Robinho is desperate to make his return from injury, claiming he is ready to "explode" for Manchester City.
The former Real Madrid forward, the first major signing of the Abu Dhabi United Group era, has found himself the subject of intense media speculation, as a deal with Barcelona is said to be a viable option in the winter transfer window.
The Brazilian, 26, has not helped quash the rumours as he stated earlier in the week that it would be easier to achieve his ambition of being recognised as the world's best player at the Camp Nou, not the City of Manchester Stadium.
However, Robinho's latest comments show a willingness to perform for Mark Hughes.
"I'm going through a good moment, my level of football had a drop in performance," he is quoted by the Daily Mail as saying. "I'm very aware that I have to improve and I think now is the time when I explode."
He conceded that he would not be keen on rushing back from injury. due to the World Cup taking place next summer.
"I have to exploit my game at the World Cup. It would not be worth pushing myself now and then doing nothing at the World Cup. My recovery has to go step by step."
Robinho is currently nursing a stress fracture to his foot. He is expected to return at the end of November.
