"Robinho is interesting but not essential"

Coach Josep Guardiola and Captain Carles Puyol agree that it would be a good thing to have Brazilian star Robinho playing for Barcelona, but it's not the most important requirement right now.

What's more, Guardiola is not keen to commit to a permanent contract and would initially prefer to take the Brazilian footballer on loan till the end of this season.

In the other hand, Manchester City head Mark Hughes claims that Robinho is comfortable at the club and they don't inted to sell him.
