1 - Victor Valdes

[AvocadoCake]

This is really frustrating, he does the right thing by announcing he'll leave early so we can get a good replacement then undoes all that and costs the club 10-15m. Meanwhile you had Ter Stegen learning the language for a good 6 months, and all of next season we'll play him with that in mind?

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.

Problem is ,Pinto is also leaving in 2014 ,it will be tough to replace 2 GKs in the same summer tbh

I remember someone said we will buy another keeper, even if Valdes stays

 

[darthvader7888]

He said he's not planning on leaving this summer, but that doesn't mean the club won't decide to cash in on him. And tbh, I hope we do and get ter Stegen.

Sounds like it's still a question of a standoff between club & player, IMO...I continue to think the club will look to move him and that will be expedited if they bring in a legitimate heir like Ter Stegen which won't guarantee Victor of sharting that much...and going into a WC year and free agency won't help his prospects.

Strange time at the club, far more subterfuge on display than when Laporta was running things

 

[Butaan4barca]

bad news no money, good news = no reina, plus we can buy a young keeper like ster or curtosis and feel safe about it as we will have v.v on the bench for them.

 

[Stric]

This is just getting better every day! If he leaves in 2014, that'll mean he announced his departure 18 months before actually leaving. What a f*cking attention whore. Plus, we won't make any money on him and we'll still have to buy a keeper. The next time I see him wear the captain's armband, I'm gonna puke.

I don't like how he managed all of this. Very poorly profesional. He clearly has been detrimental to the club.

I always respected VV and though he is one of best GK and IMO he was the best for our team
with his qualities… but over last season and this he was a suspect of dropping form Add to it
the manner his agent and dad started $hit about him not renewing his contract at mid season
without him coming and clearing things out was one of the disgusting things that affected the team
harmony.

I would like to never see him again next season but who we are kidding no one is dumb enough to
give him the wages that Laporta gave him it’s all about the $$$

He's a lousy keeper. The only reason he won the Zamora when he did was because of the defense, not him at all.

he saved our asses many times but yes everyone here knows the boy who never wanted to be a goalkeeper

 

[SwiftGuyver]

I'm fine with VV staying for 1 last season. It means we can spend more on a CB or 2 this summer and hopefully get ter Stegen next summer. We wouldn't have got much for him anyway...

That's what he said when he first announced it. He said he was telling the club so that they had 18 months to work with to find a replacement.

 

[Povikas]

Why are you bashing them for not cashing in on him? Maybe there aren't any club that is currently interested in paying 10+mil for him, when they can get him next year for free?

And I respect Valdes utmost and his decision. He has been wonderful for us and will be for his next club.

 

[Chainsaw]

LOL! Thx for trolling us all Valdes.

Have a nice day!
