1 - Victor Valdes

[Barcaman]

Am I the only one who was baffled at Cesc taking the blame for the corner goal? Any cross that's close to 5 meter line should be cleared by goalkeeper.

While Cesc was kind lost and could have done better, I do agree, it was at least 90% Valdés on that one...

Of course epl salaries are not small, but the money monaco is rumored to have offered him is a lot bigger than epl salaries. Weird that everything needs to be broken down, so it's not "misunderstood" here.

Both failed. Cesc should've dealt with it but Valdes should've either cleared it or stood his ground. Now he got caught in the middle.

With the amount of short players the keeper´s role is even more important. Valdés must be fearless in crossings not going and then turn back. lol. He´s not very good in those crossings. He´s great in the goal line though.

And in EPL the salaries are small? If he would only want money he would go to Qatar, but if he will chose Monaco he will have money and a new project.

Sorry, but not even PSG can match Monacos 60 million in the pocket offer to Valdés. To do that they would have to splurge 60x4 (75% tax) 240 million euros. And I doubt any club in England can or will match Monacos offer, if he goes to City which seems to be the alternative to Monaco he will earn less, way less.

Barcelona's Víctor Valdés: fans are chanting his name but it is too late
The fans have begged him not to go, but the goalkeeper's mind is made up – and a move to England might just appeal as the Champions League second leg against Manchester City looms

 

[Howes]

fantastic interview with Valdes in the Guardian today
"a year in Barcelona feels like 2"
http://www.theguardian.com/football...ictor-valdes-champions-league-manchester-city

appears he hasn't chosen who he'll play for next season either,

 

[barcanuck]

He is waiting to see if Monaco still remain a buyer next year there is rumors their owner isn't too content with keeping the project

Nobody talking about the save ?

 

[evilhita666]

That save was immense! I swear I was ready to see the ball go in and bury my face in my hands... But there he was! Amazing save!

A goal right there could've changed everything. Thank you, Valdes!

 

[eye-switcher]
