With a reshaping of the Real squad predicted in the wake of the club signing Kaka and agreeing a fee with Manchester United for Cristiano Ronaldo, Dutchman Robben had been linked with a move to White Hart Lane along with team-mates Klass-Jan Huntelaar and Gabriel Heinze.

But, in an interview with Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, Robben's father, Hans, insisted there was no chance of such a transfer taking place.

"Absolute nonsense," he said. "We aren't talking with Tottenham. At the moment we aren't talking with any club.

"Of course things can change overnight but Arjen will certainly not join Tottenham."

  2. cummon, Robben to Tottenham? Huntelaar to Tottenham?­ These players want to be at big clubs playing in the­ Champions League, not clubs which aren't even in­ the UEFA cup!
    And you may argue Manchester City are­ able to lure players like Barry and Robinho so why­ can't spurs? Because Spurs can't afford­ £150,000pw contracts, that's why.

    Robben is a thoroughly unpleasant character which he­ proved over and over again at Chelsea. He would fit in­ well at Spurs.

  11. why wouldnt real wanna keep him. he will go on to be­ best in world if stays fit. they need a squad of top­ players not a starting 11.

    robben better not play for­ any english team apart from chelsea or I'll hate­ him

    From yip, on Wed 17 Jun 3:40PM

  12. Feck him get Huntelaar instead at least he will be fit­ and he isnt a diver, Karl G Common sense isnt something­ that the world of football knows ffs Kaka and eventualy­ Ronaldo are gonna join a team that last year were­ embarrased by their rivals, people need to understand­ that money talks these days and if you have enough of­ it you can sign anyone.
