Chelsea confirm Robben signing
Tuesday, Mar 02, 2004
Chelsea have won the race to sign top Dutch star Arjen Robben.
The PSV Eindhoven player will arrive at Stamford Bridge this summer in transfer deal worth £12m, following today's agreement between the clubs.
The 20 year old has played both as a left-winger and as a second striker for PSV and Holland.
His impressive scoring record speaks for itself. He has won four caps and scored two goals since his debut for the national team in April last year.
In 21 appearances this season for PSV, he has found the net seven times, and in his first full season in 2002/03 following his move from FC Groningen his goal tally was 12.
Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon said: "This is a great signing for Chelsea. Arjen is a top quality player who will become a major asset for our club in the years ahead. For his age, he shows great maturity and mental strength to go with his natural footballing skills.
"It's an excellent example of how Chelsea is appealing to the new wave of European talent and our commitment to bring the best young players to Stamford Bridge as well cultivate the best, young English talent."
Head coach Claudio Ranieri added: "For me, Arjen Robben will be a fantastic addition to our squad. He is quick, strong, scores goals, makes goals. He can do everything. His style is perfect for the Premier League and I am very happy that he wanted to come to us."

Well, if he was willing to join Chelski all along, I guess we are just better-off without him, anyway! I'm sorry, but that's the way I see it with youngsters these days. They're too young and un-educated to see there IS more to the game, nowadays, than just Money (granted, it's not an awful lot, though).
We could've still benefited with him as a player, seeing as how Ryan Giggs is likely to have his annual hamstring injury lay-off in this next-year, and that we will struggle to replace him.
Speaking of which, HAS Giggsy actually knackered his hamstring this season or not??? :o

Possibly, but he is apparently more of a Bergkamp than a Wright.
Maybe we should move for Wrighty's son, Wright-Phillips. He's an okay player, but with our team and Wenger's coaching, who knows? :-)

In plain English:
"It just goes to show that up-and-coming talent in football - whether English or foreign - has absolutely no loyalty to any club, and will be attracted to whoever can pay them the most money, regardless of trophy-winning ability."

Chelsea are like the Yankees of football. Just the difference being the Yankees get the best in their plan to dominate their sport while Chelsea just buy anyone above average for a vastly overpriced fee. Robben for 12 million?? Wow we sure miss Kenyon at United. :-p
We need a Defender and maybe a Forward in the Ian Wright mould...he and henry would of been genius.
Chelsea have a plan to dominate football.
It's not to seduce the world by playing "The Beautiful Game" (™ & © Arsenal FC).
It is, quite simply, to buy every player in the world rated "half-decent" and above.
Not so that they can actually *play* for Chelsea, obviously. (Not unless they pay FIFA to change the rules so that Chelsea can field more than 11 players, anyway...)
No.
The plan is simple.
If every half-decent (and above) player is signed to Chelsea, they can't play for anyone else against them!
But Arsenal will still beat them 2-1! :-D
