rafael van de vart as new hero

Rafael definitely fitted into the game very well. As a result, Tottenham had got themselves a world class player who can make a difference in their game.

He was always a great player, either we talk about van der Vaart playing for Ajax, Hamburg, Dutch national team or now Tottenham, he always performed well. Only Real has bought him and didn't give him a real chance to confirm his value, which is definitely there. He is a quality player and he has proved that many times. Real has made big mistakes with their Dutch players like Robben, van der Vaart or Sneijder. They were all there and were given away for different reasons. All three players have become important players for Bayern, Tottenham and Inter. I always wanted Bayern to buy van der Vaart when he was at Hamburg. But he decided to go to Real and we all know that he made a big mistake.
