting those back. --SparqMan 19:57, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Arrival

It says he joined his fellow Brazilians including Cicinho, who didnt arrive until 6 months After Robinho.

Requested move

Robson de Souza → Robinho or Robinho Paulista — Someone moved the page because the name Robinho not unique. But the currently Real Madrid player famous enough to just shorten to one word likes Ronaldo. Matthew_hk tc 11:38, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Oppose - Better to leave at his actual name, unless he is only known by the nickname. Certainly that "Paulista" is wrong. -- Beardo 16:34, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Support - Brazilian soccer players go by one name and in the context of the world game, Robinho refers only to one individual, the one in question. If in the future there are other Robinho's, they will get something added to distinguish them (i.e. Ronaldinho Gaucho, Juninho Pernanbucano, etc).Galen13 15:55, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Discussion

Add any additional comments:

• Paulista is the Demonym of Sao Paulo state. It use to disambiguate people, likes Juninho Matthew_hk tc 11:40, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

• • I checked, there is many Robson de Souza, with different middle names. Matthew_hk tc 16:36, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
