You're making me go where? Everton?! For God's sake...
Royston Drenthe: Liverpool Should Read This Before Signing Everton’s Real Madrid Loanee. They should be afraid, very afraid…
One of the more naturally gifted all-rounders in the modern game, Royston ‘Ricky’ Drenthe is a man you should be keeping a close eye on. Already a Bada*s by association (he is nephew to ex-Ajax, Juventus and Barcelona midfielder Edgar ‘The Pitbull’ Davids) Drenthe has time and again proved that he belongs in this column outright, not just because of his family. His career began modestly at Feyenoord, but took off after he appeared for the victorious Holland side at the 2007 u-21 European Championships and was named Player of the Tournament by UEFA. This secured him a 13m Euros move to Real Madrid; but only after Drenthe, in his first public display of being a Bad*ss, threatened to take Feyenoord to court if they did not let him leave.
Despite scoring a stunning goal on his debut against Sevilla, he failed to make much of an impact on the first team at Real. He more than made up for this off the pitch though; driving his car through the unfamiliar city of Madrid, Drenthe got lost and turned to his Satnav to direct him. And when it told him to turn left, he did so; taking absolutely no notice of the police car that was in his way and crashing straight into it. While he and his three passengers escaped unhurt, a policeman was taken to hospital to be treated for whiplash. Royston 1-0 The Police. He was then stopped at 4am doing 160km/h and having run 6 red lights, but escaped punishment after saying that he was rushing to hospital. 2-0.
By now well out of favour at Real, he spent the 2010/11 season on loan at newly-promoted Hercules. And while his time there started as a fairy tale, his free kick leading to the first of two unanswered goals in an astonishing win at Camp Nou, it soon turned to Greek tragedy as it emerged that the club couldn’t actually afford to pay the players as they had agreed; a problem rife in Spanish football that has led to a players strike and 2-week delay to the beginning of the 11/12 season. But while teammates including France international David Trezeguet bitched and moaned privately, Royston unleashed his innate Bad*ss and went on strike in December, heading to his home in Rotterdam for Christmas and threatening to return to Madrid if the situation wasn’t resolved. He said of the matter; “I know that the people will probably think I’m a difficult character, but I’m not doing anything wrong here. I haven’t been fully paid once since I left Madrid for Hercules. I’ve received 50 per cent of my monthly wages on two occasions and didn’t get paid at all in the other four months. I have a mortgage and several other bills that need to be paid.” And those other bills must have been fairly substantial.
When it emerged in May 2009 that he was nailing Malena Gracia, two-time Spanish Playboy Cover Girl, there was only one person who wasn’t impressed by the news, Drenthe’s wife, who was pregnant with their second child..
Because off the pitch, one of Royston’s greatest talents is his way with the ladies. While every respectable modern-day footballer bears a scar or two from the fake nails of a glamour model, this would never be enough for a true Badass and Drenthe put himself ahead of the curve by joining the select club of those who have ‘banged’ a Playboy bunny. But even this wasn’t enough for Royston. When it emerged in May 2009 that he was nailing Malena Gracia, two-time Spanish Playboy Cover Girl, there was only one person who wasn’t impressed by the news, Drenthe’s wife, who was pregnant with their second child. That’s right, Drenthe’s wife. This affair doesn’t even appear to be a one-off or a well-kept secret; when interviewed, Royston famously responded to the question, “How often do you have sex?” with the frankly unbelievable answer, “With my wife, you mean?”
When he’s not too busy romancing smoking-hot women, Drenthe spends much of his free time in pursuit of the arts with his blossoming gangsta rap career. In 2008, he featured on Dutch artist U-Niq’s track ‘Tak Takie’, alongside former Ajax and Liverpool starlet Ryan Babel no less, before correctly deciding that the more established rapper was clearly holding him back and cutting a record of his own in July entitled ‘Jemay-Lee’ after his daughter and second child. Yes, the second child with whom his wife was pregnant while he was smashing a Playboy model. Somewhat upsettingly, this fact doesn’t seem to be mentioned in the song, although it could just be this author’s limited Dutch that is to blame for misinterpretation.
At only 23 years of age, Drenthe has plenty of potential to become an ever bigger Bad*ss in the future. Only last year, he added another weapon to his ever-expanding arsenal by executing a perfectly-timed karate kick to LA Galaxy midfielder Juninho’s head, in a pre-season friendly no less. Attaboy, Royston.

Christ... well if he's going to get sent off in the Derby, he better do it for something spectacular, that'll endear him to Evertonians everywhere. A well timed two footed lunge on Stevie G Laaa will probably do it.
he would probably miss and cripple himself the thick git.
This can only end badly or very badly.
Drenthe would be a bargain buy, if Liverpool want him but he is very inconsistent and has attitude problem. I would prefer Liverpool to sign a world class winger but if not then Drenthe would be decent second choice backup.
every dutch man seamingly posses the potential to self distruct and amazingly with all the examples they fail to turn around.
Y sign him he is shit
you will be lucky to be above everton this season,and that suarez is the bigest cheat i have ever seen,eight times he went down as if he was in terrible injury against city.and eight times he was up in seconds ,he is a horible cheat,a refs nightmare.
ha! ha! lucky to finish above everton??????? city were lucky to get a draw against lfc that is a fact . Everton will be lucky to finish in the top ten this year they are poor in terms of playing ability and finances. lfc will finish in the top four and drenthe is not a player they would go out to purchase.
It'll be anarchy in the north-west with this fella and Mario on the loose.
