Boss rules out Rafa move

Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas is pulling out all the stops to add to his squad but has ruled out a move for Rafael Van der Vaart.

The forward has been strongly linked with a move back to German side Hamburg and reports in Holland claimed he was on the verge of an exit. The boss has ruled out a move for Van der Vaart although he says things can happen in football and he is also ruling out a last gasp move for Leandro Damiâo from Internacional. On Van der Vaart, Villas-Boas said: "He's a player who at the moment is not for sale. "In football you never know, anything can happen, but he's a player we are counting on." Meanwhile, Michael Dawson has yet to agree personal terms with QPR despite a fee being agreed between the two clubs.
