Rafael Van Der Vaart

[djdwainec]

If alonso goes, i would love to see benitez have a look at this player, we were linked with him when benitez first came, started only 13 games for madrid this season and cant be happy, cost real madrid less than 15 million (around 12 i think) so at 15 million i think he would be a great buy, can play on the left, in the middle or behind torres if gerrard gets injured or in smaller games. anyone agree?

[MutantNinjaSkrtel]

Would love him to sign-right age,unpredictable,skillful,versatile.Wed probably get him on the cheap and his wife is mint.

I think he's a bit of a Michael Owen personally - career constantly on the slide, injury prone and has never really fulfilled his early promise. He's not even worth £10m imo. Sneijder on the other hand, I would gladly take!

[djdwainec]

yeh sneijder is class, but van der vaart is a more realistic signing, not playing much at madrid at all, i think he'd be a good squad player, coudnt cos too much either,has been injured alot but i think he's worth a gamble :) , havent seen his wife mutant??

Google her-ya wont be disappointed;)Her names sylvie.

[djdwainec]

jus did, ha sign him up now :)

If it's not broken, don't fix it. We need Alonso to stay, we'll buy Barry and sell Lucas and get ready for number 19!!

[locallad]

Not 100% on Van der vaart, I dont think he would be consistent enough or stay fit enough, I think there's better options out there.

Defo bring in his wife though :D:D

i think hes not the same player as he was at ajax

[25052005]

I think he would struggle with the physical side of things in the Prem, great player with tons of ability but just not strong enough mentally / physically I think.

[Fowler's God]

Lucas will be better next season........

Agree on Lucas but...

No way is he a CM target for us though?If we had 8-10m to spare after we've adressed our main areas in need of strengthening Id sign him as an impact sub but to play anywhere across the attacking 3 behind nando-not in Xabis position.


Is he not one of these "Between the lines" out and out creative players as opposed to a traditional CM/CDM?

She is sensational. I could understand him being late for training.

[RedRay1]

Never mind him, offer her a contract Id pay to watch that!!! :D:D:D

[mascherIANO]

just having his wife around anfield on matchdays alone would make it a great signing.

[trucker]

Apparently his wife got a job on a TV show as part of the deal in going to Madrid, Hollyoaks looking for anybody at the moment?

Fair City need to replace the Russian.

i cant for the life of me understand HOW alonso could sold!!!??? - it'd be baffling, on a par with selling Torres in the summer.....he had a great season for us

this guy is quality,i think he'd be great in a red shirt.......

i can't see xabi being sold,anyway, gareth barry is apparently wenger's main target this summer.

[djdwainec]

he is quality, we need more attacking options, he's a great attacking player, i never would want to sell alonso, but i cant understand why this guy is not wanted by top premiership clubs considering he cant be happy at the number of appearences at real, and wont cost too much, what happens when stevie's injured? in can step van der vaart, he's an attacking midfielder and can score alot of goals. he'd be a good signing.

[trucker]

Van Der Vart is a very average player and certinley no improvement on our current midfielders would'nt touch him, Snijder on the other hand is the bollox.

Couldn't agree more, Snijder is top class.

[djdwainec]

yeah but sneijder is unrealistic, dont agree that he is no improvement, not on alonso or mascherano, but i think he's another option , half an hour to go in a game with no goals? bring him in for mascherano, i think he would make a difference in some games

your right about sneijder ,but i dont know how low has van der vart gone that his role would be a half a hour when we can't score !!!!!!
sure he might as well join city with the other hungry cu......

[djdwainec]

i dont mean that would be his only role, he could also play on the left, or in the smaller games when gerrard or mascherano or alonso need a rest, i think if he came he would be rotated between the left side and the centre mid but still could be a good addition
