Oh, I know that's your oppinion, as I've read it 500 damn times over the last month or so.
I've had you on ignore for quite a while, but my damn tapatalk app messes up, and still shows your verbal pollution in the headers, and then refuses to make them appear as read even though I force myself to click on the thread, so I guess I'm all out of luck here.
why you care so much for what im doing? and you dont know what kind of supporter i am to critisize me...
If you dont like what i say dont look at or reply to i cant make anything i am who i am and i cant change

KEVIN TRAPP and OLIVER BAUMANN are sub 21 payers for germany the areset to be the biggest talents in clubfootball as goalkeepers... especially KEVIN TRAPP... barca should get him imo... look how good eintracht frankfur tis at the german bundesliga .. 2 place with 5-1-1 .... because of the goalie who saved them incredible points

Neuer is not for sale, Adler was injured for almost two years, Weidenfeller is 32. ter Stegen, Zieler, Trapp and Baumann have zero experience on CL-level. And don't overhype Trapp just because you live in Frankfurt
(your name gives it away). I don't see how any of these keepers is necessarily superior to Valdes. Valdes made and still makes incredible saves from time to time, and like every other world-class keeper, which half of the guys you mentioned are not, he lets relatively easy shots in from time to time. I fail to see the problem there.

From time to time???? Valdes does it all the time. He only doesnt do it when we're completely dominating a match and he has nothing to do. Most of the time all he does is look up into the heavens and cross himself when we score. I fucking hate it when they show that in the replays.
Bottom line he isnt good enough for Barca but since he's a Masia product we have stuck with him. If he was an outsider he would have been given his marching orders some time ago. His mistakes have cost us in quite a few matches. His distribution is ok but nothing another competent gk cant learn. Its not as if Valdes dribbles past 3 defenders and then makes a defence splitting pass. The problem is we'd get 12 million max for him. No other club rates him.
Have you ever heard any opposing manager say, "That Victor Valdes, He's brilliant!". Nope I havent too!

Have you seen how many goal saving moments Cassilas had had against Barca???? I would say minimum 25 at least. Just look at the Copa which they won in 10-11. In the final he won the match with all those saves. Dont bother comparing VV to Iker. Its silly.

The worse one was when Van Persie did it at Arsenal against VV. Talk about threading a needle. There was no way VV could not have saved that.

The problem is his competiton is Pinto-another erratic $hitty keeper. Both Pinto and Valdes make the occasional great save but both are not very strong in the basics.
Lloris was available cheap. We should have gotten him. At least that would put VV on notice. At the moment he's untouchable and thats not a good thing.

yes,you are tottaly right Van Persies goal was the biggest example but Valdes is Valdes and he didnt save it

Valdes is a classic example of a player who an opinion was formed on during his early playing career. There is no disputing he was very inconsistant and error prone in his early career, You wouldnt of thought it was unreasonable for Barca to sell during that period.
But from 2007 til now, he as been nothing short of sensational for you lot, Despite this, the media and some fans who are easily influenced by them still labelled him as inconsistent. And every time a mistake is made on his part, you get this, 'We need to sell...'
I genuinly think he's been on a par, if not better than Casillas these last few years, just a shame he's not as well appreciated as he should of been.

Valdes has definitely improved these past few years. I can only think 5 goalkeepers who are on a different level to him. 1 will always be unattainable and the other 4 play for clubs that don't need cash and would only sell at a premium.
I see Valdes on the same level as about 20 other GK's worldwide at the moment. But for me there are 4 or 5 GK's a cut above him and everyone else at this moment in time.
