I watched a sports show on Dutch television last night and the Ajax director confirmed that Sneider has been sold to Real for 27 million, Drenthe is on the verge of signing for about 14 million to Real as well. Let's face it guys, we cannot afford those numbers right now.
Besides Koeman the former Feyenoord coach stated Real signed Drenthe was seen as the replacement for Roberto Carlos by Real while he is no defender. According to Koeman who worked with him last year said that Drenthe is a left midfielder who makes too many mistakes to be a defender. He showed signs of brilliance at times but only has one season under his belt and that a move like this came far too soon.
