  Contract talks between Chelsea and Arjen Robben have collapsed. RobbenÂ’s representatives, his father Hans and agent Ton Smits, met Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon in London last week but could not agree a new five-year deal.
  
  Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are keen to sign the Holland winger, who moved from PSV Eindhoven to Chelsea for £12 million in 2004 and still has two years left on his current contract.
  
  Robben joins John Terry and Frank Lampard in failing to agree new deals as owner Roman Abramovich activates a Stamford Bridge austerity drive.

  While John Terry and Lampard deserves the improved pay package for Chelsea last Season... Robben hadn't performed as good as the pair. And his injury din help his cause at all.
  
  So, what is his fuss about? So much for a thing called club loyalty.

  This is what happens when a player joins a club for money. Everyone wants a lion's share.
  
  HAHA.

  They(Lampard, Robben and Terry) are angry that Shevchenko and Ballack get paid so much per week but they still did badly last season so they(Lampard, Robben and Terry) believe that the way they performed last season, they are definitely worth the money Shev and Ballack gets but Roman said take it or leave it, he out of his mind?

  well, to be fair, I don't think he, Robben is personally involved, it is all the agents, cooking up things..
