Wouldn't be so sure. Remember that young players improve with time, consequently gaining value. I'm not sure if having a one-year shorter contract will outweigh the gains in value from improvement. You never know, by next summer another rich club may want to sign ter Stegen too and it may not be easy to outbid them.
1 - Victor Valdes
- Thread starter M.L. King
- Start date

Why is that? I think otherwise. He can be much more expensive if he keeps playing at a high level.

I say ship him out and cash in. A player that doesn't want to be here anymore and/or is mentally drained is not fit to play for FC Barcelona. We need hungry players who want to win. Selling him now would be the best option.

Why on earth did Barça accept his request to stay another season? Why would anyone accept that? We will not get anything in return next season, how stupid is that.

Because it means that we can spend what's left in the coffers on CB(s); we can buy a GK next year!

Sell Valdes for 15M buy another GK for 15M. Problem solved. Come on, there's absolutely no rational explanation to allow him to stay at the club for one more season.

Valdes: "More than passing, Barça's keeper has to be the best in the world in one-on-one. You have 25-30 of them a season, it's decisive..."
Thank you Valdes for killing this myth of a passing gk, we need a guy that can save goals.

pretty sure his contract is until 2015.

Not having enough money to buy a great GK and a world class CB (and perhaps an up-and-coming, young CB) would be one rational explanation.

For who? For you? I'm sure you'll manage.
If you think that this club is capable of selling Valdes for 15M after all the deals they done in the last 2 years, then you're not rational. I'm sure that we would pay more for Reina than we would get for Valdes..

He can't be your No 1 next season. It's clear he's lost it between the fucking ears.

Yeah, it is indeed rational not to sell a goalkeeper for 15M when you got the chance and watch him leave for nothing after the upcoming season. You're absolutely right. It's not like Ter Stegen is way more worth than what we'd get for Valdes if they would sell him this summer. There would still be enough money to buy a world class CB.

The money we get for Valdes should pay for most of Ter Stegen's fee...

Wow..
What dad? VV said today that he wanted to clear everything together with the club, but then Zubi continued to lie about his contract renewal so VV decided to make that statement. So again, there's no need for lies and name calling..I think that's the least a so called cule could do these days.
So if no one is dumb enough as our club why do you think that he's leaving? Is VV even more dumb?
Finally someone with some common sense..
Sometimes I think that having Gaspart for a few years again wouldn't be so bad if it would meen that we would get rid of these glory hunting fans..but then I remember that the same things were said about Pep the first time he left, so I guess that they are the true cules and we're the fake ones.

tbh. It's reached a level where I no longer even take what players of this club say in press conferences as truth or what they actually think. Wouldn't put it past Rosell & co to make him say he wants to stay so the situation doesn't look as dire.
