What a surprise guys! Robben is hurt again! He;s a serious doubt for the match against Osasuna. This is just getting to be too ridiculous.

Yeah I've read that too and 1 thing came up to me. 1 question. Is there someone in football history who was more injury-prone than this guy?! I mean it's getting ridiculous! He has MASSIVE talent. He can be phenomenal. But we cant enjoy that for more than 1 game. I really hope that it isnt serious! I want him to play some games at least. It doesnt make too much difference if he is injured or not because Robinho can play on the left, but still having someone as Robben in the squad is great. So lets hope he is doing allright.

This might be the chance for Royston Drenthe to shine?! If Robben doesnt get fit for Osasuna then he might get some minutes in the second half of that game.

Royston wont get any minutes over Sneijder or Baptista or even Higuain, so I doubt it....regardless, when i saw that news article I rolled my eyes...here we go again, I mean seriously, this is ridiculous, I knew he was injury prone but this is a bit much, if he cant get in any kind of physical shape in two years here i say get rid of him and let one of these cantera youngsters come up and take a crack at it

 

[CarlosDanger]

It's bad news, though in Arjen's case not exactly unbelievable. He spent large portions of the past few seasons on the shelf.

Get used to it... I think Chelsea did fine piece of business with this one...

I remind you guys of my post from October...I have a feeling I could just quote that post over and over during Robben's Madrid career.

 

[Arnau]

Robben injury back ? WTF


robben = overmars

There was woodgate.. and there is Michael Owen from newcastle

 

[dubcrazy]

havent seen much of the spanish league this year but just curious wat is the deal on savi???
has he even played for Real???
injured??

 

[KingPaulV]

no he has played, but I am sure a lot less than he expected...problem is raul has been in quite a form this season, so he hasnt had a chance...but he will in Copa del Rey rounds, I am sure

 

[OrgulloVikingo]

The Robben deal was a bad one. Is there any club naive enough for us to deal him to? We definately lost money in this deal. Oh well.

 

[KingPaulV]

what cunning businessmen those Chelsea lads....lol.....they squeeze every last penny out of that dude, and oh by the way, el tio ya venia super lesionado...we got played big time...el Gominas got played really

Yeah but the truth is, we dont have any really great talents on the left wing positon. I remember one huge prospect who can play there, but he is way too young atm. (David Moreno) And he wont get a chance anyway.

yeh david moreno is great ive seen very little of him but he certainly looks the part, maybe in a few years.

we really should of kept Mata he was kind of the same type of player as robben, gets involved in the play and scores loads of goals.

i think roystone is good enough to play there, i mean we still havnt seen him play on the left wing yet, he has either been playing in the middle ( for some reason i cant understand) or left back.

i never understood why we got robben in the first place, we had robinho and drenthe there. i would take robinho over robben on the left anyday. ah well well see what happens.

 

[KingPaulV]

what we really should have done was kept reyes, the guy loved the club, is young and was still ready to give a lot more, now in Atleti he hasnt been nearly the player he was last year for us....why we let Reyes go is beyond me, his transfer fee was less than half of what we paid for Robben....

 

[Zakov]

well, i know i said this b4, but i do feel sorry for you Madristas......back when he was at Chelsea I always checked up on him to see if he's playing/back from injury and etc......but he is very injury prone....i'd say on equal ground with Michael Owen......but you guys have enough quality to cope without him, sitting pretty on top of la liga.....thats not too bad...:P

agreed..

But now there is nothing left than to suck it up and move on..

Good news: Messi is out of the Classico! 3 to 4 weeks. Lets see what Barca can do without him

sounds harsh, but thats great news. hopefully that will spur us on. but it also means ronaldinho is back in, and we know what he can do. he will have alot to prove and nothing to lose. we need to shut him out from the start not let him run. on his first touch, but thats a week away. (I cant wait) Osasuna 2nite. portillo's return.

shame really coz i wanna see all the best players playing, it'll also give them an excuse to say messi wasnt playing.
ah well i guess it will be a bonus for us if he doesnt play.

is henry also out of that match?

 

[AdyKew]

yeh henry is out i think. arsenal sold a crocked player much like chelsea haha. he has a bad back i think , same reason he missed half of last season for arsenal.

 

[Jaboldinho]

I think he'll be back for El Clasico, not sure whether he'll play, but I think he's gonna be fit then.
