Manchester City new boss Roberto Mancini is hoping to keep Robinho at the Eastlands as he seems adamant the Brazilian can make history with the Citizens. Robinho's future with City came under scrutiny recently, amid his slow start to the season and the strong interest from Barcelona in his services. But Mancini, who has just been hired by City, has faith in the former Real Madrid winger's ability. "Robinho is a fantastic player. But for a big player like him, it is important to make the history of a club," said the Italian tactician. "I played at Sampdoria for 15 years. I wrote the history. It is important. Robinho can do that here."
