Heh would be nice to see the back of that saga. I doubt he will be moving this summer now though.
Also why was there no one else sniffing around Van der Vaart when he has gone for very reasonable money in an expensive market at the mo? |
His contract had a clause that would have let him leave for €1.5 million at the end of next season. Hamburg valued him at around €30 million, so they were satisfied to see him go for half this summer rather than for pennies next summer. Why we didn't hear about anyone else in the race after him? I don't know. But I do wonder what jersey he'll be getting, seeing as how Robinho has #10 and Sneijder has #23.
In case people weren't aware, Messi picked up #10 for the coming season (which means I'll be getting myself a brand-spanking new Barca jersey). |

12 months ago, Rafael came close to joining valencia but then the president decided to start being a **** to Quique Sanchez Flores & brought the ginger dutch prick in as manager to ruin things instead and I don't think we can afford him realistically now, but he's always wanted to play in spain ahead of england on account of his spanish mother, Mike. |

Shame really, I think he would have had a much greater impact at Valencia. Like I could see them building the whole team around him, and even though they picked up Ever, he hasn't been anything special to date (supposedly Atletico want to pick him up on loan).
P.S. Anyone else notice how fine Sylvie Van Der Vaart was looking at his presentation today?

to be honest, a midfield duo of Ever & Rafael would've been pretty exciting. As it is, with Sunny loaned out to I think Osasuna, we're gonna be relying on Baraja, Edú, Albelda if he stays and the dutch guy who I don't rate, Hedwinges something. However on the positive side, Emery has got everyone on the same level which is good and Mata was pretty good coming through last season so there are some positives. Still believe Marchena is a weak link at the back and we're a quality centre back away from top 6 again, plus a forward to make the impact morientes did a couple of years back. |
