van der Vaart.
Hmmm an Argentine who can only play in Argentina due to cultural factors....reminds me of players from another country, but I can't quite put my finger on it yet.
I have to say that Riquelme rejected us for footballing reasons, which to my mind makes him worthy of respect. Even if some would have loved for him to come to the Lane, at least he didn't turn us down for some sort of big money move to one of the Top Bastards*. He's even stated that he'll play for Boca for free for a year, which shows that football is his top priority. Good on him.
*Top Bastards is a new term to denote Man Utd, Liverpool, the Scum and the Scum Mk II. Please feel free to use it regularly.
