They are simply pointing out the Dutch links on TFC (vdW, Jozy).
Why exactly would we not want Arjen Robben?
We do not have an RM except for Auro. We force other guys like Delgado or Chapman into that slot a lot.

Well we're definitely switching to 4-3-3 if we sign Robben lol
tfc 2 player malik johnson signs with tampa...
Robben and Ribery would be dynamite for all of 3 games then get injured.
Robben doesn't really provide width as much as guile on the right.
We all know he is going to come inside.
Yeah, certainly there is something to be said for a player who is that high in quality but... we need some more speed, hope we’re able to find it.
maybe with our luck re injuries, but both men have pretty good injury records on the whole. Robben's goals for a winger or wide attacker, call it what you may is crazy, 1 in 2 for Bayern and just a bit more than that for his country. He cuts inside everytime, we all know it but stopping it is another thing. Whoever gets him in whatever league, it's a short term fix, but he's genuinely one of the greatest players in recent yrs
We don't have a DP slot so it'd have to be a TAM deal like Ibra did in LA.
He can get a lot more than that I suspect, especially in China or Japan, but maybe elsewhere in MLS. NYCFC are an obvious name.
Not many guys have been featured players for the biggest clubs in all of England, Spain and Germany.
Anyone around here who wouldn't take Robben ... is over rating the caliber of play in MLS.

Yeah this is why I don't see it happening. I don't know if we have the TAM necessary and I am not ready to part with our DPs just yet... And I don't see any of them stepping down in contract terms either.
TBH having Robben here would be a dream, technically. He was always my favourite in the Dutch setup (even when Sneijder, van Persie, etc were at their best)...

I bet Robben at 34 would be the fastest guy on TFC.
I see him going to Japan.

Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
Nobody spends close to what China does, but that is apparently ending soon

Japan has made a big splash in the last six months. Iniesta supposedly got 30 million dollars a year over two years.

Just for context. He's 35 in January and has been a pro since 16. Hell of a lot of miles on the clock.
^I agree that he is only a one year rental, with some risk. I just kind of like the idea.
Everyone said the same things about Rooney and injuries and foot speed. But these truly elite guys are on another planet.
There is no way it happens unless Robben takes massively less than he can get elsewhere, so it's just baseless offseason chat, really..
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
remember back in the day the big chatter was about Dickov to TFC ... oh how the times have changed.
I won’t be surprised to see Alexis Sanchez move to MLS in January. Not entirely sure that I’d want him at Toronto if it was possible.
Max Urutti apparently being traded to an eastern conference team..... Think he would be perfect for us.
Robben may pass the smell test for skill. But Bez has asked for the right attitude as well. Rooney is a workhorse and has been a workhouse for DC.
We don’t need them to be one of the boys, but a player able to connect as a team mate is essential to success. Professionalism.
I’m not discounting Robben but (insert pic of him with hands up and contorted expression).
I can't believe they havn't taken this down
^He would cost us a meaningful roster player. Maybe Delgado.

Can we trade Bright Dike for him?
