Van Der Vaart's first interview after the Spurs deal

A short interview about joining the Spurs, how fast the deal came about, and why he left Real Madrid:




Nothing amazingly revealing, but i thought i'd post anyway (sorry to pour salt on the wounds though...)
I guess he didn't have a good relationship with the club. :(

damnit Rafa, you're breaking my heart.

I always respected him and valued him as a true team member, although I was never a constant follower of him...but jfc, there's no excuse for what was done to him...none. Last minute sale, no say in it for him, DISGUSTINGLY low price agreed upon, couldn't even give him a heads up (hell, they couldn't even do it by the proper deadline)...just the whole situation...no human should be treated like such garbage as he was.

The only consolation is the idea that he will get play time at the Spurs, be able to showcase his full talent, and be loved and appreciated by the fans...he deserves it so much, and if they can give it to him, there's solace in that.

Agree with all of this SFM. The whole situation made me so angry and so sad. But I really wish the best for him with the Spurs, he should be at a club where he is treated well and appreciated for how great he really is.

BTW, is your name a Metric reference?

Agreed, if the Spurs & fans love him like we did, it's better than being treated like shit by Valdano & Perez. He'll end up having amazing success just like all the others they tossed away like trash

Yes! It is! Nice music taste BB! :D

*hugs* thx BB. My sympathy and sadness for him is the only thing I can put into words...the resentment for Valdano & Perez is just strings of incoherent obscenities and death wishes so far, haha.
