Which is completely irrelevant when it comes to keepers. Handanović is pretty ''young'' for a GK and he is world class NOW.

Why would you prefer the significantly inferior player?

Reina is pretty average gk but still better than Valdes.

Still doesn't mean he is a ''great'' gk.

Nothing of this makes him a ''great'' GK. Barcelona under Pep Guardiola was usually that dominant that Valdes wasn't under any sort of real pressure, especially with defending set-pieces. Guardiola developed a great tactics to minimize dangers of having short players and trash GK in terms of...

Occasional fantastic save from close range that Valdes manages to pull from time to doesn't make him great. He is probably the only player in this Barcelona side that you can legitimately claim that he benefited greatly from having all those world class player infront of him+amazing system...

Completely clueless, lol.

So one goal must mean it wasn't at elite level right? Lol.

This whole Handanović rumor is completely silly. Inter doesn't even own 100% of his contract, just 50%.

Get Guardiola back.

De Gea is extremely talented but atm I would say yes, SH is better. Basically has no weaknesses but was stuck at Udinese for far too long.

The best.

You are cluless. Valdes is one of the main reason for Barcelona being so vulnerable when it comes to defending set pieces since he is horrible at rushing out from his goal line. He just stands there and does nothing and it has been the case for years. He is basically an average gk with some...

I call BS. It was just Pedro and Villa being injured and all other forwards other than Messi missing chances left and right. Remember the Chelsea games? Those was shot galores by Barcelona, just couldn't convert much. Barcelona was still playing great football with Pep in charge on both sides of...

He also managed to turn this team into completely toothless and scared bunch that can't defend to save their lives and was dominated in most of the big games. Barcelona played great football last season despite missing on La Liga and CL so you have to wonder about the long term future with this...

The man that actually made Barcelona defend set-pieces at an elite level. One and only.:worthy:

Barcelona played better football by a mile last season.

Alves has completely lost it. Can't dribble for shit nowdays.

I wonder why people give this guy a pass in terms of his coaching, because of his illness right? Because his Barcelona is NOWHERE NEAR Pep's in terms of pressing, creating chances, defending. Basically everything. Evidenced by playing like shit in basically every big game this season outside...

Just glued to the goal line as usual, a complete POS gk. Can't wait for this scrub to be out of Barcelona.
