CONFIRMED - Royston Drenthe

[LoyalRoyal22]

So, while Brian McBirdmott weighs up moves for Noel and Stephen Hunt, we sign Bridge and Drenthe. Anyone still unsure he should have gone?

[ManchesterRoyals]

Im just gonna say this.. again..


What a signing.


I can't believe we've signed someone who was at Real Madrid for 3 years.

This

Well done Reading FC

.................and Matt Mills.

.........and Kevin Doyle.

Not only is it a great signing because of his experience at Real Madrid but also he is only 26 and should have his best years still to come!

I would take Mills back in a second

I would shít up Mills' cúnt in a second.

But has he signed or is this just one big wind-up. I can't see any official statement, everything is based on his Instagram pic. Even the Chronicle is only saying he is CLOSE to signing after posing in the kit.


Just saying...

[Pepe the Horseman]

It's a fake account anyway.

[maffff]

He looks out of shape. Let's hope Nigel gets him on a good fitness schedule.

Michael Johnson is available on a free too, ex-Man City, class, just needs a good pre-season.

There you go then or am I getting too old and cynical?

Can't believe he's only 26.... and turned 26 in april! Seems like he's sorted himself out too.

He snuck off, robbed the megastore for some kit, then ran into the stadium for some quick snaps just for laughs. He's a right tinker!

[Extended-Phenotype]

Do you pronounce it Drent, DrenTh or Drenth?

Or perhaps Drentay?

[CemeteryJ]

Does it matter if the account is fake? the picture's not. Or are you suggesting some serious photoshopping is going on?

[maffff]

Patience you must have my young* padawan.

I believe its Drentay

[Royal Lady]

Yeah, you wouldn't pose in some kit if you still hadn't signed - ALTHOUGH signing on pics are normally in the first team kit, rather than a training kit - but then again, we don't know what the first team kit is yet, as it's not been unveiled - so do we put him in last year's kit, or are we waiting to announce further signings until we have the new kit to put them in? It's tough isn't it.
