Infesta, youre defending that if a player hadnt explode with 21 years, he cant possibly be a crack in the future. At least this is what i understood. But there are many cases of players that show their best face past 25 (ex. Deco, Carvalho, Lampard...), on their matureness.
No, not that. I'm defending that if a player like Robinho - who relies on speed and a few tricks - didn't evolve noticeably to something better in the past 3 years he won't explode when he's past 25.
I want to see him do well after all defenders in La Liga know his scissors move; I want to see him do well when he's defended actively like we do here in europe - not just staring at him waiting for a move, like it's common in Brazil; I want to see Robinho excel when they put 2 bodies on him, like defenses do on Joaquim and Figo...

hmm well Robinho is one of the best players in South America and is world famous...
your point....?
He's not even one of the best 5 players from Brazil; he is world famous for his 78651 scissors on the Brasileirão final and especially for Real Madrid wanting him!
If you don't understand what we're arguing about that's not my problem, mate.

Virgo, here's what will happen after his first game for Real: he'll be overhyped, even if he doesn't do anything that good. All his moves will be replayed many times on televisions throughout the world. That's what happened when Ronaldo, Zizou, Becks, Figo had their first games for Real Madrid.
But the Madrilenos aren't known for their patience, so either the kid is consistently good or he'll start feeling the pressure on his shoulders. And that's when things will get interesting, imho.
I tell you one thing, though: Robinho is smart. Real is the ideal club for forwards who don't want to defend.
