Bayern offloading Robben

[Maldeika]

imagine a midfield of

Robben
De Rossi
Yaya
Silva

Genuine world class get em signed.
when he's fit he makes up for it.

Think of a midfield and attack of

Schweinsteiger - Kroos
Robben - Müller - Ribery
Gomez

And then you know why he is not on sale...

1st Gomez, 2nd Müller, 3rd Ribery - 5th Robben (with just 14 games played) was the scorer ranking in the Bundesliga last year even if at halftime Müller was 19th, Ribery was 27th. The four in front have learned at the end of last season how to work together - took awhile. This year they did not have too much chances for it.

--------------------

Germany's press does not have anything to talk about right now. Bayern is 1st in Bundesliga with 3 points advantage. And as there is nothing to really tell about...

Last week it was the question if Robben is an egoist - this week it is if he is an actor...

I would love Robben.
he is only 27 and on another level when he is fit and playing.

When Robben's fit, he's in the top five players in the world in my opinion. Just look at 2010, he was Bayern's best player in the Champion's League Final and one of Holland's best players in the World Cup Final. He is unbelievable, world class.

But he gets injured too much. For that reason, we probably can't go for him. Also I think it would take £40-50 million for Bayern to sell him.

Ball just burst in the Bayern game, lining split on a free kick and the bladder spilled half out.

Can't remember seeing that before.

Robben is the difference between getting knocked out in the last 16 and making the Champions League finals. He has a knack of scoring spectacular goals in knockout competition.

 

[IrishFrank]

Wouldn't touch him if he paid us to sign for City.

 

[J3SUS]

Wouldn't touch him if he paid us to sign for City.

Any reason?

 

[Calcio]

Wouldn't touch him if he paid us to sign for City.

Any reason?

I can give you few reasons.

1. Injury prone
2. very selfish
3. very arrogant
4. have fallen out with his team mates at bayern and has basically become an outsider as they are fed up with his attitude
5. slapped a team mate on the pitch cause he questioned him
6. Why would a team like Bayern sell a world class player? Cause he's trouble. I would think by now the tevez saga has taught us to take a look at the character of the player and not only skill

Totally agree and add the fact that he is way past his best.....the last thing we need are old pros looking for a big cheque and a retiring home

can accept some of the earlier reasons for not having robben but the last one just isn't true. he's come into the best form of his career while at bayern, nothing like past it
