I guess what makes it partially believable is that he is great friends with VDV. And Rafa would certainly tell him to come here, same reason why Jan is here now.

We should just get Rafa back as well, I miss his passion and enthusiasm.

Fighting. Urge. Ngggffffff. VDV ledge. Ooooumph.

JUSTIN's posts on here are helping temper my enthusiasm as eveything he says is true. But goddamn it...

A few turkish newspapers are reporting a deal of 15 million euros now.

But to be honest i think its all the same "reported" story.

However i feel there is a sense of momentum regarding the truth in this deal.

My god would this be a signing.

Trying utmost best to block the thought.

Why oh why are you guys doing this to yourself? I'm the most optimistic person you'll ever meet but the realist in me is keeping my head clear.
Anything can happen but come on...................really??? If you think about the wages this guy can command! We won't pay anywhere near that IMO. We were always close to signing players but they end up at Chelsea or Man City. I really don't think a player of his caliber would be on the bench at any of those clubs and he will get the wages he wants too

I'm more than happy to be wrong but I'm also worried that some of my Spurs bredrins are climbing a steep rumor mountain here and the higher they climb the more damage will occur when they fall. I think fazza is still on medication after the Arshavin rumor :unsure:

I got a dumb rating for recommending "salt" let's hope that rating is justified and we sign Sneijder(y)

Pfft. Jenas at £7m purlease. It's not often Graham Souness gets one over on anyone but to bend DL over like that. Impressive.

He was actually a prospect at that age, he just never improved past that level once on a decent salary and got ever more injury prone. (n)

I too got a dumb rating, obviously someone's had a miserable Xmas Day.

Just found this from a VDV summer interview. Interesting they talk nearly every day.

"Of course he would like to play in England, it's the biggest league in the world," Van der Vaart said of Sneijder in the summer. "He is a good friend of mine and we have contact almost every day. He knows what to expect in the Premier League."

It'd be so fitting that the words of VdV would put Sneijder to signing for us. I love that man (and his wife).

Ajax fan sites are reporting now too... Still not sure if its the same story in a different jacket or that there actually did happen something. Fact is.. more and more rumours about it.

VdV loved playing for Spurs. Best connection with Spurs fans that I've seen with a foreign player since Klinsmann perhaps. He'd sell us in moments to his good friend. A big thing for a player who has already earned 10's of millions.

it's all the news outlets reporting on that one original tweet and chinese whispers building.

xmas day is slow news day, but they still want their clicks so make up or embellish the facts.

I don't see it at all. but would like it, if avb is happy.
