Robinho's Blues deal broken

Robinho's agent claims his move to Chelsea is now officially 'broken' as Real Madrid are refusing to contemplate parting with the Brazil striker.
The Blues were reported to be willing to pay up to £30million to lure the 24-year-old South American to Stamford Bridge.
New manager Luiz Felipe Scolari had made the acquisition of his fellow Brazilian his number one priority after taking the reins last month.
However, it now seems increasingly likely that the former Santos star will be staying in Spain for at least one more season.
"The dream of Chelsea is broken because Real Madrid will not even negotiate," agent Wagner Ribeiro told the Daily Star.
"It is impossible to advance any conversation.
"Next summer we will sort out the situation if people can show some sense."
