Cicero 4,898 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 World Class player who looks to be coming to an end at top level. The one player I regret most we got rid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan 15,590 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 one of the most one-footed players that's ever played but what a left foot he had. always found it somewhat baffling that it was so predictable what he was going to do (cut inside from the right and shoot) yet defenders would get done over by it so many times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His acceleration could easily lose defenders where he could find space to curl it. Force his right, he'll beat you on pace. I admired his ability to perform at the very top for Club and Country.

Honey Honey 3,559 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 In the interest of balance, Robben is one of the biggest diving cheats going and the game will be better off without him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lucas 3,325 Posted October 10, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) Thoroughly dislikeable person IMO but without doubt a quality player that would have achieved more recognition had he not played in an era with Messi and Ronaldo. Therefore, by way of a tribute, here's a collection of his finest moments. Thanks for the memories Arjen.

SirBalon 2,671 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 One of those players that you knew the move he was going to try on and the crazy thing is that so many times it would come off even knowing it. Also a serial diver, but then again so many wingers are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not, I figure he thinks hes still got some football in him whether that be back in Holland or somewhere like China for a paycheck remains to be seen. This one was one of his more recent goals, he scores with his right and runs to tell Ribery on the sidelines. Announcers where saying it was like his first right footed goal in the Bundesliga in 2 or 3 years if i remember right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one player I regret most we got rid. Even though he wasn't a regular for Chelsea in his last season it was evident at the time that himself, Ribery and Malouda were the cream of wide players of that season in the late naughties. Finishing fourth and being Boltons level was the best thing that could have happened to Bayern as the reaction was signing Robben and Ribery that kicked the club in to the level they should have been at I the first place. Chelsea under Abramovich round that era seemed weird from a teenage outsider. That summer you signed free agents (Pizzarro, Sidwell, Ben Haim) because it appeared Roman wanted to cut the cloth but then Jose got sacked very early on the following season. That must have been an expensive pay off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So glad at that time English teams weren't dominating The Champions League any more with our riches. So mad that with all our money we haven't had the scouting or coaching infrastructure to do it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6666 1,108 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 He's been a great player for a lot of his career and in my opinion doesn't get as much credit as he should. Said it before, but it's hilarious that people label Bale as being world class but not Robeen when Bale has, at no point, been better than Robben. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
