Robinho's future at
Manchester City has again come
into question.
The News of the World says Robinho's City future looks doomed after snubbing
the club's Christmas party for foster kids.
City boss Mark Hughes was
furious after the £32.5million Brazilian ignored his instructions
to attend last Tuesday's bash at a bowling alley in Didsbury.
Robinho, 25, is alleged to
have laughed at team-mates as they set off after training while he
went home. Embarrassed City executives were forced to send a
chauffer-driven car to fetch him from his luxurious Cheshire
home.
But even then Robinho had to
be coerced into finally turning up TWO HOURS late - just as the
children were about to leave.
Robinho had been billed as
the star attraction and an eye-witness inside the Parrs Wood Centre
told the News of the World: "There was disappointment
among parents and children.
"Everyone knew who to blame. They probably wanted to see him
more than anyone else.
"All the other players and the manager were fantastic.
"You could tell they had little ones of their own and they were
totally at ease with them.
"They were a credit to their club and their profession.
"But the feeling was that Robinho had shown some very unfortunate children a
complete lack of respect.
"It just shows how one person can let the whole side down."
