Van der Vaart deal confirmed

We are delighted to announce that we have reached agreement with Real Madrid for the transfer of Rafael Van der Vaart.

The Holland international came through the ranks at Ajax and won two league titles during 141 appearances with the Eredivisie side, scoring 60 goals before leaving for Hamburg in the summer of 2005.

The attacking midfielder, 27, was the Bundesliga side's leading scorer in his first season in Germany and went on to captain the side before joining Real Madrid ahead of the 2007/08 campaign.

Rafael has been capped by Holland a total of 83 times, scoring 16 goals, since making his international debut against Andorra in 2001 at the age of 18.

He has since represented the Netherlands at two European Championships and two World Cups, including this summer's tournament in South Africa where he featured five times in the side's run to the Final.

[anisky0703.livejournal.com]

This is me in a nutshell. I'm sorry vdv, but there is no way I'm *ever* going to support the Spurs.

[mila-casillas.livejournal.com]

Good luck VdV. You had so much love for us and we the fans loved you back. I really wish Mou had gotten his way and kept you with us.

Our squad. Gods I really feel like crying. The injuries, the unnecessary buys... the selling of a player who tried his very best to prove he was worth it and succeeded, only to be sold off... Sniff-sniff.

*hugs*

It isn't pathetic by any scale or definition.

[mila-casillas.livejournal.com]

Mou said he liked VdV very much and had place for him in his current squad. Mou does not fib. If he had stayed Mou would have given him playing time.

I'm sorry everyone :/

[asdfg.livejournal.com]

Dick move by management. Seems like it's a hotter trend everywhere this summer.

Spurs did miss the deadline and if the Prem actually followed the right rules they wouldn't have allowed the transfer to take place. However just like they did with Arshavin when he moved to Arsenal, they gave Tottenham 'special dispensation'.

Welcome to the Prem, VDV. Would have preferred you at United but also pleased he's at Spurs as I like them much better then some other teams.

[anais-molko.livejournal.com]

they did it with Robinho aswell

[danielachan.livejournal.com]

Again, I may have wanted him out of Madrid so he could play, but to spurs? my poor heart...
at least I hope my bb would play...

[anisky0703.livejournal.com]

I'm sure the Spurs will find a place for him; the man is much too talented to be sitting on the bench.
