In a funny and pathetic move, Chelsea declared they are filing a formal complain to FIFA for Real Madrid’s alleged illegal talks for Arjen Robben. What were they thinking?
1. Chelsea has the right to complain or report illegal activities.
2. While they have done the same things before, it doesn’t release them the right to fight for what they feel is just no matter how hyprocrite looking they become.
3. Ramon Calderon was abusive in using these players’ name for his campaign and unofficially publicize Arjen’s strong intentions to transfer to Real.
I would side with Chelsea on this and believe they have taken the necessary steps to strenghten, fortify and defend their organization against cheap shot publicity stunts by a degrading organization.
In an excerpt of their statement over at espn:
‘We are aware of comments regarding Arjen made by Ramon Calderon, the new president of Real Madrid, since his successful election,’ Kenyon told the club’s official website.
‘The Arjen Robben situation could not be any clearer.
‘There have been no meetings or conversations between the Real Madrid sporting director Predrag Mijatovic with any Chelsea officials, anyone mandated to act on Chelsea’s behalf or Roman Abramovich, about Arjen’s future.
‘Any indication that a transfer is possible is completely untrue. We will not be entertaining any offers for Arjen, he is not for sale.
‘Moreover, we note that Mr Calderon confirms that Real Madrid have spoken to Arjen. As a result of these various comments Chelsea will be writing to FIFA to ask them to investigate an illegal approach for our player by Real Madrid.’
Chelsea made the right call as Real’s pathetic approach to save whatever is left in their has been dominance is untolerable. They think every team can be pushed around and declare whatever they want just because they decided to rebuild their reputation.
The team would also give Arjen a message that they will fight for his services and not allow such antics to weaken their relationship and future.
