I Know Milan Won't Buy Him, but Still, I Will Suggest: Arjen Robben

Mohamed Eldin MasriJul 13, 2009

"I know Arsenal won't buy him, but still I will suggest" is a series created by Deepak Israni, and he told me I could write one about Milan, so here it is.

Ever since Leonardo announced the 4-3-3 formation and the style of attacking Football he intends to play with, the first thing that comes to mind is that Milan don't really have a winger.

The perfect answer to this problem would be Arjen Robben.

Arjen Robben: Fact-File

  • Age: 25
  • Position: Winger/ Forward
  • Current Club: Real Madrid
  • National Team: Netherlands

Arjen Robben is a Winger for Real Madrid, but ever since Florentino Perez took charge, there have been rumours regarding Robben's future at the club.

While Robben was injured a lot of times lately, in the second half of the season he was performing very well and helped Madrid seal the difference in points between them and Barcelona to just 4 points for a certain time in La Liga.

Acquiring Robben's signature would help complement Leonardo's 4-3-3 plans nicely.

Arjen Robben to Milan: Pros and Cons

Pros:

  • A great dribbler.
  • Always a threat on goal.
  • Won four League titles in seven years and is in no way a stranger to success.
  • One of the most talented players in the world.
  • Acquiring him might increase the chances of his Dutch compatriots to join him at Milan, hence recreating the golden era of Van Basten and Co.

Cons:

  • Might get injured a lot (Nicknamed as the man of glass).
  • Sometimes gets too greedy.
  • Might cost Milan a fortune.

Conclusion:

For Leonardo's 4-3-3 plans to work, he's going to need at least one world class Winger, and Arjen Robben fits that category nicely.

Leonardo is trying to play with a formation Mourinho failed miserably in implementing, Mourinho had to loan out Quaresma and put Mancini on the bench right after buying them both.

The 4-3-3 formation was never a huge success in Serie A to begin with, for Leonardo to make such a formation a success, he needs to have all the world class players he could get his hands on, and they don't get much better than Arjen Robben.
