Anyone who has watched them since their careers started would know its OBVIOUS ithat Van Der Vaart is easily the more talented and better player.
Does not mean we need him or should sign him, but you should still know whats what.

I dutchie saying Snejder is more skilled then Van Der vaart?
Seriously, Van Der Vaart is clearly the more skilled one.
I sincerely hope this is due to the fickle perception Snejder being in a good place with Inter while VDV has been out of sight out of mind in the eyes of the football world in his Real stint, hence people forgetting his skill But in Ajax, it was very glaring VDV was the top class level of talent one, while Sneijder was and is the good and functional player. Same with Hamburg, VDV performed in a level Sneijder hasnt and prolly never will.
The perceptions of players can be altered rather gravely based on very current circusmtances, for example while in Milan Gourcuff was considered a laughing stock and Nasri in excelling in Marseille, the heir apparent to Zizou and darling of France. There was a total reversal on this when Nasri was struggling alot with Arsenal, doing very little, and Gourcuff was dominating France for fun, in club and national level. If you talk to the same people in these two different scenarios, you'll be hearing different and contradicting things about the players. It just can be too fickle.
My point is, I really cant get how anyone can say Snejder is better or more skilled then Van Der Vaart, he has a better shot, and is more of a two-way player then him. But the superior and more talented one should be obvious, if you consider the overall picture, and not just current circusmtances (just not long ago, Snejder was the butt of the joke for lot of people for stinking it up at Real in second season).
