But Barca HAVE Messi, why would they ever want the older, more injury prone and less effective version, at great cost?

Ah I see yes, I thought you were justifying his move to Barca, which is senseless.

It seems that after being kicked out of Madrid he has enough of 'bigger' clubs
I dunno what oyu have been seeing from Robben lately, but he can take over the same position and tasks as/from Messi. He has the same tendency to drop deep when the opponents are defending tightly, b/c he needs the space to make his pace count. He also likes going into 1-1 situations and cuts in whenever possible to finish with his left foot. Actually, when you replace MEssi with Robben you hardly have to change anything around that man.
Ok mate, perhaps I don't like him very much, it seems more a question of style... one year ago, we all thought the same thing about Ibra... and in the end, he doesn't match very well...

You think that Pep is maybe have some interest on him?

Absolutely true about Ibra. I for myself thought it would work nicely with him. Its still different as Ibra was totally diffrent than Etoo and thus you could only guess how it would work out. Robben however has a very similar style to Messi, thats why he could just replace him and it wouldnt affect the flow of the game much.
Needless to say that a transfer of Robben to Barca doesnt make much sense though.

I have no idea, probably not too!!
I was referring to your post about how we witnessed only in flashes of what we expected of Ibra because of his proven qualities at Inter... His dribbling, his long range shots, his FKs, etc were all just matter of confidence!! Also about Robben, probably the most important aspect about his play is taking a shot out of no where(remember this has been of Ibra too!!) and I don't know how far we would see that from Robben if he signed for us

Actually the typicall Robben shot is, after a run down the right side, to cut in and takt a shoot with his left into the far corner of the goal. Thats like 90% of his shots easily. And that is pretty much the same with Messi (although Messis runs are usually a bit shorter).

I don't know why people chat about Robben transfer I just posted a Robben's quote about Liverpool and Barça strikers two pages before. Take a look, I didn't know Arjen was a comedian.
