CONFIRMED - Royston Drenthe

[Elm Park Pasty]

I must admit looking at that picture and going 'er, um'. Considering the photo on his Instagram had his face looking down I did begin wonder (esp after the comments about his dad looking 30) that we had signed the dad instead. I thought it's George Weah's cousin all over again......

[mumbo-jumbo]

This is all very odd. Perhaps the club are waiting to officially announce a double signing and he didn't realise the protocol and got over excited by the moment and posted the pic. It would cause too much of an uproar if the club asked him to remove it now, so they are just letting it roll for the time being and generate it's own level of excitement. Could the second signing be Billy Sharp, who may have passed a medical second time around? Certainly doesn't seem to be Hooper, who has just landed in Glasgow.

Hmmm................................................. who would be this second signing?

Can't really see it being Sharp...

Royston Drenthe = Leroy Lita meets Jimmy Kebe!

I was trying to remember about Bridge a few weeks ago. Were the club quick to hit the PR button and get out the photos, interviews etc? I know it's only been an hour or so since the pictures were first posted but maybe there is something else in the works

For fukcs sake, what does it take to convince some people on here - the poor bugger being paraded from the Madejski Stadium to Elm Park with a copy of his contract stapled to his arse announcingI have signed for Reading FC' concurently for 24 hours in every language currently spoken on Earth?'

the club fetched him some kit. they wouldn't be doing that if it wasn't for a photo, and if he hadn't now signed. honestly, it doesn't get much more confirmed than this without a full unveiling. it is a little odd it hasn't been announced yet, but that does lend more to a second deal being tied up at the same time, so we'll see. i reckon it'll be tomorrow we hear officially. hopefully that doesn't mean an evening of screeching from women posters who feel the need to question everything.

[Lovely hot donuts!]

Is it not also possible that they haven't announced anything because it got to nearly five and they knew it would take a couple of hours and couldn't be oxf*rd and wanted to go home? We'll probably hear something before 11am tomorrow when everyone's back at work!

Well, I don't know about anyone else but that would do it for me.

[Unbelievable Jeff]

Seriously though, why has it not been confirmed by the OS?

Because it makes little difference to the club whether fans know now or in 12 hours time and CMZ is having a good old giggle at out expense back at Mad Stad HQ?

[USA_Loyal_Royal]

maybe its a drenthe/hooper or drenthe/sharp double signing

its almost 7 over the pond right? surely it will be announced soon?
