Robinho agent slams Madrid

Robinho's agent has accused Real Madrid of disrespecting his client after reportedly attempting to use the Brazilian as part of a deal to lure Cristiano Ronaldo to Spain.
Real are desperate to land the Manchester United winger, but Vagner Ribeiro is angry that Robinho's name has been linked to a potential deal involving the Portugal international.
The Brazil forward has also been linked with a move to the Premier League with Chelsea.
"Neither Robinho or myself like that Real Madrid are prepared to use him as part of an exchange in their bid to sign Cristiano Ronaldo," said Ribeiro.
"We do not understand this attitude and we want them to begin to value Robinho because they are not at the moment.
"Robinho is as good if not better than Cristiano Ronaldo. The difference is that Ronaldo reached the Champions League Final and Robinho did not, but if he had and won the trophy too, then he would be considered on the same level."
