RUMOUR: Royston Drenthe

by Reading4eva » 19 Nov 2012 08:07

Heard this from a very good source that one player on Anton's list is former Real Madrid man Drenthe. Went to Besiktas but not enjoying it in Turkey. Also has previously played in the Premier League. Unknown what Besiktas want for him but understood it was a short term deal.

His wiki says he's currently a free agent...

Kept turning up late for training at Everton, sometimes hungover and was overweight.

No thanks

Didn't set the world alight at Everton. Both us and Everton value work-rate, he didn't seem to fit in there so why would he fit in here?

A player I rate. Thought he did well at Everton, but then got dropped for a "breach of discipline".......hmmmm

Looked a good player in flashes, but another one not in the Reading mould a la Guthrie

He's just another in a long list of players that doesn't desearve the talent he has.

Just like all the other pointless made up rumours you came out with in the summer?

Was capable of doing something great out of nothing at Everton, but I'd rather not have off-field problems during the end of season run in.

Royston Drenthe has ruined his prospects of securing a permanent move to Everton after being omitted from the club's FA Cup semi-final squad by David Moyes for another breach of discipline.

The Dutch winger reported late for training last week and was immediately sent home and told to stay away from the club by the Everton manager. It is not the first time Drenthe has been late or tested the patience of Moyes, who claimed a recent absence from the squad was due to "compassionate leave", and, with only five matches of the Premier League season remaining, he is unlikely to feature for Everton again

Was on a season-long loan deal at Everton last season. Contract with Madrid expired in the summer. Everton didn't keep him on, mainly due to re-signing Pienaar permanently (and possibly a few disciplinary issues). Currently a free agent. Would be worth a punt I reckon on a deal until the end of the season. Natural left footer, with pace to burn. Would be someone who would offer real threat going forward.

Well what is worrying, if this was true, is that Drenthe is an Anton signing and not an Adkins signing.
