Robben Urges Madrid To Sign Drogba
Real Madrid winger Arjen Robben told Sky Sports News that he'd love to link up with former teammate Didier Drogba at the Bernabéu...
The Dutchman arrived at Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2004, just as Drogba did, and the pair teamed up on numerous occasions over the next three seasons.
Since then, though, Robben has moved to Real Madrid, and although he's endured an injury-hit campaign in the Spanish capital, he seems to recommend the move to the Ivorian striker.
He said, "Not only is he a great footballer, but he's a wonderful person.
"I'd love for him to come to Madrid, although I know that it's not up to me."
Drogba is under contract until 2012, which could throw any potential move into jeopardy. Nonetheless, Robben is adamant that it would be a fine transfer for Madrid to make.
"For me, he's a great striker, one of the best in the world," continued the Dutchman.
"He's incredibly strong and he can score a lot of goals.
"In the last season in which I was at Chelsea, Drogba was probably the most important player at the whole club."
Didier stole the show midweek as the Pensioners eliminated Liverpool from the Champions League.
