Robinho has promised to show Chelsea they were wrong not to increase their offer for him when he makes his Manchester City debut against Luiz Felipe Scolari's side next weekend.

The 24-year-old was expected to move from Real Madrid to Stamford Bridge this summer, only for City to seal a dramatic transfer deadline day swoop for the Brazilian.

Robinho said: "It is Real's fault that I did not sign for Chelsea but it is also Chelsea's fault.

"I don't think they managed it very well. They waited until the last minute and it turned out badly for them.

"My head was at Chelsea but now that is forgotten. I know Scolari is upset with me but these things happen.

"When I play against them I will show that they were wrong not to raise their offer.

"City presented the offer five hours before the deadline and until then I had not been thinking about them at all."
