Were Drenthe's wages going to be a boost in our summer player recruitment LCAB or no real impact?
It wouldve been significant .
Hes at Real Madrid . No matter that Ive got more chance of playing for them .
His Agent would forget that part...
Im wondering why mourinho hasnt sold him instead of loaning him out, maybe he does see something there, he sold balotelli when he had the chance and ues way more talented
You gunna do a transfer thread this summer mate? You know you want to!!![]()
Drenthe = the knife we were bringing to the cup SF gunfight, which was then left in the draw by the three times Manager of the Year.
That'll always be my abiding memory.
Well done ginger minge.
Selfish, pacey, arrogant and stepovers... he was my kind of player, should of been involved in the semi unless he had been convicted of murder.
A bloody shame because he has talent and was showng signs of being a team player - I was really impressed with the shift he put in when we beat city.
But clearly a troubled fella. On a human level you hope he can get it together and stop being a tit. Moyes gave him some time off to sort himself out due to personal problems and he threw it back in Moyes' face. Ultimately Moyes is in charge, you play by his rules. I don't think Moyes handled it badly at all.
As soon as it went in I thought "FFS Royston lad Everton players don't do that".
If that were to happen it would be another Ballotelli situation, where he gets his act together for a couple of months and then has another wobbler causing all sorts of problems, worth the risk?
I just don't understand how we can afford to be choosy. Quite literally.
So your saying you would pay this Clown around 80k a week to show up for training when he felt like it, ignore his bosses orders and basically do what he liked as long as he turned up on a Saturday and did stuff?
And then, the other 20 players in the squad decided that they didnt need to turn up for training or take any notice of orders given.
I wonder how that would turn out.
Donovan is a overall better player than drenthe.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS
People get carried away with the fact hes available on a free but i imagine the cost of donovan over a 3 yr period would be no more to the club than drenthe once everything is taken into account.
Drenthe.. Even taking away his piss poor attitude would be no more than a impact sub at the top teams.
Yep. Moyes got this one terribly wrong. Not the discipline mind. Just the timing of it. What a cockup !!
My kind of scum. Fearless and inventive...oh, wait.... What I meant is that I agree with your post 100%.
He did on the timing of booting him from the team. You don't kick him out BEFORE the semifinal. You boot him out after that.
Ha...they don't. Our players pass it around and try not to have it nicked off of them. If it all works out, then we may get a shot off.
Yes.
One thing I've learned in my short 13 years of supporting Everton is that Evertonians want to have their cake and eat it too. Often times, they fail to realize that a player of that kind of quality may come with baggage. Often times, they don't. The ones that don't, play for Milan, Barca, Bayern, etc.... The ones that do, clubs like Everton take a flyer on. Why? Cause none of the big boys will.
Yeah it would have been a risk, but you've got to weigh the pros with the cons and at the end of the day, I figure the pros would have outweighed the cons in regards to Drenthe.
We can't. But since we have a limited budget, apparently we need to be careful about who we sign. Hence, Everton is made up of the players we have now. I doubt we'll ever have room for a player of REAL TECHNICAL SKILL like Drenthe or Fernandes, players who can turn the game around in a flash. As someone so accurately said earlier, never Moyes type players anyway.
Really? You think that's how it would go down?
I suspect that if Moyes ever had the balls to sign a player like Drenthe, that there would be some disciplinary clauses built in.
Remember, this is David Moyes were talking about...
...yeah, in which case, we'd never get a player like him to play for us.
Never mind.
