Royston Drenthe was unheard of outside Holland till Real Madrid's desperation to land a left sided midfielder came upon. The highly rated Dutch U21 international was in the interest of a host of clubs in Europe including Barcelona, Chelsea and Real.
I have been reading about this whole interest and the claims from Drenthe's agent of the player rejecting Real's approaches as the Coach was planning to play Drenthe as a left back. Well the latest in the whole story is that Real has tabled an offer of 12.5M to Feyenoord and that the Dutch champions are holding out for somewhere close to 17M. Now Drenthe's agent is complaining that Feyenoord is putting a block on his client's dream move and the amount his current employers are asking Real is ridiculous. He is surprised at the inability of Feyenoord to strike a deal with Real when most clubs around the world find it easy.
Schuster has claimed publicly that Real desperately need a left sided midfielder. With the Robben offer not materialized yet, Drenthe now claims that he is desperate to join the Spanish Champions.
Well i pulled up some info on the so called next Dutch superstar and looks like in his short professional career he has already had two altercations with two of his former coaches. Well red flag and a flaming red flag. Real have had their hands burnt in the past when they signed Cassano who was famous or rather notorious all across the world with his on going feud with Roma. A player with that kind of a short fuse is going to blow up any time, and he did when he abused Capello on being substituted. After a poor season of almost no games and Arthritis Real would want to offload Cassano but will there be any takers?
Well Real want a Left sided midfielder but is Roston Drenthe worth all this effort & is he the player that Real would call the next Zidane?
