1 - Victor Valdes

[Galning]

Please watch the video posted above. He won three Champions Leagues with our team, while being amazing in all three of them and he is in my opinion in no decline. He will be a success in every club he goes and I am afraid that Barca fans like you will understand how amazing Valdes was, only when he leaves us.
I am sorry but you sound ignorant and the fact that you don't even bother to see the title of the thread to write correctly the name of our most successful goalkeeper of all time and 5th in all time appearances makes it even worse.

Don't bother discussing Valdés' quality with people who can't even spell his name correctly.

If this is going to be a goodbye conference, doesn't that mean that we're giving him away for free like it was said before? Please, tell me I'm wrong...

"The Valdes rumour is also false. We are pleased with our goalkeeper [Danijel Subacic]. We will discuss it again with [coach] Claudio [Ranieri] in a few days for the moment we are not interested in Valdes." [goal] <- Statement from Monaco CEO

 

[ShandyFFM]

you guys think abidals situation could have influened valdes decision to leave

 

[barca7788]

Ive never had confidence is valdez, him wanting to leave is also kinda dumb cause its gonna expose him more and probably get benced for the rest of his career. He is good but not great to start for a world class team , monaco is a good choice but i am sure they wount be satisfied with him for a long time.

i too never had confidence in him. a save here n there doesnt make him world class.

So he will stay for another year, press conference (Spanish) here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8XurdwUstI

That could lead to the club not signing a new keeper this year, but mos def they'll save some for next year.
Maybe now the search for new center back will be pushed even more now.

 

[Catorce]

In a sense it's bad news since we can't make ANY money on him, but on the other hand it eases priorities. CB is the number 1 by miles, and we can take it easy when looking for a new GK for 2014-2015. I hope in the end it pays off to take this route.

At least this ends the transfer talk about Reina imo. We should still sign Ter Stegen, he is still young and he'd get time to accommodate to Barca. That would be a perfect step forward.

 

[XaviMessiGirl]

I'm not a Valdes "hater" but I'm not sure I like the idea of him staying next year. We already know there's no convincing him to stay, so why not try to make money off him? Though honestly, even with this press conference I'm not so sure this is over with yet.

 

[King Leo]

why can't we just sell him now and make money off him? because we can't afford to get a replacement with whatever we will have left this summer + money from the VV sale. This means we are getting a strong CB (I hope) and save for next year.

No good. Rosell and co. need to go.

 

[kollegah]

more money for a cb then, not that but, altough i rate vv as one of the worst keepers at top 30 clubs

 

[rafals]

But also he was asked if he'd reather leave now or next year, he then said something like that (translating from a polish site, sorry) : "There is still a year of my contract left to fulfill. We will find the best solution for the club"

 

[impeh]

Valdes: "My apologies for these months of silence. I'm aware I owe the fans an explanation about why I won't renew my contract."
Valdes: "Barça gave me everything, this has been my home for 20 years. But the pressure as goalkeeper here is huge.
Valdes: "Psychologically I'm exhausted. I feel that my cycle at the club ends in 2014. That's what I told the club. It is not a money issue."
Valdes: "It's an honour the club wants me to continue, but the decision is final. I think the club has enough time to look for a successor."
Valdes: "I will wear and defend this shirt and this crest with honour until the last day, as I have done since the first day."
Valdes: "I see myself playing in other leagues, looking for another motivation."
Valdes: "I don't go into tomorrow's game as if it could be my last game. That's not the feeling I have now.


So im guessing he'll stay another year and we'll sign a younger keeper (Ter Stegen i guess?). That said just because he wants to stay doesnt mean the club wont cash in on him.
