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.

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.

IKR? he always hated on our dutchmen, ALWAYS! even when Robben was in top form for us he hated on him (which i found amusing at the time)


Fuck you Valdano i actually liked you as a commentator and player wtf happened to you

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.

It isn't pathetic by any scale or definition.

[mila-casillas.livejournal.com]

Hehe. I am tearing up too. We are all so pathetic. One of us is going to assassinate Perez/Valdano one of these days.
