Arjen Robben falls into the same category as Bayern Munich teammate Franck Ribery. He's a magician on the ball, but his impact is decreasing, so is it time he was plucked out of the immensely exclusive 90 club? There are just four players with a 90+ rating: Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Suarez, and Robben. Does he really deserve to be in there ahead of some other phenomenal stars? He's 31 and injuries are beginning to take their toll, meaning the Dutch master has only featured in 3 league games this season, scoring once. Surely Sergio Aguero or Neymar are more deserving of a 90+ spot? Neymar in particular has sizzled this season with 8 goals and 4 assists in 7 league games. There should be no room for sentiment in FIFA, and while Robben was unquestionably worthy of 90 in recent years, his time at the top is gradually coming to a graceful end.
