Village Idiot Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Just noticed today that Drenthe is still a free agent. Thought he had a good enough season at Everton to earn himself a contract somewhere. But I guess there's too many doubts about his discipline. Still, he's a pretty good player when he's focused and can fill in at LB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Dunno, Drenthe is one of those players who if found a manager that could fix his head would be a great asset. Since he's without contract and nobody seems willing to take a punt, you could easily dictate terms to diminish the risk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Does he work hard enough for Pards? This is a man who let Obertan keep HBA out the team for half a season for want of workrate...I'm not to sure on him, still wouldn't mind us signing him.

Village Idiot Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Despite his antics off the pitch, his workrate in it has always been pretty good. If anything sometimes he's one of those players that tries to be at too many places. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I'm with VI on this one. We could do much worse to bolster our squad than Drenthe on a free. Offer him a one year deal with an option to extend a further three/four and it's a no lose situation iyam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Drenthe would only be worth our time as a winger option from the bench, he's an awful fullback truly awful. I don't really rate him much at all tbh and doubt he would accept a role and a wage we would offer him. Would rather give Ferguson and others a chance before signing people like Drenthe.

He may not be the best defensively, but he's a very useful attacking wingback in the Debuchy mould you have been wanking yourself silly over all summer.

Mole_Toonfan Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Debuchy is a much better defender than Drenthe and he's a much better player full stop. He does his best work as an out and out winger and his quality isn't so high that i'd consider him over what we already have. Besides i wasn't the only one who was wanking myself silly over the possibility of Debuchy Maybe i'm biased but i don't rate him all that much. Besides i'd rather wait till January or even the Summer and get a proper long term option than a short term fix. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I'd rather have him than Obertan, but that's not saying a lot. Wouldn't be particularly comfortable seeing him play full back for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakie Doke Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Strange that no one's picked Drenthe up yet. I think we should have gone for him in the summer. He'll be severely lacking in match practice now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1878 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Despite his antics off the pitch, his workrate in it has always been pretty good. If anything sometimes he's one of those players that tries to be at too many places. Not last season. Hardly ever tracks back & anytime he gets fouled and doesn't get a free kick he'll throw a strop and sit on the floor while the game is going on. Total waster. He gave us a few moments of individual magic during the season but that's not enough. I don't think any manager will sort his head out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Fair enough, I had the impression he had a decent enough season with you, saving yet another falling out towards the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Steve Harper - "Sir Bobby used to say 'Don't just buy good players, buy good people,' we've got some good characters here." Let's go get Drenthe in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TherealnorthernTOON Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Is Enrique just out of favour at Liverpool or is he injured?
