Royston Drenthe

[love cfc 0]

tribalfooball.com - November 27, 2007 Chelsea football chief Frank Arnesen is monitoring Royston Drenthe's deteriorating situation at Real Madrid. Arnesen and Chelsea's Dutch football advisor Piet de Visser were both keen on landing Drenthe in the summer from Feyenoord, but Real clinched his signing after the U21 European Championships. The wing-back's stay at Real has been dominated by controversy and El Mundo Deportivo says club directors are ready to cut their losses in January and offload the Holland U21 star.

Unless he can be effectively used as a winger better than what we have then it is not worth it. Because he will not get in at left back ahead of Bridge and Cole at the moment....

Agree. Didn't really rate Drenthe either -bit hit and miss. Can see him being a moody fucker as well.

Yeah, I can as well, FB. We have plenty of players who can operate on the left wing, he would be wasted. Let him go to Arsenal where he would play.

[Steve 10,227]

i think we have enough wingbacks he will most likly sit on the bench or just play reserves

Drenthe is great player but this is tribal football so I don't believe in it much

[BlueLion. 21,491]

You think he is good? I think he is entirely overrated.

[Mungii 3]

Yes I think he is good.....and he can be the best.

i agree, i saw him in that U21 tournamant.. decent player..but whether he'd get a game is another matter...and could he hack the Premiership? hmmm..

[EskWeston 696]

The only way it will happen is if we let go a left back, which i can't see us doing, there is simply no room for him here.

Great player,he did wonders for Feyenoord,but at Real Madrid they don't use him much,real waste of talent all the time on the bench....

Would be the same for him with us unless we let someone go...

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Bridge looks the most likely of he and Ashley to go, but he is playing fairly regularly and a lot more often than the likes of Shevchenko and Pizarro. I just think it would be a complete waste, because he is a talent, but he needs to play every week for his potential to be reached. I hope he one days becomes the next Roberto Carlos, but I cannot see that happening at Madrid or Chelsea.

[TrueChelseaBlue 105]

Althou.. he can also play as a Forward/Winger..
