BARCA'S ROBBEN GREEN LIGHT - REPORT
-
Reports from Holland claim Chelsea have given Barcelona permission to speak to Dutch winger Arjen Robben. The Catalan giants have been strongly linked with a move for Robben in recent days, as a potential alternative to Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo.
It's unlikely United would allow Ronaldo to leave Old Trafford unless somebody comes up with a mind-boggling offer. But it appears Barca might have better luck with Robben, according to reports on public television in Holland.
They claim that Robben is free to talk to Barca, although both clubs deny officially that they've made any contact. The reports say that Chelsea want around 23 million Euros for the Dutch international winger - around £16million.
Robben is contracted to Chelsea until 2009. -
Wow! Chelsea may sell Robben to barca...
-
Den Chelski go pry E'eto, Ronaldinho or Messi for exchange and a couple of millions... TENS of millions.
-
barca are becoming madrid 3-4 years ago when they spend obscene amt of cash for top players
-
16 million for Robben is quite ok what...
-
won't it be a joke if he escapes to Barca just to avoid Chelsea and Mourinho ends up there and still deemed Robben as useless...
-
I think its not a bad move for him also la..afterall i feel that hes abit under-used at Chelsea..

I don't think it's because Mourinho dislikes him or anything, more of because Mourinho's hands are tied and he has to play Ballack and Sheva. By playing them, Mourinho uses a diamond four, whereas Robben is used to play more wide even for Holland.Originally posted by iceFatboy:won't it be a joke if he escapes to Barca just to avoid Chelsea and Mourinho ends up there and still deemed Robben as useless...
I would think Robben has more chance playing with Mourinho over there.
