CONFIRMED - Royston Drenthe

[HoneyRoastHoax]

I know but in all honesty I hadn't heard of the fella and thats the first thing I watch

[Elm Park Pasty]

wow the thought that someone who played for real madrid is going to sign for reading is so exciting!!!!!

You're right, Granero was CLASS for QPR.

Let's be honest Maffff, Messi would have been messy in that team.

[Pepe the Horseman]

I've heard it's unlikely to be wrapped-up this week

[USA_Loyal_Royal]

fordham said it is unlikely to be wrapped up this week. so the quotes that say monday is the day he will sign seem to be true. now we have 4 excellent wingers and 1 developing winger! seems to me one is going to move on.

[Arnie_Pie]

seems to me one is going to move on.

Well if it is either Kebe or Jobi will not be surprised.

Well if it is either Kebe or Jobi will not be surprised.

id prefer it to be jobi who moves on because he is getting quite old, keve could still have another 2-3 good years in him if we can keep him healthy. id miss jobi quite a bit though and i would prefer to keep all of them.

Hate to go all ITK, but I've just had a text from a mate who says Billy sharp will be anounced within a week.

Didn't realise Saints were linked with Drenthe last summer. Adkins has gone for him before.

I'm sorry, what's wrong with Pogrebnyak and Mariappa? (Guthrie didn't help himself).

EDIT: nvm

bikey, steven hunt, and andy griffin anyone?


.....used to love the way griffin would niggle a player for entire games

[From Despair To Where?]

Well oxf*rd me sideways if this is true. Don't care if he's as mad as a box of frogs, this would quite simply be the most audatious signing the club has ever made.

We're linked with better players in the Championship than we were in the Premiership.

[mumbo-jumbo]

Not sure I want someone who appears to be a complete bell end in the team, however much potential they may have. I just worry how disruptive they might be. Reminiscent of QPR last season , a bunch of talented but lazy and disinterested players on fat wages and with even fatter egos. As my mum would say, be careful what you wish for. There must be someone else who would also appreciate a presumably vastly inflated pay packet to join a promotion campaign next season, but who is also less of a prat? Entertaining? Exciting? Not sure.

[Colin Cheeselog]

I hope he is at least as successful as Mido was at Barnsley.

yourself, has he ever appeared in any way a connection to Reading before? No
