Welcome to Hillsborough and good luck Royston Drenthe.

 

Very good signing for Championship, If we can get him playing right we could be onto a cracking winger In my opinion. 

[southportdc]

He's better than Antonio

 

More talented, probably/almost certainly. Antonio will never be a Real Madrid player.

 

We have to get that out of him, because it's a pretty sharp downward spiral from there to Reading U21s.

[happy bunny]

We could have a top class player on our hands

 

Going to be an interesting test of Grays managerial technique

[Spookone]

He's better than Antonio

What? After Saturdays performance? Surely not 

[Whitechapel Owl]

Hopefully he will go from Drenthe to Drenthe.

[EcclesallOwl]

He could quite easily be a very very very special player for us

 

Praying that Gray can get him to work hard

[Bluesteel]

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.  

 

Having read about his time at Reading he doesnt sound like the kind of character we have currently. But there are two sides to every story I suppose. Time will tell.

[Guest Sheff Owl]

This could be last chance saloon for him.

 

Gray is not daft, he would never have brought him to the club if he thought he was disruptive.

 

You have to trust Gray and back Drenthe, i mean sometimes players need a kick up the ass and this could be it for him.

 

A longer deal in January would probably be in the pipeline if he does well.

[Lee A]

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

 

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

 

NOT A GOOD COMBINATION

 

 

Sounds like the player least suitable for Sheffield Wednesday 

 

He's going to be a legend, total faith 

[Guest]

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.

He was excellent early on for Madrid but seemingly got a bit billy big time and partying took priority. Looks like he carried his attitude with him to English football but at 27 time may be running out for him to get back to the top level and Gray may be the man to make him realise this and make the most of his ability before it's too late.

I'm told Drenthe move came out of the blue for #SWFC. Also told Wednesday not in any other discussions & not expecting to start any.

Ability wise he's up there with Brunt for crossing/free kicks, mentality wise he's up there with Adamwestsleftear. Basically he's a fruitbat, good luck Stuart!

Wahayy expect news shortly

[FlyingOwl]

Hopefully his fellow country man Loovens can take him under his wing.

It's an exciting signing, no doubt about it. And we needed a winger.

[swfc-dan]

Get in.

 

Rapid and has a great left foot on him. MILES better than Maghoma.

 

Always been impressed when I've seen him, obviously has some baggage hence not making it at other clubs but he's well worth the risk on loan.

[Guest]

Just seen him in All saints with Madine saying we off out tonight
