Sir Bobby Robson has told Hugo Vianna"s agent to back off form the pressure of letting the under 21 international go back to Portugal. Robson goes on to say that if he let"s Vianna go it would not be till the end of January.

Robson has to take some of the blame for the way he has failed to develop the player's skills. Let's face it, Hugo's never going to acclimate to the English game by watching from the bench. Robson has another young central midfielder (Jermaine Jenas), who he plays match and match out. Jenas had an outstanding debut season last year, but he has struggled this year. Still, he is always out there.

Robson could certainly deploy a formation that would make up for Hugo's weaknesses. Instead, he would rather suffer through 0-0 draws with Charlton (yesterday), and comment that he is happy with the draw. :nono

Jenas has had an on-off season, but every time Hugo plays he's a clear liability.

should let him go back to Sporting, he was never use at his regular spot, if Bobby Robson needed a wing he should went after Quaresma, Simao or Ronaldo
