Rafael van der Vaart done

[saintlyspur]

Also wanted to add Sylvie Van der Vaarts tweet from earlier today:

"Thank you Spurs, and all the fans for an amazing time!You guys have the greatest team in England. Will ♥you always#coys Time to go home now♥"

Fuck yeh she wants us.

 

[Kingellesar]

Really disappointed and hope he wanted the move to Hamburg rather than we forced him out. World class player and it was a pleasure, thanks for helping us destroy Arsenal, you will always be my favourite Dutch player!

 

[KeaneIsKeane]

But he always scores against Arsenal...Captured my heart more than any Spurs player since pre Liverpool Keane. Also way underrated. His long passing is so sexy. I'm gutted.

 

[DEFchenkOE]

Even though Modric is the better player, I'm more gutted about this. I dunno I just love the guys passion and wears his heart on his sleeve, plus I bet we'd be hard pressed to find other players with his goal record against Arsenal in only 2 seasons.

Thanks for the good times Rafa

 

[alamo]

Feck fuck fack fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Call me Mr censor evasion.

FUCK

Utterly gutted if true.

 

[werty]

Rafa Van Der Vaart, Van der Vaart, Rafa Van Der Vaart! Really sad that he's leaving, but at least he didn't kick up a fuss and is leaving for reasons that you can respect. Will never forget the day he signed and the goals he scored against Arsenal.

Seriously this is going to be a huge loss. We have nobody who can pass the ball forward...

 

[lilywhitecurtis]

Like when Ginola left, I feel very sad. But I think it's the right time, his fitness is a doubt and I don't think he fits very well into AVB's system.

As long as we reinvest the money I'll be smiling by the end of the day.

 

[llamafarmer]

This hasn't fully sunk in yet, but I'm gutted. A proper Spurs player who can leave with his head held high and be welcome back any time! Not been this sad about a player sale since Ginola.

Thank you Rafa for the goals, the skills and the heart-on-your-sleeve passion!

 

[DanNolan]

I loveu Rafa.... thanks for the memories inter milan game and goons 3-2 are two of my favourite games ever!

 

[haxman]

Some difference to how I feel about Rafa leaving compared to Modric.

 

[faymantaray]

RAFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

 

[davros]

Great player who is a pleasure to watch. Makes me think we must have a very impressive replacement lined up. I hope we get some good news soon.

 

[Kendall]

Mortified by this. We have no bloody goals! More toothless than Arsenal!!

Get Barbatov in..

 

[ginol@14]

so gutted we have lost a truly great player , family comes first and unfortunately for us spurs family comes second , i wish him the best of luck , he really did hate arsenal as much as we do and for that he will be remembered as a legend

 

[JollyHappy]

really disappointed but he is can be a managers headache as he never stays where he is meant to be and I can see AVB wants players who do what he tells them to do whereas Harry let them get on with it.

Time will tell if this works or not and of course who else is still to come in today!

 

[onthetwo]

He wanted to take his wife back to Germany, can not blame the guy for that.

true - can we get a pic of her in his honour? Shes ridiculously hot

 

[antti19]

Time him to go and get some players who can run in... Rafa was great for us....sometimes...liked him too
