Royston Drenthe For Real?

Rumors have been floating around that Royston Drenthe, the left-back that plays for Dutch side Feyenoord has been given permission to talk to Real Madrid. I like the young prospect and I think he can provide stiff challenge to Miguel Torres for a place in the team. Moreover, Roberto Carlos' departure means Real Madrid has only one natural left-back (Torres) which can only spell disaster.

Real - Now that you have bought enough defenders to last 10 competitions in a single season, why don't you get us that playmaker that we really need to dictate play. Snatching Riquelme from Atletico doesn't seem that bad an idea now does it...
