There were also reports that Drenthe didn't want to move to Real because they planned on playing him as LB while he thinks his best position is LM. If his best positioning is attacking then what will his defending be like?

Hehe, its always different "reports" from A to Z. I prefer the officially quotes.
I don't think Drenthe had went to Real Madrid if he wouldn't play LF, because I think he'll end up there....if Robben will arrive...and I don't think he's defending is that bad either. Hopefully he'll develop as player and most important thing is that he will be a equal player as Carlos. Madrid won plenty under this kind of style and play.
The price is of course much for a player, but when Michael Chopra goes for £5 mill, Owen Hargreves for £17 mill....and what the market has went crazy.....is £9.3 mill for a very great talent much? Nope. He has been linked with many of the biggest clubs in Europe and if he had not been sold either if he not had asked the board that he wanted to play for Real Madrid.
