Robben seemed to have fallen out of favour at the end of last season.
But I agree, when both fit and firing, Robben is the better player.
Nothing new about that rumor, it's been doing the rounds for a month or so now. Latest blog press (not even a shoddy English tabloid) is that a deal has been done and he'll be joining for £10,000,000 and it should signed, sealed and delivered within 48 hours.
Having said that, I wouldn't believe any Arsenal-themed transfer rumors until they've got a picture of him in our kit on the front page of the official site.
applies for all clubs really
A rumoured interest (which it was a month ago) and a rumoured deal (which I appeared to read this morning) are different. But both very untrustworthy.

Fat Head Bruce is now Fat Cat Bruce.
You can use either.
I do prefer Fat Head Bruce though.
Thought he was a Newcastle fan?

Doesn't sound like a native of Swansea.

Excellent choice.
Potential gun manager and I can't see him being at Wigan too long.
Hopefully being a mate of Rafa, he won't bow to Whelan's pro-Manc agenda.

Do you think that really comes into it when an opportunity comes up for a Manager? I'd think Bruce probably has more affinity with Man United these days than Newcastle. Mark Hughes went to City, players sign for Liverpool when they supported Everton. I don't think who people support as a kid really comes into it for professionals in 99% of cases and nor should it probably.

I really liked how Swansea played football this season. It will be interesting to see if he tries to get Wigan to play in a similar system. I was hoping Martinez would be Boro's next Manager if Southgate got the flick

hence the term 'professionals' they are professional about it

Bruce is the biggest managerial tart going around.
And he's just lost any chance he had of managing his "beloved" Geordies.
Last I heard Swansea had denied Wigan permission to speak to Martinez so unless thats changed overnight theres still a way to go on that one.

Well, Steve Bruce isn't very well liked by the Sunderland fans (because he's a Geordie), so he'll have his work cut out trying to impress them.
Can't see that one working out.
Martinez was linked to the Celtic job too, but he said 2 years ago that he'd stay at Swansea for 4-5 years, so it will be interesting to see if he honours his word.

It is rather annoying. I mean hes had his best season in a loong time in English football and we get rid for nothing. Its idiotic not to give him a 2 year deal IMO. Even as a handy bench option. The versatility for him to play left back is also handy too. At this stage if our only left back in Ilunga goes down Upson has to shift from CB to LB to cover.

For some reason, I don't think it will happen.
Why not Real Madrid loaned fat Faubert after all
Underrated post....
Wouldn't stop Real. All that would happen is that Real would then go out and buy the 15 best Spanish players around.

Wouldn't happen.
Torres would NEVER join Real.
Xavi, Iniesta and Puyol would never leave Barcelona for Madrid...
There's 4 of your team there and 4 very important players.
They could get Silva, Villa and Alonso, they already have Casillas and Ramos.
They wont get Fibreglass...
