Robinho deals looks doomed

ChelseaChelsea's hopes of signing Robinho are hanging in the balance after the player trained with Real Madrid on Friday morning.

The Blues were hoping to wrap up a deal for the Brazilian ace this week and there were even suggestions he would make his debut against Tottenham this weekend.

However, with just four days to go before the transfer window closes, Chelsea's chances of landing the player are looking slim.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon says the player has been badly advised by his agents and hopes he will eventually stay with the Spanish giants.

"I think it's normal that a player says that he wants to leave and in the case of Robinho I accept that as being totally normal. It seems to me that it's a mistake, but it's his problem," said Calderon in an interview with Marca.

"I think that his representatives are advising him very badly and I have a lot of faith in the lad. I believe he has a lot of quality and could be successful here. But I say it again that I have to defend the interests of this club in the best manner possible."
