Maybe Pinto should play more games, if that helped to take some pressure of from Valdes? Fresher body, fresher mind?

If Mr. Valdes loves the club so much, the first thing he can do is to not leave for free.

In the worst case, Barca could've used Valdes for a deal with a Goalkeeper that is pretty much the same value as him, and in the best case, Barce could get couple of millions from his sale. not only will this decision cost us a clean profit of 10-20 million Euros the next summer, but it will postpone the integration of the new goalkeeper (especialy if it's a young keeper). Thank you, Victor!

It's funny. the departure from Abidal, a foreign player that plays for the club for 6 years made me emotional and sad, while the departure from Valdes, a Barca home grown player that plays in the club for 20 years will pass me by like a summer breeze. great goalkeeper, small man.

Interesting comment indeed. I think Valdes will be missed, especially his long range passing. Emotionally, probably not.

Vilanova and Iniesta want him to continue? Why After all the spectacle this year? Goodbye Valdes, Ter Stegen will be here

Why the hell didn't he play arguably his last match today? wtf? There were stretches of time where even I hated VV a loot, but give the guy some credit. He had a decent amount of legendary matches for Barca. The guy deserves to go out with class....

He is staying 1 more season.

Not happy that he's staying. I think like Bojan pointed out a long time ago, Valdes realized there just aren't many clubs interested in him. This whole situation should have been better handled, and the fact that he'll leave for free while being a good keeper with a good 5 years left in him is bugging me.

If Valdes in the end stays, Barcelona will not sign Liverpool goalkeeper Reina this summer, but only Monchengladbach's Ter Stegen. [md]:)

That's up to the club. They can try to sell him this season if they want. If they want to keep him his contract expires and he can leave for free. I don't really see the issue. Valdes has never said he wants to force his way out this summer, he just said he won't renew his contract and wants to go to another culture. Nor has he said he that he'd refuse to leave this summer. The implication that could be either this summer or next, announcing early to give the club time to find a replacement.

Many people might not miss him, but I think he's done great for the club and he has performed when we needed him. In particular I remember the lead up to the Champions League final in Paris and he was in amazing form and then had a MOTM performance in the final.

A key reason for Valdes wanting to continue for another year is the World Cup in 2014. Playing at smaller club could affect ESP spot. [md]

:lol:

As if he has a chance of playing over Casillas.
