Dutch international Robben had held talks with United earlier this season and was expected to seal a summer move to Old Trafford. However, they would not meet PSV's asking price - which allowed Chelsea to step in and snatch him from under their rivals' noses. Chelsea confirmed on Monday evening that Robben was undergoing a medical and his summer move should be sealed in the next month, but the 20-year-old will not arrive until June. PSV president van Raaij was quick to confirm that United were to blame for not landing the youngster. "Because United were first in the queue, we kept Chelsea waiting," said van Raaij. "But when we had our second discussion with United over a fee, we were v ery disappointed over how low they believed they could push us. "They seemed to think he was worth a lot less than Chelsea were willing to pay. "That was a massive letdown and it was only then we opened negotiations with Chelsea. "There's a very good chance we will finalise the transfer this week." The Blues have been in talks with PSV for the last few weeks about a number of issues - including an official link-up. Chelsea have now agreed a deal approaching ￡14 million for Robben and they have already made a down payment of ￡7 million - which the Dutch giants have used to broker a deal for Brazilian starlet Alex. The Santos defender has yet to seal his move Holland because of a medical - but he is still expected to transfer to The Philips Stadion in the next few weeks. After two years playing in De Eredivisie - it is then expected that the highly-rated stopper will move to Chelsea. -- 總歸一句話就是錢的問題囉.... 不然他老爸也不會這麼容易就變心 XD -- ╔═══╗ ╔╗ ╔╗ ╔═══╗ ╔╗ ╔═══╗ ╔═══╗ ╔═══╗ ║╔═╗║ ║║ ║║ ║╔══╝ ║║ ║╔══╝ ║╔══╝ ║╔═╗║ ║║ ╚╝ ║╚═╝║ ║╚══╗ ║║ ║╚══╗ ║╚══╗ ║╚═╝║ ║║ ╔╗ ║╔═╗║ ║╔══╝ ║║ ╚══╗║ ║╔══╝ ║╔═╗║ ║╚═╝║ ║║ ║║ ║╚══╗ ║╚══╗ ╔══╝║ ║╚══╗ ║║ ║║ ╚═══╝ ╚╝ ╚╝ ╚═══╝ ╚═══╝ ╚═══╝ ╚═══╝ ╚╝ ╚╝ --
