Arjen Robben (Real Madrid)

Don't want Robben here. No doubt he is a quality player and would improve our squad (when he's fit, so we'd see him about as often as a rich man in a Skoda), but as a matter of principle, I don't want this diving, cheating arrogant pr**k at LFC.

id have him in a second - best winger in the world!

Robben deal a possibility

Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez is believed to have stepped up his interest in Arjen Robben, after reports yesterday suggested Manchester United were keen on the Real Madrid player.

The Spaniard has long been an admirer of the winger, and could go head-to-head with his bitter rival Sir Alex Ferguson over the player's signature.

The Holland star is out of a favour at Real Madrid and is eyeing a return to the Barclays Premier League, possibly on a season-long loan deal.

I do hope that is meant in a tongue in cheek manner.

You calling Gerrard a diving, cheating pr**k?
I do hope that's just the scouse sense of humour matey.

Would you care to elaborate on that statement?

Being scouse i can safely say that it's not.

Joysus i seem to causing controversy where ever I post today..back to the Itandje thread for me........

I'd take Robben in a heart beat on a season long loan deal would help us out loads in our current financial plight...beggers can't be choosers

I also would take Robben he is great at hogging the touch line and that is what we seek natural width.

steven gerrard regularly dives and is very arrogant - we've all seen how he cant get away from signing autographs, etc, fast enough - as a person I dislike him - as a footballer hes one of the greatest - a bit like Sir Alex in that sense

Agreed mate he would also free Kuyt up to be Nando's back up and he could rotate with Kuyt also, win win situation on loan as financially it's low risk and if he helped us lift number 19, I  could forgive his theatrics against us.

If he helps us get to number 19 surely his theatrics would be forgiven. Come on we need to win this title and if it means signing a theatrical player with the ability to help us to number 19 then surely its a gamble/risk worth taking.

I dont think forgiven, but maybe brushed under the carpet.

You're mad.

But on topic, I'd have Robben here. He's got the creativity and width we crave.

He's also got speed. I'd have him here. We don't have anyone going froward with the ball that has electric speed. He's a c**t but he's a quality c**t!    Get him here Rafa even it is on a loan deal.

He's a c**t but he's a quality c**t!

Best description I've heard of him.

Well worth 8 mill not 18 mill though, ide go for him in a heartbeat. somebody remove that Gerrard hater from this forum, he is not for real man.

We have Aurelio and Aquilani who are injury prone, do we really want another injury prone player?

He's quality on his day, but most of the time it goes to waste on the physio table.

Sure you're not Marcus McGee in disguise?

I thought for a moment I had skipped over to another forum.

Dutch media are reporting that there's an agreement between Bayern Munich and Real for the sale of Robben for 25 million euros. Apparently Robben is in Germany right now to get it all finalised.

Doesn't he play the same position as Ribery? I can see speculation regarding him reappearing if that's the case.
