Royston Drenthe

Could the Royals be achieving their second signing, if Royston's Instagram account is to be believed, he has signed a deal, though there has been no official comment from the club itself.

The local press have been saying since the beginning of the week he is about to sign, then there was a minor hitch, but here we are Thursday morning, with no official announcement.

The former Everton and Real Madrid player, is a left winger who also can fill in left back, looking at You Tube he has a bit of a bad boy image, as shown on one clip driving a Ferrari at speed around the streets.

To be honest, it is about time Readingfc got some characters for the fans to latch onto, the football we have seen over the last few years as been a bit sterile and safe. Yes it has had exciting moments but generally the football has been dire over the last eighteen months, possession being a naughty word.

So have we signed Royston, or did he just break in the Madstad, donned a Reading Fc shirt and posed in the stadium to force the deal through.

Our return to the Championship has been welcomed by most fans, it is a safe place where we have proved in the past we can compete, so it may be a bit premature to welcome "Roy of the Royals" but from where I sit, he will bring much needed spark and someone who the fans will take to.

Seeing the fixture list has come out, it is too early to get excited about any games yet, but that will all change come kick off when the season begins at home to Ipswich Town on 3rd August 2013, where Jay Tabb will be welcomed back to the Madstad
