Robinho: Let Me Go to Chelsea!

Real Madrid President Ramon Calderon has been very public with regard to his views over what he feels is the incorrectness of Cristiano Ronaldo being held against his will by Manchester United – now his principles are going to be given a stiff test after Robinho has asked both his president and manager Bernd Schuster to let him go to Chelsea.
Robinho made the request during a meeting in London today:
"I want to go to Chelsea (unlike Elvis Costello! - Ed) just as Cristiano wants to go to Madrid – it’s the same thing.”
Real Madrid had hoped to keep the skilful attacker in Spain with an increased contract offer although the deal falls short of what he can earn at Stamford Bridge, however, what seemed to be the straw that broke the camels back was Calderon’s offer to use Robinho as a make-weight in the Ronaldo deal - this public gaff by Calderon looks to have made the Robinho transfer to Chelsea possible.
I can’t imagine any Manchester United fan or Alex Ferguson wishing to see one of their closest rivals for silverware strengthened by the likes of a player of Robinho´s calibre – but I bet one or two might even smile a little at this latest development.
Over to you Ramon! Let’s see if you really do believe that it’s wrong to hold back a player that wants to move! You could even celebrate the fact that your club is involved in such an important transfer – just like you urged Ferguson to do!

I reckon within a day or two he´ll be at the Bridge.
