CONFIRMED - Royston Drenthe

[maffff]

Well, either.

Sorry Winch - carry on..

[LightwaterRoyal]

He obviously has some quality about him but every time ive heard his name mentioned it is shortly followed massive oxf*rd.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Sky Sports journo Graham Bailey is going with it as well. If it's not true I'm going to stage a dirty protest at Carnival Pool.

You're right to be sceptical mafff, it sounds like complete hogwash of course, but it's almost too ridiculous a rumour to have been made up..

Look who's in the second picture... *edit: that was quite a nice away kit

Also:

“Liverpool has too many temptations for guys like us. Before you know it you will be dragged into the nightclubs.

“There Bacardi flows and you can ski on cocaine; and the women, Royston. Oh man, oh man, oh man. Those British women with their short skirts…”

Is it wrestling's Rob Van Dam?

[Elm Park Pasty]

Just to take a step back.

Voetbalprimeur is "football scoop" - credible?

Article says he's in the netherlands recovering from a muscle injury, medical monday, contract signature tuesday.

Hmmmmmmmmm....................................

Could Jonathan Low be getting sucked into speculation?

Wonder if Jonathan has said how he come about this info? This seems so far out of left field to not be the sort of piece of information you just happen to trip across. How many people would have visited that web site before? Have to nip across to another thread and quiz Zacnolean about a comment he posted on there earlier, hmmm......

no money=low profile signings
massive premiere league parachute windfall=money to spend=good signings?

Just asked an Everton fan how he got on there

'He’s actually got the potential to be a cracking player but like Van der Meyde he likes to party, and also thinks he’s Dr.Dre. Never plays a ball backwards though, always on the attack, very entertaining to watch'

Fordhams on it, twitters awash.

Seems to justify my ideas that the amibition from AZ was always there, BM too stubborn to use it last year.

I made the mistake of watching that. You can make Messi look bad on youtube

Seen hints of it all along from AZ, I wouldn't say just Brian, probably more of the 'auld guard' - Madejski stil having his claws in the club, last season being the handover. Now AZ can do as he pleases [as long as he doesnt destroy our long term future]. Love it.
