Pretty sure his wife has been cancer free for a little while now. It's well known that VdV is happiest between the lines, and this signing really backs up what I've said on here before - that Harry is looking to play 4-5-1 in certain (especially European) games this year. We were very much in for Joe Cole and Fabiano - players that would have allowed us to do so, and while neither came off, Van der Vaart is still ideal for the system. I expect us to make a real push for a quality #9 either in January or next summer.
