CONFIRMED - Royston Drenthe

[Rollerbob]

Tbh I'm not too fussed about this.

Did ok for feyenoord (ie a team in a league in a country as big as Wales), failed at Real and currently signed for a relegated nobody team in a nobody footballing country, Russia. If he was so good why was he playing in Russia?

Chill

This. Whatever happens it won't define our season and he's not the only player we are looking at.

Not this. He'd be a great asset I think. Clearly got bags of talent - would no doubt instantly become one of our best players.
A team in a league in a country as big as Wales? Silly, the Eredivisie has a lot of good teams, Ajax, Twente, PSV to name just three. Size of country doesn't mean how good or bad a league is. Is the Canadian premier league better than the Premier league?

Only in our spastic support would someone say "he didn't make the grade at Real Madrid, he's not good enough for Reading."

[LightwaterRoyal]

Yes, because Canada is oxf*rd massive.

My source at the Madejski tells me he will be announced in the next 120 minutes.

So your source has just sold him a pay and display ticket that expires at 17:30? Did anyone not say Royston lives life on the edge?

True. This could be a 17:29 job. I don't think Royston, however daring, would be the kind of man who would renege on such a commitment.

Can your source also vouch for whether he had in the vicinity of his person a) Narcotics b) Alcohol c) Cigars d) Scantily clad young ladies e) any combination of the previous four?

My sources tell me that this was never more than a rumour, he's pimping up Russia just fine and has had offers from big contenders in the Russian Premier League.

have we failed to sign him just got in from school and can't distinguish whats happened because i thought he was having a medical this morning and it was all done

His right peg leg contained 1m worth of heroin, which unfortunately means he won't be signing.

[UpThePrem]

My source (high up in the club) who I was with last night confirmed that he has been to the club and he has seen him. Nothing more although his smugness suggested it will happen very soon.

[Lovely hot donuts!]

Anyone else starting to suspect that everyone in the Netherlands have decided to collectively take the piss out of us? They put out loads of reports that he's signed when it's total bollocks, we all sit staring at the internet for days on end. Damn those sneaky Dutch!

Isn't this how racist groups are founded?

He's already stalking Reading fans - @BeckyCollins7

Because he's a bit mental and somewhat of a handful for any manager trying to maintain a harmonious dressing room maybe?

Would't know about that, mate. I heard Jim Davidson just put an ad in Melody Maker when he needed a bassist.

I'll get my coat.....

getreading also had a report about parky being our new boss

This situation reeks of the pog last year

[ZacNaloen]

He doesn't need international clearance though so that shouldn't be a delay.

Don't worry when the triple signing of Hooper, Gylfi Sigurdsson and the re-signing of Alex Pearce is on the OS at 5pm Hobnob will be in such a meltdown that no one will care about Drenthe.
