I agree with Bruce and Igor. I hate Juventus a lot, and I don’t like Chelsea, and neither play attractive attacking football. I hope another club comes forward.

I admit I was scratching my head when he first moved to HSV but it has given him regular football, not put too much of an unrealistic burden on him, and allowed him to develop his leadership skills as captain.

And with RvP’s slow recovery, he may take on an even bigger responsibility in June.

I’m happy he will make his step up to one of the big guns this summer. I was worried when he got sidelined at Ajax, with that Koeman fiasco and left for HSV. It all worked out well for him. Didn’t have a lot of injuries recently… Looking forward to see more Rafaelshine in the future!

What I tried to explain is that Raf has a limited transfer prize in his contract, allowing him to leave HSV in 2009 for only 1.5 Mio!! It’s true.
That’s why HSV is motivated to sell him this coming summer. And even 15 Mio is cheap for the midfielder. Don’t forget, you get Sylvie Meis as well!!

I really hope that another club comes forward to buy vdv, he’s one of my fav. player and i really despise both chelsea and juventus…i’d really like to see him go to a spanish club or arsenal and team up with van persie.

hahaha.. 1,5 mln!! think our mate Jan made a little error here… 15 mln is more like it for Der Kleine Engel

Ugh, I hope he doesn’t go to either of those teams, although I’d prefer Chelsea between the two.

Ideally I’d love to see him at Real to team up with Robben and Sneijder on the midfield, with Ruud up front… wouldn’t that be ideal.

Arsenal would be lovely as well.

Ayl: Don’t think the transfer fee for v d Vaart will be 1.5 M euros. I think Jan was referring to buying out his contract our something like that. Today the UK press is saying that Chelsea could pay around 15 M pounds. So that seems like a much more realistic figure.
