Real close on Dutch trio

[tobi]

Robben, Drenthe & Sneijder set for moves, according to reports

They would be three excellent signings for Madrid IMO

Robben flying down the left

Robinho playing with a free role from the right

Diarra in front of the defence

Sergio Ramos and Drenthe at fullback running on their Duracell batteries.

MVP in goal with better defenders in front of him.

RVP upfront with Saviola and hopefully Higuain playing upfront this season. Raul playing upfront also and not on the right of midfield where he spent a lot of last season.

And Sneijder as the playmaker (Guti will be consistently inconsistent as usual).

Bring on the new Season!

 

[robin_007]

Forget about Sneijder

 

[tobi]

Hold up, how many years does he have on his contract?

 

[103SpooKy]

Yeh would be nice but drenthe doesnt play leftback then but left midfield to assist robben :8):

 

[robin_007]

Sneijder has a contract for 2 years He'll leave next year.

Drenthe is very, very close to signing a 4 of 5 year deal.

 

[robin_007]

Drenthe signed. Robben deal is off, but Real did made a bid of 24 million euro on Sneijder. I fear the worst

 

[tobi]

1 down two to go

 

[robin_007]

1 down one to go

Robben deal is off. I just hope we can resist the big money untill wednesday, when we play CL.

 

[tobi]

Honestly speaking I cant see the Wesley deal happening, I still feel that Robben is a strong possibility though.

Real blatantly need an AM, they didnt get Kaka and I dont understand why they havent made a bid for Riquelme because he is available.

 

[YoungGun_UK]

Robben deal is off. I just hope we can resist the big money untill wednesday, when we play CL.

where does it say the Robben deal is off?

 

[robin_007]

Very, very reliable Dutch media. Sneijder deal is coming closer Real is in Amsterdam to negotiate

Edit: Forgot to tell. Real is after Sneijder and van der Vaart. They will sign only one.

 

[robin_007]

Real Madrid withdrawed their offer on Sneijder

 

[Rentalkid]

You sure? Other sources say the deal is almost done ... :confused:

 

[tobi]

van der vaart would be a good signing, different to wesley though.

 

[robin_007]

You sure? Other sources say the deal is almost done ... :confused:

99999% sure.

Madrid are stupid.

 

[Milanista]

Poor performance by Real against Sevilla.

 

[Gedtillo]

I agree. But some key facts there:

- Van Nistelrooy injured
- Higuaín injured
- Drenthe still not in Spain

Plus, Sevilla's performance was equally poor, it was a poor match with poor referees, tons of tackles and interruptions... and a very questionable penalty.

...whoops?

[robin_007]

Good luck, Wesley.

 

[tobi]

He'll prove to be an excellent signing. :applause:

 

[Enda]

wow, what a signing. Real have done well for themselves in this transfer window

 

[steevio_uk]

Good luck, Wesley.

Nonsense.

That picture is just Wesley and his older brother having some fun with their new camera in his back garden.....

 

[tobi]

Sneijder and Drenthe's presentation is live on Real Madrid TV (Sky 446) at 5.30pm

lol Sneidjer put on the adidas kit and held a nike ball. bit of a contradiction

 

[pk9]
