Injury prone isnt accurate, more like always injured, he gets hurt before he steps on the field, its a joke.

Robben is injury prone. Be careful what you wish for Romanista.

I think its pretty much impossible, because Mancini is not needed because we have Robinho, Drenthe and Balboa for the left, although Balboa can and should play on the right. If we were to swap, Mancini would be on the bench and I do not see him moving Robinho out of the starting lineup. Plus, Robben just got to Madrid, and would be unlikely to want to move so early. But who knows, players these days go from port to port like sailors.

Wait, but what about a life-for-like swap? I think Robben is more valuable, but Mancini is pretty pricy himself. 22m and up for starters. Maybe not completely even, but Real has wanted Mancini for some time and Robben…well, I don’t know. But it’s not impossible.
