By: Chris |I wrote a pretty lengthy entry about this earlier. We all know that Raphael van Der Vaart is leaving HSV one way or another after this season. His destination is what remains up in the air. We have heard Valencia, Milan, Juventus, and Inter(?!)since last August. The latest suitor was reported to be Chelsea, and [...]
