I think this puts Robben in a very awkward position now. He still has not handed in a transfer request, so as far as Chelsea are concerned he wasn't going anywhere anyway. He won't be Jose's favourite player at the moment so it will be interesting to see what Jose does with him. Robben will just have to knuckle down and do the job he gets paid to do I guess. Although after watching Malouda today and with Joe Cole soon to return, I would think that Robben is pretty much surplus to requirement. We are well sorted on the left side of the pitch, with or without him.
Ballack never was going anywhere either. Just a lot of hot air from Madrid with no substance.
