Well, these people will be happy anyway…
After a few years living the high life in European football, it might serve as something of a bumpy landing when Robinho strings up his golden laces and steps out for his new/old club.
With that in mind, The Spoiler thought it a great idea to learn a little bit more about this weird Santos place that has snared one of football’s most expensive disappointments. Here’s what was uncovered.

Paulo Henrique - shoots from the hip
A cruel “truth bomb” has been let off today, by one of those Brazilian infants being used as bartering tools in the Robinho-to-Santos saga. One that delivers a metaphorical rabbit punch to the Man City solar plexus.
Speaking out on the rumours that he might be ushered off to the northwest of rainy old England to allow Robinho another stab at the warm Brazilian sunshine, Paulo Henrique said this:

“Hmmm, City or United?”
Contrary to opinion, The Spoiler is not bulletproof. Feelings can be hurt, criticism can cut deep, and evenings can be spent weeping into a pillow - hungry, alone, and a bit thirsty. One such night happened last night, when this comment (from someone called “R”) appeared under a transfer story, making reference to the site’s penchant for finding new ways to repeat the same joke.
“alright that monday thing about the sports writers was kinda funny the first time you used it but please stop using it every week. please be creative and think up some new jokes.”
So rather than attempt anything in the way of repetitive observational humour to introduce today’s transfer stories - from the likes of The Telegraph, The Daily Mail, The Sun, and others - in honour of “R” (who may or may not have just ruined it for everyone), we’ll keep it simple. Ahem… here are some stories in list form:

“I’m leeeeaaaving on a jet plane”
Everyone’s been there - your mum brings home a new “daddy”, he looks weird, but then he pulls out a magnificent gift from the boot of his car, and all of a sudden, he’s the best damn daddy in the whole world.
Or, at least, he is until you realise that your new toy isn’t rust-proof, and occasionally it runs out of batteries when you go on mini-breaks with your new family. Yes, sometimes it reminds you of how good it once was - perhaps on a glamourous trip to beautiful Scunthorpe, where the clouds are as grey as Clooney’s plug hole - but really, you just want new toys. It’s old hat, man.

Jinking Brazilian struggling to find a home
Once the figurehead of Manchester City’s petrodollar revolution, Robinho’s £32m shine has dulled significantly at Eastlands. So far limited to 539 fairly unspectacular minutes of football this season, the forward has failed to shake off the tag of being useless on the road, is noticeably being kept at arms length by new boss Roberto Mancini and last weekend suffered the ultimate ignominy of being a substituted substitute.
Now, according to Daily Mail, more doom and gloom comes in the form of today’s news not even his childhood club Santos are prepared to have him back - at least not on his £160,000 p/w wages.
It begs the question: surely the temperamental forward currently represents the worst value for money in the Premier League? Is there ANYBODY currently in a credible position to drop megabucks on a troubled sometimes-genius?

“Hello Hull!”
It wasn’t so long ago that Spartacus-lookalike Amr Zaki looked tailor-made for the Premier League. Dave Whelan, Wigan’s chairman, thought he was a bit like Alan Shearer, and his then-manager Steve Bruce used big words like “awesome” to describe the Egyptian.
