1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

[Luftstalag14]

Bartomeu (president): "Ter Stegen? He's great, he's one of the goalkeepers we've been following, but we're following others too." [bein]

What the heck does this mean? It is not a done deal? He is not the one we want? I hope he is only playing dumb.

 

[DonAndres]

It's just refraining from an official announcement. The board also said that "Neymar is one of the players we're interested in" before we officially signed him, even though we had a deal with him for almost a year before that.

Ter Stegen wouldn't have said "no comment" on the Barca move if it were a no, and you can see that both parties are just reluctant to present it to the public as of yet. Everyone else in Gladbach (staff, players) have made numerous hinting comments about him moving to Barca, so it's safe to assume that there's nothing holding back this deal except time.

so it's safe to assume that there's nothing holding back this deal except time.

And Valdés, because he hasn't disclosed his new team yet.

 

[Jadentheman]

Everyone is waiting till the end of the season. Don't want to unnerve anyone yet.

i can see a U turn. Valdez will renew and stay long term. With rosell gone. it really is a possibility.

Nah, not going to happen.

I don't think so. Nothing's really changed. And I think Valdes problem was not Rosell.

 

[aaron101]

ter Stegen deal is almost done. We can't just tell him.. Hey, Valdes changed his mind, You can stay at Gladbach for now.

 

[Butaan4barca]

I don't think so. Nothing's really changed. And I think Valdes problem was not Rosell.

Bartomeu lately said, Marc ? yes we have been following him, but we have been following others aswell.

We already have the best keeper, but unfortunately he has decided not to renew

Now is a real statement which does reflects something. He will try to offer valdez new contract. Improved one. i think its a real possibility .

 

[FCBarca]

The Valdes ship has sailed and we may never know the real reasons or at least, it may be years...Of course, it could also just be like he said (About experiencing something new) but the nature of how negotiations broke down last season leads me to believe there is something specific at the heart of it relating to the board

 

[Howes]

They were going to announce a goalkeeper signing this January and haven't. Wonder if the fallout from the Neymar transfer has held up this.

How do you know this?

No. They will reveal the new gk after Valdes reveals where he is going to play next season.

That's the same thing Rosell said, more than once. It's not a possibility, Valdes is gone at the end of the season.

 

[Howes]

I'm pretty sure Rosell mentioned announcing the goalkeeper in January

 

[linetty]

I'm pretty sure Rosell mentioned announcing the goalkeeper in January

From what I know, they will only announce a possible signing in summer.
