good buisness? bad business? and for whom? thoughts? Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: ACE2M on July 18, 2007, 04:55:28 PM bargain if he stays uninjured. one of the top 5 players in the world when he is fit regularly. imo of course
Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: Nem on July 18, 2007, 05:05:59 PM One of the top 5 players in the world when he is fit regularly. imo Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: ACE2M on July 18, 2007, 05:15:13 PM who would you rather have robben for 15m or bent for 17m? err
Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: TightEnd on July 18, 2007, 05:18:05 PM So this Zoenthe (Sp?) for £7m...going to back up Malouda right?
Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: Rooky9 on July 18, 2007, 05:41:38 PM Robben two years ago was unstoppable at one point, a bit like Ronaldo last year. If he gets that form back its great business. He should comfotably have been playing when fit for Chelsea.
Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: turny on July 18, 2007, 05:47:00 PM £15m they can have him!
2 years ago unstoppable? yeah for 5 months ffs that dont make you in the top 5 in the world im afraid. people said he was the new Zola after that 5 months lol he not good enough to lace the great mans boots! injury prone and a perenial underachiever, selfish and a cry baby imo. Chelsea will be a better place without him though personally i dont think he will go Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: Rooky9 on July 18, 2007, 05:49:39 PM how much of a bet to you want to wage on him going or not?!!!!!
Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: turny on July 18, 2007, 05:54:05 PM how much of a bet to you want to wage on him going or not?!!!!! as i say i hope he does so im hardly gona bet on him staying lol Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: The Baron on July 18, 2007, 05:55:11 PM Let me get one thing straight - I cant stand the guy.
However in a market where really good wingers are scarce he is without a doubt one of the best. I wouldn't sell him for £20m. He still has his best years ahead of him. If he leaves Chelsea it's good for everyone else. Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: turny on July 18, 2007, 06:14:15 PM Let me get one thing straight - I cant stand the guy.

If he leaves Chelsea it's good for everyone else. and good 4 chelsea in my opinion Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: Rooky9 on July 18, 2007, 06:14:30 PM how much of a bet to you want to wage on him going or not?!!!!! as i say i hope he does so im hardly gona bet on him staying lol Its exactly the type of situation to bet on... you win either ways in those ones! Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: turny on July 18, 2007, 06:20:39 PM how much of a bet to you want to wage on him going or not?!!!!! as i say i hope he does so im hardly gona bet on him staying lol Its exactly the type of situation to bet on... you win either ways in those ones! thanks for the offer but il decline this time lol Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: Nem on July 18, 2007, 06:25:20 PM who would you rather have robben for 15m or bent for 17m? err Robben, obviously. Robben leaving Chelsea will make Chelsea weaker. The problem for Robben is the tactics and playing style of the manager. Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: turny on July 18, 2007, 06:32:10 PM who would you rather have robben for 15m or bent for 17m? err Robben, obviously. Robben leaving Chelsea will make Chelsea weaker. The problem for Robben is the tactics and playing style of the manager. so if he dont suit the tactics and the playing style of the manager hows it gona make chelsea weaker? Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: The Baron on July 18, 2007, 06:40:05 PM who would you rather have robben for 15m or bent for 17m? err Robben, obviously. Robben leaving Chelsea will make Chelsea weaker. The problem for Robben is the tactics and playing style of the manager. so if he dont suit the tactics and the playing style of the manager hows it gona make chelsea weaker? Because Chelsea were much more successful with wingers Robben/Duff/Cole than with the diamond used last year. I read an interview with Mourinho two days ago saying this year he's going back to using wingers (hence buying Malouda) and Robben is better than any other winger in your team along with Joe Cole. Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: Nem on July 18, 2007, 06:41:38 PM who would you rather have robben for 15m or bent for 17m? err Robben, obviously. Robben leaving Chelsea will make Chelsea weaker. The problem for Robben is the tactics and playing style of the manager. so if he dont suit the tactics and the playing style of the manager hows it gona make chelsea weaker? Because Chelsea were much more successful with wingers Robben in the eam instead of Ballack and Lumplard Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: turny on July 18, 2007, 06:45:38 PM i disagree
joe cole is a much better player than robben and id rather have joe in the team than robben Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: turny on July 18, 2007, 06:46:20 PM who would you rather have robben for 15m or bent for 17m? err Robben, obviously.

Because Chelsea were much more successful with wingers Robben in the eam instead of Ballack and Lumplard enlighten me when was robben in the team instead of lumplard lol? Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: The Baron on July 18, 2007, 06:49:23 PM i disagree joe cole is a much better player than robben and id rather have joe in the team than robben Out of 4 wingers Robben/cole/Malouda/SWP Your best two are Robben and Cole quite easily. Your manager has already said you will be playing with wingers again and that Ballack needs to fight for his place. He's also said he doesn't want Robben to leave. In a nutshell, he is one of the best two wingers you have for the formation you are going to be playing this year. Selling him is ok as long as you replace him, but replacing him with someone as good will be very hard. Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: turny on July 18, 2007, 06:58:11 PM who knows if mouloda will be better or not.
we will see and that again is if robben goes which i dont think will happen Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: The Baron on July 18, 2007, 06:59:26 PM who knows if mouloda will be better or not. He is good but not better than Robben IMO. Plus Robben has yet to peak. Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: Nem on July 18, 2007, 07:00:39 PM i disagree joe cole is a much better player than robben and id rather have joe in the team than robben Out of 4 wingers Robben/cole/Malouda/SWP Your best two are Robben and Cole quite easily.

