I agree. Lampard and vd Beek are very similar stylistically, although Lampard was a few levels better.
And Robben was world class, just like Salah. You could argue that Salah has had a better career because he isn’t injured as much, but Salah didn’t perform at the level Robben had from the same age.
Robben succeeded at chelsea, at approximately the age Salah was sent away. I think Robben was at the top for way longer then Salah.
That is no slight to Salah as he is amazing but anyone who says Robben is nowhere near Salah is taking the piss.

Yes I remember when Robben came. Immediately he looked a completely different class to the wingers we had in the league.
Tore the league up… then got a bad injury.
Great player to watch as well.
