He is injured but with the right approach, he could still make it. Some players take more time (Van Persie, Kuyt, Van der Vaart) others make it big when they're very young (Cesc, Messi).

He's happy go lucky and maybe not too smart. He is very extraverted, wears his heart on his tongue. But sometimes it comes out brash and naive. He's a good kid I think, but probably spoiled. When he bragged about his Juve game, it wasn't to claim he played superb, it was more a response to the reporter who implied Royston didn't play too often at Madrid. I think he has a good heart, but gets carried away. It's quite something to be 18 years old (?) and being courted by Real Madrid. What can you do? His work-rate is awesome, he will never hide himself on the pitch, he tries hard and he does have skill. I like to see him succeed. Remember that Seedorf and Davids weren't the most popular players when they were young. Maybe there's a bit of envy from the fans too. Tall poppy syndrome and all that. I say: have faith in the guy. De Haan loved him (once), Schuster loves him, now Neeskens has a soft spot. Hell, even Van Marwijk spoke highly off him.

I am worried about the other dutch players there who set in the bench sometimes but they shouldn't real madrid has destroyed him and that’s not strange from real madrid to destroy players.

The skill of doing the right thing. He lost the last year, with his primadonna-esque attitude. Of course he got the gifts of playing and can still rebuild his career. He's not just Royston, he's also just a 21-year-old boy. But he needs to start the rebuilding NOW. Otherwise, he will be remembered as 3ric said: a flop, an "eternal promise", as we say in Brazil. Nothing more. Drenthe had everything to be THE NEXT Dutch jewel, after 2007 European U-21, but one thing: head. The skill of doing the right thing.

Drenthe is a great player, the problem is that he went to Madrid when he wasn't ready to leave Feyenord. He seemed desperate to prove his worth everytime he came in the pitch and he played without thinking, lately he has been playing more and is doing better and better. In my opinion Drenthe will be a major asset to our national team in the near future. MARK MY WORDS. People forget he’s a kid yet.

Had some good passes and assists. Yeah he made a few mistakes but that's just youth showing through. I think he'll be really good once he really starts cracking down and learn from the leaders at Madrid. Watched him today, he wasn’t all that bad. Had some good passes and assists.
