Royston Drenthe

Frank Drebin · September 1, 2011

If he is gash he leaves at the end of the season. If he is boss someone offers him big wages and he leaves at the end of the season. He's here for a season.

Aye. This is why I want Coleman at RB. He's good overlapping and if you can get someone who likes to cut in to play in front, it works great. See: Pienaar + Baines.

However Drenthe is left footed. I think he'll be more inclined to hug the line on the left. Food for thought anyway.

Gueye was woeful at RM. Coleman can cut in but his left foot isn't great and once he does cut in he looks like a headless chicken.

Davey likes his his left footed wingers on the right and vice versa mate.

From Real Madrid. Whatever this means...

So that basically means we signed him permanently on one-year deal. Right?

He likes playing right footed central midfielders at LM.

Me too mate. He looks a boss talent and I think Moyes can work through his flaws and problems to get the best out of him.

The worry for me is less "will he be good?" and more "will he stick around when he's on a bosman?"

That's my fear, if he has a stormer will other 'bigger' teams be in for him? I certainly hope not.

He likes playing his best footballers next to Baines, it doesn't matter which foot they use, it's Baines being left footed that matters.

So we blame Baines?

A new low, FFS.

Dont try and switch it around lad, everybody can clearly see you blamed Baines.

His motivation isn't that easy to deduce, mate. The fact is he's played one of either Osman, Pienaar or Arteta there for almost all of the last 4 or so years. They are all right footed central midfielders.

You may well be right but I think I am too.

This international window is now annoying. I can't wait to see us play with the new signings to see how (if?) Moyes works them into the squad.

I'd say for once it's convenient. It gives us a bit more time to bed in our new signings.
