Arjen Robben

i wish chelsea still had robben the older he gets the better he gets

[jmarlow 458]

Rumors that he is unhappy at Bayern, Lewandowski has apparently said he would rather play with Coman and Costa as Robben is too greedy. and now Robben wants to leave in January, i doubt there is anything in it, but if he does want out we should be all over it, with a big bid in January, Jose would probably tell Robben to come back to Chelsea and this time be the star player in the team, and Hazard can learn a thing or two off of Robben!

I would definitely take Arjen for a couple of seasons.

I'll do anything to have robben here. Direct dribbling into the box and shooting from outside the box. Two things we don't have in our wings

CUT INSIDE WITH THE LEFT

This guy is so damn good it is ridiculous. Everyone defender how he plays but it doesn't help them. I really disliked this guy for a while but right now he is one of my favourites again.

So yesterday, a letter Arjen had written to his 16 year-old self was published. It has some nice words about his time at Chelsea and his relationship with JT.

Quote

At 20 years old, you’ll be in the Premier League.

And your boss? His name is José Mourinho. I should prepare you. Because he will expect a lot of you … and of everyone. Right away, you’ll feel the difference in playing for a Premier League club. You’ll need to be tougher, stronger, faster.

You’ll have to prove yourself all over again once you get there. And prove yourself to José every single week to stay in the lineup. Look, a lot has been said about José. He’s a strong personality, he’s demanding. But ever since you started playing, you’ve been just as demanding of yourself. In a way, it’ll almost seem like a perfect match. He wants to see your very best, each and every day on the pitch. And all you’ll want to give is your best. Whether in training, or in a match.

Or working your way back from an injury.

Yes, this is going to be the first time you’re challenged in that way, too. It’s not how you wanted to start off in England … with a broken bone in your foot in a preseason match. You’ll be sidelined for more than two months. But that will only provide more motivation to prove yourself. To prove yourself to José. To your teammates. To Stamford Bridge and the fans.

You’ll want to show everyone what you can do.

And you will, with a 72nd-minute goal in your very first start at Stamford Bridge in November 2004.

It’ll be right in front of the box, off your left foot.

(And by the way, your left foot? Specifically, coming in from the right wing and shooting with your left? Work on this. Practice this. It’ll come in handy more times than you can count. Trust me on this one.)

It’ll only be two years, but Chelsea will be an important step for you. For your manager, for dealing with injuries — but, also, that team will be something special. I give credit to José on this, he knows how to create and build a team. And this team? Well, it was a good one.

Not just because you had players like Lampard and Drogba and Čech and Terry on the pitch.

But because you had players like Lampard and Drogba and Čech and Terry off the pitch as well.

Everyone on that team was thinking about each other. Everyone was thinking about the club. The atmosphere during that time … it was amazing. A lot of the guys who have been at the club for a while will look out for you, but there will be no one more important — not only for you, but for everyone — than John Terry.

What can a Dutch winger learn from an English center back?

Everything.

The most important thing though, is what it takes to be a captain and a leader at a club. He’ll be someone you can talk to, whether about football or anything else. He’ll be someone who gives advice, who encourages you. Learn as much from him as you can. How he gives everything for the club. How he gives everything for the team — from the first to the last minute. Out there, he’s taking care of every team member. And he does the same off the pitch as well.

I’m not sure you’ll know it then, just how much John influenced you. So really take in those moments with him. You won’t play with anyone quite like him again.

Or have an experience quite like you had at Chelsea. There were titles and cups in Holland, but at Chelsea, you’ll all be part of history. The first league title in 50 years. It’s not going to feel complete at the time because you’ll be injured. But enjoy that moment more than I did then. Appreciate it properly — because you were a part of that team, you were important and you did do your job.

Fantastic article. 

The culture of this club and players we had back then was completely different. I would go back in those times if I had a choice.

He still, even now, is pacier than 90% of most players. Injuries and father time caught up. One of my all time Chels favourites, was gutted when we sold him.
