Robben --> Real

[persian boy]

MADRID, Spain (AP) - Real Madrid completed the signings of Netherlands international Arjen Robben of Chelsea and Feyenoord's Royston Drenthe, Spanish radio station Cadena SER reported Thursday.

Cadena SER said both players would be presented Friday and would be available to play in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup on Aug. 11, when Spanish champion Madrid plays Copa del Rey winner Sevilla.
Sports daily AS said Madrid had also agreed to a fee of €13 million (US$18 million) for Netherlands under-21 defender Drenthe, signing him through 2012.

Madrid President Ramon Calderon had been courting the two players throughout the summer.

Robben, 23, had been at Chelsea since joining from PSV Eindhoven in 2004, scoring 19 goals in 104 appearances at Stamford Bridge.

Drenthe had been at the De Kuip since 2005.

i like before better. we should have bought a star right midfielder instead of robben and that would be perfect.

They've got a really good team season tbh, but what I fear the most is Dirty Schuster. He is the dirtiest, most anti-jogabonito coach I've ever seen in my life.

Lets not forget last season..
Getafe Vs. Barca in Camp Nou..
Ah i watched that game..
just ****ed up my mood the way they were playing!

[police in helicopter]

Real is in need of a left midfielder and I guess Robben is the best left footed available on the market.

They will still get owned by Barca this season.

lets see whose next !

why is kazemian on your eat my khrum team?!??!

and robben is good but imo just a poor mans robinho...i think they couldve spent the money on someone else

[mf_doom]

congrats to real madrid for spending too much money on a whiney, oft injured winger whose best days are behind them. Hey real madrid if you got extra money send a little my way.

The thing I dont like about my club is that we always have to have the best players and that we always have to spend big in the transfer marker when we dont always need to but yet again we are the biggest and best club in the world. However I do believe that these signings will be good for the future.

Roysten Drenthe is a promising young talent and somthing tells me he is going to be a great player.

Robben will bring some life to the left side of our game he is a speedy, skillful player which at his best is very deadly. I think his game will improve in La Liga.

[ShirFarhad]

Can't believe Real paid 13 million for Drenthe, he played well for two weeks and he is worth 13 million?

Exactly. Remember how bad they kicked our players, that was ridiculous.

why is kazemian on your eat my khrum team?!??!

Because he sucks in my book.

[futbol>>>IRAN]
