Sheffield Wednesday sign former Real Madrid winger

[Guest Sheff Owl]

Interesting one.

 

We wanted a winger, we get one.

 

It's another body in the club.

 

I'm sure Gray wouldn't have brought him if he had ANY doubts, we all know how important team spirit is.

[Guest Mancunian_Owl]

We all wanted a quality Winger and in terms of Ability Drenthe is possibly the best out there.

 

I back SG to get the most out of him, and Bullen to beat the cr*p out of him if he doesn't.

 

UTO

[FlyingOwl]

He made 47 appearances for Madrid and has also had spells with Everton and Feyenord. He can't be a bad player.

His attitude is obviously questionable. But if Gray can get the best out of him then I'm very excited about this signing.

[acquiescefc]

Whats he like on grass

[southportdc]

If the Reading fans are right, he's lazy.

 

If Wiki is right, he has anxiety issues when being booed.

 

NOT A GOOD COMBINATION

 

 

 

He's going to be amazing for us though. Gray is a wizard.

David moyes got shut of him cos he likes his drink and partying.

He be ok with May and Madine then 

[Guest Sheff Owl]

I also wouldn't read too much into what opposition fans say, remember...

 

Tom Lees was garbage..

[Bluesteel]

He's clearly got ability, hasnt really been as interested as he couldve been for the last few years.

 

But, we do need a direct winger who takes people on, quite strong too. May go some way to helping us fill the void left by Antonio

[Guest wilyfox]

Cut the dude some slack. Roger Johnson was supposedly a ticking time-bomb, and he did fine.

[blueandwhitematt]

Amazed with such a reportedly strong team spirit, we've made a signing such as this.  Big risk from Gray this one, but fingers crossed some sort of penny drops with him.

His attitude is obviously questionable.

STOP BASHING OUR NEW SIGNINGS JUDAS.

Jason Roberts was talking about him on 5 live this weekend by coincidence.

Saying how he didn't like the quick closing down and physical nature of the Championship.

 

Still,  if anyone can get the best from him then it'll be SG.

[prowl]

Sound like we will look at him until new year and possibly sign him on a permanent if we like what we see. No big investment, if he is disruptive or doesn't fit in he can go back to Reading.

 

Potentially nice business. Only danger is he plays a blinder each week and someone else gets him.

 

Good find though.

[townend_owl]

Cut the dude some slack. Roger Johnson was supposedly a ticking time-bomb, and he did fine.

 

And Tom Lees is rubbish, apparently.

[southportdc]

tbf, if he's just a pacy and strong but half-hearted winger, we've essentially got last season's Antonio and Stevie May for Antonio.

 

With the chance of a lot of upside.

Is Drenthe the chap who invited the fans round to his house to play football computer games?

If so he'll be a huge hit here.

[Silkstone Owl]

Clearly some trust issues amongst the Wednesday faithful

Hope he does well, SG wouldn't have brought him in if he didn't think it would work

He's better than Antonio

Yeah heard that interview, Drenthe thought he would walk it in this league didn't happen for him.

 

Again in terms of ability its there, if it doesn't happen on a Saturday we have players who can come on for him,

Would of rather had Paterson from Forest 

Just need a CM now
