Craig 6682 Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 He's been strongly linked with Spurs over the weekend. I can see the attraction to him - Dutch coach, remaining in London, playing alongside Davids, etc., but if he is leaving, I'd be hugely disappointed if we didn't make an approach for him. We'd only have an outside chance of getting him and he'd cost a fair bit, but if the club are as ambitious as they say they are, these are the types of players we need to be moving for. Solano at 31 won't be around forever and Luque when fit is likely to be playing up front from next season so alongside N'Zogbia, we really do need to be looking for more strength on the flanks. It would be a coup to pinch him ahead of Spurs, but we managed that with Parker... Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I'd have him here in a shot but I'd be pretty surprised to see him leave Chelski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6682 Posted November 14, 2005 Author Share Posted November 14, 2005 Knew someone would say that! Is there any foreign winger who is not temperamental though? Am I right in thinking that Robben was a Kenyon signing rather than a Ranieri/Mourinho capture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Kirkey 0 Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 They did the deal to buy him in January 2004, and he moved at the end of that season. Whether Mourinho had any input in it, I don't know, but you couldn't rule it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiley 0 Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 if he left chelsea which is doubtful,im sure he would go to a team with a bit more ambition than spurs..someone like real madrid,barcelona or ac milan etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Kirkey 0 Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Still nice to see a few potential cracks appearing at Chelsea. Just a shame the rest of the country needs things like that to compete with them. And sobering to think that even if he does leave, Wright Phillips is ready to come in.

Gejon 2 Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I'd love to see him here too. Although he seems injury prone. 56248[/snapback] My thoughts, no doubt he has a hell of a lot of talent but could we afford the pushing £10m it would cost to sign him when he could spend have the time on the injury table with KD!?

Tooj 17 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Robben would cost an absolute bomb as proved last season when his mind was right i thought he was most influencial to Chelsea's title success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yogic 0 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 He wont leave. This is just a small dip in his relationship with Jose. Mourinho is a master at keeping his players happy and there is no way he would let go of Robben - espicially after he has shown what a super talent he is.

Renton 21635 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I've heard Henry has fallen out with Wenger, and won't re-sign his contract. I think we should make a move for him, because he'd play lush with Owen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially after the Rooney saga and our poor league campaign. In any case, signing Owen, if anything, makes it less likely that we would sign Robben as we probably wouldn't have the cash even if he were available.
