Real Madrid's Dutch
experiment has cost the club €68.5 million.
Rafael van der Vaart, a €11 million transfer to
Tottenham, and Royston Drenthe,
who signed with Hercules on Tuesday, were the last of the Dutch
clan on the books of Real.
Two season ago, six Dutchman arrived, the aforementioned duo,
plus Wesley Sneijder,
Arjen Robben, Ruud van
Nistelrooy and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar for a total of €127.5 million.
And they have all left for fees totalling just €59 million - not
including wages and bonuses.
Real president Florentino
Perez, says El Mundo Deportivo, never rated
any of the Dutch and is happy to clear them off his books.
