Rafa van der Vaart

[Flashspur]

..he was a player made for Spurs. We should have got him earlier on his career. Its one of the disappointments of Jol's reign. So many great Dutch players coming through like VDV, Schneijder, Van Persie and we got none of them!! What was the big man doing FFS?

We couldn't attract those kind of players back then.

Tto me he would play where I want eriksen to play, and just now I would rather we keep eriksen. If vdv came back he would be squad player imo

Misses the world cup through injury, gutted for him

Tbh it's probably a bit of karma, since he admitted to giving Sylvie a slap before they broke up...

i agree, but that is the problem with VDV he has not been fully fit for years and one of the reasons we allowed him to leave.

 

[Lufti]

Actually whilst we're at it we could also get Sneijder too.

Yeah, Davids seemed alright at the lane the other night too. Could get Van Nistelrooy in, he was deadly back in the day. Maybe Rijkaard, and what about Cruyff? He still alive?

Not the time for veterans who can't complete 90 mins. Half our current squad are gonna struggle to press for a full match once a week, let alone Rafa trying to.

 

[jimbo]

I think we should bring him back and convert him to a deep lying playmaker. I reckon he'd be a good influence on Eriksen an' all.

True, has had injury problems ever since Ajax

Not enough violance for rss I think

 

[$hoguN]

I'd take him back in an instant. The squad lacks winners and leader, VDV is both.

And the reason he never became a really top player.

not everyone was blessed with your turn of pace, vision and luck with injuries parklane1

If he's not a top player, how do you explain this?

 

[Ionman34]

Pun intended?

If there was a pun to be used here, I'd say we should have bitten their arm off when he was on offer.

 

[Gilzeanking]

Hamburg stayed in the First Division by the skin of their teeth (away goal in playoff ) Rafa was taken off at 70 mins..sound familiar ?

 

[spursram]

I think I'll start a bring back Ossie Ardiles thread, I mean he speaks the same language as Poch. Probably just as fit as VdV as well.

 

[WestBelfast Spurs]

Player/coach would be good

 

[parklane1]

I should have put world class instead of top player.

I could have been a contender, but wine, wimmen and song took me
