Robinho's shirt of questionable value

On Saturday, after Stoke had defeated their visitors despite having a man sent off, he sprinted up to Robinho and asked if he might have his Manchester City shirt. The Brazilian duly obliged. "It's quite a collection I've made so far this season," Whelan said. "I've already got [Wayne] Rooney's and Robbie Keane's."City fans, however, may question whether the trusting Whelan had got what he thought he had. After suffering yet another performance by Britain's most expensive footballer that was about £35 million short of his supposed value, they are entitled to believe that in fact the Stoke man got his hands on the attire of an impostor.
