Robbed Of Robben
United fans shouldn´t really complain about missing out on Arjen Robben, as most of them won´t have seen him play. It´s all paper talk. To be honest, Robben plays in Dutch football, I know Ruud´s come from Dutch football but that was a few years ago when it was stronger. It´s a rubbish league. It´s not something I think you could judge a player in and say ´oh, you´ve missed out there´. I think if you were getting a player from the Spanish, Italian or German leagues who has scored maybe 30 goals a season then you´ve got somebody who could perform at Old Trafford. It didn´t bother me when we didn´t sign him because a Dutch player making an impact in the Dutch league doesn´t necessarily mean to say he´s going to come to our league and do it because the standard of the Premiership compared to the Dutch league is frightening.
Transfer Activity
The downside to bringing all these players in is that we´re overloaded in midfield. As a result of that we haven´t seen a great deal of Djemba-Djemba, Kleberson, David Bellion. That´s the downside of it and Chelsea are seeing it now: Damien Duff is passing comment about another player coming into his department; Joe Cole was screaming his head off for not getting into the team every week. That´s the obvious problem about having too many players.
I think it´s been a problem at Old Trafford - look at Nicky Butt. When you´re overloaded in one area it causes you problems. The players themselves don´t intend to, but from a manager´s point of view they´re rightly unhappy because they´re not playing football, you can´t satisfy them with games every week because you have so many players and somebody´s always going to be left out so you create your own problems. I would think in the summer it´s not a case of bringing in three or four players. Many of the fans will be unhappy to hear that, but I don´t think it´ll be on the cards.
< <<< en resume , pas grave pour robben on ne sait meme pas s´il va avoir un impact hors d´hollande , il n´est pas vraiment bon . ( hormis qu´il a aussi un impact en hollande)
