What’s the story? Robinho, the great unrealised talent. At one point he was going to be the best in the world but despite some impressive achievements in his career; 5 league titles in 3 countries, 3 trophies with Brazil, it still feels as if he’s winding down a career of what could have beens. Tevez would be an excellent addition, the slower pace of football would suit him perfectly.Does it make sense? Yes. Robinho gets to go home and Tevez can escape Manchester, removing headaches for both selling clubs in the process.Is the price right? £8m a piece should be fine.Will it happen? 9/10 – makes sense for all concerned
