I would not want him back now and I don't think we need him back now back.
He was a good player for us 10 years ago, nothing more to add really.
Dont want to see him at Chelsea, just because I dont like you

If we were to get him back it would have to be this summer and no later, He's getting on rightly and could decline rapidly in a year or two.
I was thinking about Robben just the other day. It struck me that it would've been a nice symbolic course of events if we'd have signed him last summer (course this is after him scoring the winner in the CL final so it wouldn't have happened in a million years).
When you think that Mourinho was the one we let get away, spending years and years trying to replace his 'it' factor. A case can be made we've kind of followed the same pattern with Robben. All these links with the money generating megastars like Aguero, Robinho, Neymar, Modric, etc... and eventually getting the likes of Shevchenko, Torres & Hazard. As we (fans and the club itself) referred to it for many years - obsessed with that 'marquee signing'. And the ironic truth was we had that marquee player in Robben and didn't value his impact highly enough.
I've always been a sucker for that type of symmetry, but having them return in the same summer I think would've been pretty cool
Would take Robben back at Chelsea anytime. One of the best wingers out there.
and who cares about age just look at Lampard
Age clearly doesn't seem to be affecting him. He is stronger and fitter than he's ever been. I think Bayern have secretly fitted him with iron lungs or something.
Robben is a genius and is someone actually who Has not fully reached his potential.He could have been as good as Cristiano Ronaldo or Messia but he is still an excellent player!
