Another Chelsea star at the centre of attention is Arjen Robben whose father has dismissed claims that his son has been negotiating an extension to his contract at Stamford Bridge. (This was in the papers) Robben is such a class player, if he gains back his form i think he can take the premiership by storm. To think he only participated four months in his first season is unbelievable! He made such an impact. I think we should buy another World class winger, sell SWP so we play like our first season. i know we have Jo Cole but itd be nice to have a back up. Is the media going crazy or is there any truth to all the stories about trouble at the club? If yes then half our team and coaching staff will be gone at the end of the season.
Im not sure how much of a crisis it can ever be along as a multi billionaire is backing the club For example when Leeds when some bad financial moves and failed to live up to expectations they went crashing down the table/divisions Chelsea on the other hand could replace every single player and staff member if they so wished. It will be a different story if Abramovich leaves and Chelsea should be ready if that day comes, but until then, they will always be a top 5 club
I dont know if Roman is losing his interest, i have my doubts. We needed a centre back in January but he refused. Its not like we would have spent anymore than 5million. A player on loan could have done the job. If we lose the title this season i know who im going to blame, but nothing we can do as his the owner and the man that has got us into this position.
I wouldn't call it a crisis, but it's certainly a major problem. I don't personally believe Robben is that much of star. He just doesn't make big enough contributions anymore, and his goalscoring ratio is abysmal. he consistently dives, and he doesn't know how to tackle or get stuck in. He was good in his first period at Chelsea, but now he is just second-rate. Hopefully next season he can take lessons from Drogba, and clear up his act.
