I think Real made a great signing, if they are thinking about playing in on the wings. This guy is really fast, great technique, good dribble, good passing and crossing. For 14m € it was a good deal.
But, if Schuster is planning to play him as LB, then he made a huge mistake. This guy seriously can't tackle. Goes forward a lot which would make huge holes on the left side on counter attacks, since Madrid will only play with 1 DM, so he won't be able to cover for Drenthe. Also, he loses his cool very often, when he faces a smart opponent, that opponent can get Drenthe to be sent off quite easily. During the Roterdam tournament, he got involved with Porto's Fucile and against Liverpool he got involved with Arbeloa and Xabi Alonso; got booked on both matches.
With that being said, if he plays LM he'll be class, if he plays LB he'll make Real's defence even worse.