Good player, but not world class. He tends to get over excited and misplaces passes. Still, I think David Moyes should sign him up if its possible and he can afford the wages. I could see him being interested in going to Liverpool solely because Liverpool is a bigger club, with a bigger global reach. But the comments above about Liverpool being, frankly, crap, are spot on. They'll be lucky to qualify for the Europa, and are a miles away from the Champs League. Oh, and Suarez is a cheating get. The Kopites would hate him if was with another club. Typical Kopite hypocrites.
Kopites are gobshites fact. £100's of millions spent and you are no better than last season. Can't wait for the goofy freak racist to get banned and the greasy gyppo has to play.
the guys a bellend, his wife is well fitter than that bottoxed spanish model. file under: players who beleived their own hype and turned into dickheads.
Ha,ha....he is better than the £35m gypo. Great pen.
Liverpool are no good for someone of his class - they are unlikely to win anything - better off either staying at Everton or playing for a team who arnt a spent force like the reds and sign for a dutch club
Haha!!!!!!!!! Signing for the shite???? He's avaliable on a free so king kenny will probably offer £35 million for him cos Carrol was worth fuck all an he paid a fortune for the pikey!!!!
Wow. 'Footballer is a classless bellend' shocker! Just a gentle bit of advice: Most Football clubs don't sign footballers based on their personality. (Certainly not Liverpool with their previous in signing Suarez and Carroll) Liverpool have spanked a fortune this season and are still average. For every decent player that Comolli 'discovered' at Spurs (Bale, Assou-Ekotto, Kaboul, Modric, Berbatov) he also signed a load of gibbers (Zokora, Mido, Taarabt, Rocha, Prince-Boateng, Gilberto, Dervite, Pekhart). Guess you throw enough mud, some of it's going to stick, eh?
All you bitter toffees trying to slate liverpool were on the up while you's are going nowhere only down david moyes is the only thing keeping you lot in the epl and what a job he has trying to do it with no money and no aspirations of winning anything it won't be long before he's gone to a club that he deserves and everton will be apart of history only to be mentioned when talking about how much liverpool spanked them poor owl everton good bye.
Oh bitter toffees get a grip your just the standard plastic fan, I've been to Anfield more then you and I'm a blue. Talking absolute shite you lid.
Funny these blue bitter twats. Your clubs a mess. your grounds a mess your chairmans skint. your squad is shite. we'll take and bench drenthe. city/utd will take baines/rodwell and arsenal jags. that other overrated fuzzy haired twat will end up in italy.
HAHA!!!!!!!!! Deluded Redshite!!!! In what way are you "on the up"???? You've spent an absolute fortune AGAIN!!!!! And on what??? Henderson????HAHA!!! Downing???HAHAHA!!! Carrol???HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every time you get money you blow it!!!!!! FACT!!!!!! City have took your place in the big 4 and without that champions league slot the only direction your going is DOWN!!!!! Never mind though, you've always got the past to think about!!!!! PMSL!!!!
And which of the big clubs [ which you are not] would take four of your players, only the golie with the big boot down field maybe the cheating diving forward, or the booing of your crowd every week for a long time lucas.
Player objects to not getting paid, cheats on wife, crashes car and has a go at rapping. Hardly shocking, no less.
What a guy!! haha. This kept me laughing for a while in work. His rap song should be played at goodison instead of z-cars for one match this season!! p.s. cant blame him for doing Malena Gracia ;-)
drenthe dosnt want to leave everton,after this season his contract at madrid ends and his planning to sign with everton
Can't see him joining the Redshite. He's loving it at Everton, he "gets" it. I really hope we sign the guy, I don't believe his wages would be a problem. Certainly be no more than we pay Heitinga, for instance. Looking forward to seeing him on the left and Landon on the right. Might actually have some pace in attack for once.
Royston Drenthe is not related to Edgar Davids. That's not the only factual error in this piece. Just saying.
This article must have been written by a paranoid evertonian! Why would we want him? He's crap! We don't buy all the crappy players you know :/ We were absolutely shite at wembley and still won comfortably....says a lot about those blues... EvenCardiff were more of a match, they played football and wernt shaking in there boots. They had what's known as heart! Moyes celebrated there Goal as if the final whistle had blown... Bless him.... Anyways Blues, well done on supporting your team even though you knew they had no chance.... That's real support!
Everton are shite is that your only aim for the season to try and finish above Liverpool you gang of jokes. Yours have no chance al eat me boxies if yous gobshites finish above us ye soft cunts
He's not crap, in short he has the talent to be a world class footballer like his Uncle was. But that attitude of his, is shite. He should have learned from Rotterdam legend Dirk Kuyt because if Royston had Dirks attitude towards football and life he'd be in the top 10 attackers in Europe. I could understand us taking a punt on him on a free, in hope that Kenny can get him focused as opposed Moyes massively overrated man management skills that really only work if youre a donkey or Phil Neville. At the end of the day I'm not arsed about his love for the ladies. Digger had more than his fair share of women (allthough he's a class act he probably has enough children to form a small town). It's about application, if Royston could do that he'd become a world class player. If he can't, we'd be able to move him on swiftly to another club who thinks they could do the same.
Well how fucking wrong was I? The kid's got a screw loose. Fit right in across the park with the likes of Carroll, Suarez and Bellamy. It's not just Moyes who ended up washing his hands of him, Mourinho did the same. And pretty much every club he's been involved with. Shame, 'cos he's quite a nice lad and got bags of skill. The redshite are welcome to him, frankly. It's nothing to do with his love for the ladies. He turns up for training when he feels like it and is a bad influence on the younger players, and will not take discipline for shit. Best of luck if you do sign him.
