Rafael van der Vaart

[The Wookiee]

Off to join his mate at Reading ?

 

[Mr Bridger]

Rather long Cockney rhyming slang for a bottom burp.

 

[brightn'ove]

Ridiculous signing for them if true.

 

[SeagullofMalaysia]

He's a permacrock, but will provide valuable experience to them a la Bobby

 

[Pevenseagull]

Their Vicente.

Not as good
Not as FLAIR

Decent player but I'd prefer to have AK any day

 

[Paris]

He'll be their Vicente because he'll probably rarely play. Can't help but think Stam is going to be a disaster for Reading.

Yep, could be the Dutch Hyypia, though his signings seem to be encouraging, unlike Sami's signings. Beerens is a good player

 

[fat old seagull]

Staring at me in a rather perturbing manner my Mrs said "well at least the Amex doesn't need another Varter" ...whatever does she mean?

 

[SK1NT]

Wifes hot. Definitely will brighten up the stands at Reading

Well JS does have a head shaped like a biscuit tin

Thought they are separated after he hit her?

VDV was a much better player than Vincent!

 

[Pavilionaire]

Reading fans have just got themselves a cracking readymade song there.

Don't mention Reading fans and songs in the same sentence. The poor things are all still scarred from that abomination that the Chairman gave them. They already support the most TINPOT club in the division and have a manager who is likely to be a disaster so let's not heap more misery on them.

I'd say they're at the same level

 

[Whoislloydy]

Prime example of a player who was LETHAL in Eredivisie for Ajax but couldn't cut it in bigger leagues

 

[Puppet Master]

he was quality a few years back. Decent signing if he stays fit.

Was very good at Hamburg (1st time). He began to decline after his move to Real Madrid, though

Really ?? Did well at Spurs didn't he ?

 

[Whoislloydy]

averaged 12 goals a season over 2 seasons, not great really