In a nutshell, he is one of the best two wingers you have for the formation you are going to be playing this year. Selling him is ok as long as you replace him, but replacing him with someone as good will be very hard. The two best wingers at Chelsea are Robben and SWP and they're trying to sell them both... Robben and SWP were Manc and Ares targets but Chelsea came along and bought both of them.

Robben and SWP were Manc and Ares targets but Chelsea came along and bought both of them. so if there the best why they trying to sell them both? but they are not trying to sell them both are they? chelsea have already stated both not for sale Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: The Baron on July 18, 2007, 07:13:31 PM I know the guy has his faults but I cant honestly believe any team in the world would be happy to lose Robben in terms of pure footballing talent.
Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: Rookie (Rodney) on July 18, 2007, 07:17:02 PM Joe Cole and Robben obv best two wingers, although losing Robben for £15m wouldnt have a massive impact. SWP will then be given a chance to fill his boots hopefully.
Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: turny on July 18, 2007, 07:19:32 PM I know the guy has his faults but I cant honestly believe any team in the world would be happy to lose Robben in terms of pure footballing talent. im not saying they are happy to lose him but as a fan im not overly fussed. he is to injury proned and as yet in my opinion has not lived upto expectation. yes hes still young and may have his best years ahead of him but im happy to take £15mil for him and take that chance. chelsea is a team not an individual, robben worked very hard to impress in his first season but once established became lazy when called upon. mourinho likes his team to be a team with everyone showing the same work rate etc. good luck to him at madrid but imo i dont think it will affect chelsea in any way next season. Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: Rooky9 on July 18, 2007, 10:04:06 PM The only thing Joe Cole does as well as Robben is dive.
Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: fergus8 on July 19, 2007, 09:37:11 AM i really think mourinho has lost the plot now.
he should have never sold duff or crespo, and now robben who will be a star in la liga. instead hes left with such over rated gerriatrics picking up a dubai style payoff, shevchenko and ballack have wrecked chelsea should have been .... drogba crespo duff cole robben lampard makalele (class) huth carvalho terry cech Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: Acidmouse on July 19, 2007, 09:51:30 AM Mourinho is a good manager I am sure he has seen enough of Robben to know the deal was good for Chelsea. IMO he was also right to sell Duff, another one who seems to be always injured.
Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: JSRossi on July 19, 2007, 10:03:30 AM The big problem with Robben is that, despite his talent, he's a cheating bar steward !!
He'll fit in perfectly in Spain, lots of rolling about, feigning injury etc !! Robben out of the Premiership ...good riddance ! Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: jizzemm on July 19, 2007, 10:23:06 AM I for one wish he would stay, because everytime he plays for chelsea against us we win...
To be honest the Prem will be a better place without him cheating t**t.. :redcard: Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: kinboshi on July 19, 2007, 11:51:00 AM who would you rather have robben for 15m or bent for 17m? err Robben, obviously. Robben leaving Chelsea will make Chelsea weaker. The problem for Robben is the tactics and playing style of the manager. so if he dont suit the tactics and the playing style of the manager hows it gona make chelsea weaker? Because Chelsea were much more successful with wingers Robben in the eam instead of Ballack and Lumplard enlighten me when was robben in the team instead of lumplard lol? Not sure (as it wasn't me that posted that), but I'm guessing he means the chelsea were better with wingers and only one of lumplard or bollock in the team (obviously, this would be lumplard) - rather than trying to accommodate both of them in the middle? I hate Robben, but I also hate C Ronaldo. They are both excellent players, and I also think that chelsea will lose something from their squad if he goes. It might be possible that his replacement can fill his role and even do better, but it's definitely a risk. Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: turny on July 19, 2007, 07:23:15 PM i think it says with wingers in the team without ballack and lampard which is unconfounded bull imo.
the season chelsea won the title with 2 wingers most weeks lampard was ever present! agree with what yer saying boshi and agree lamps and ballack cannot play in the same team but that statement can be backed up with facts unlike the drivel quoted in the original post i was refering to Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: Rooky9 on July 19, 2007, 10:41:14 PM i really think mourinho has lost the plot now. he should have never sold duff or crespo, and now robben who will be a star in la liga. instead hes left with such over rated gerriatrics picking up a dubai style payoff, shevchenko and ballack have wrecked chelsea should have been .... drogba crespo duff cole robben lampard makalele (class) huth carvalho terry cech Who picks up the wingers that 99.9% of the PL teams play with???!!!

Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: Rooky9 on July 28, 2007, 10:29:02 PM LOL... I'm glad the book got no business!! Still a few weeks until the Spanish season starts up though.
Title: Re: Robben to Madrid Post by: Nem on July 29, 2007, 12:03:14 AM should have been .... drogba crespo duff cole robben lampard makalele (class) huth carvalho terry cech LOL That is such a shite formation and would finish below Newcastle |
