CONFIRMED - Royston Drenthe

[maffff]

There are a few pics of him smiling and all the new players including Drenthe seem to be fitting in nicely. Drenthe hanging out with Roberts to watch the game last night is quite the opposite from oxf*rd all da bitches bro.

"Hey Royston, what are you up to?"

"Nothing much, jus watching the game, having a bud.... eiffel towering all da bitches wid my bro Jase"

[Mike Hunt]

I`m sure he does smile occasionally

Tbf there aren't many people who would be smiling after a gruelling back to training gym session.

RIP FiNeRaIn

Where is FiNeRain?

Another shot of him looking confused and not sure of where he is!

Fair play to the man - he takes the time to answer everyone on his Instagram account. Search Royston87drenthe & ask him a question.

Royston: How does the man who drives the snowplough get to work? Why do psychics never win the lottery?

mouth breather!

almost spat out my coffee

Everyone knows psychics are people of extreme integrity

Sounds like he's already splashed out:

@RobsonKanu: “@JasonRoberts30: Days like these, remind me how lucky I am to have a pool in my Garden.... http://t.co/8NYfJnKXs6” Just like Royston's...

We do seem an interesting choice for Royston, and he for us, given his background.

He's obviously been a bit of a hellraiser who struggled with professionalism. Living the good life and flaunting the wealth rather than knuckling down and making the most of his career and talent (not that he hasn't done well in his career). That seems to go against the sort of club Reading always seem and strive to be.

Take Akpan's comments from the documentary about how the squad is so very professional. Everyone behaving themselves and acting professionally, even when on hotel stays in big cities with all the draws of entertainment their wealth can command, they just stay in quietly and then all go for a walk together.

Then combine it with Royston's recent interview in the papers where he said he's now realised everything Moyes said to him about him needing to shape up was true and that he'd reached a real low point in his career and now wants to knuckle down and make something of himself.

Seems like we may very well have not only sold our selves as a good way to get back to the Premier League and restart his career in the big leagues, but that we can provide him with the sort of environment that he needs, as free from temptation as possible and with a good group around him to keep him on the straight and true.

It could be the perfect move for all concerned. Or it could go totally tits up.

He played for Madrid.... and his last club was in Russia (albeit a relegated club), I don't think cash is an issue. From that tweet alone I reckon HRK is off though.

Why? Seems like pretty harmless banter to me, a view enforced by Roberts retweeting it.

Not overly impressive using public roads as a racetrack

Took the bait.

Drenthe posted this on Instagram from the Oracle. Easily pleased, or he's discovered the lap dancing club by the Arches.

[Royal Ginger]

Either that or gregrowley invited him to the Broad Street Mall. It's all relative.

Happy Royston

Royston - "You ain't good enough for Sevilla, buddy"

Carrico - *I don't speak English so I'll laugh anxiously*

[URZZZZZ]

whats with the " 1st team " logo on his shirt, is it to make him feel better or to rub it in the faces of the reserves?

[urz13]

Is that skin cancer on his hand or just a really shit tattoo?

[From Despair To Where?]

It means "1st team from Iberia to show an interest and I'm outta here".
