Robinho rates spending spree

Manchester City ace Robinho has urged his club to carry on spending in a bid to break the domination of the big four in the Premier League.
The Citizens have already snapped up Gareth Barry and Roque Santa Cruz this summer, with Robinho hoping that Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o can also be persuaded to head to Eastlands.
"If Eto'o comes too he will add even more talent to the squad," Robinho was quoted as telling The Sun. "I hope the club keep signing players with that quality. If so we will be almost unbeatable.
"A player like Santa Cruz is more than welcome and I've heard a deal for Carlos Tevez will be sorted very soon.
"That would be great because Tevez is a world-class talent and I would be happy to play alongside him.
"It is very good to know my club is going for top-quality players like these. Now I hope we can get Eto'o as well.
"Is the club chasing too many strikers? No, I don't think so - Manchester City wants to be among the top teams in the Premier League and in Europe.
"To do that they must have at least three or maybe four top-quality strikers.
"The season in England, with the league and the cups, all the games we play, is very demanding."
