He was always a loner in Barcelona too.

Not sure about that ,this was said during his last 2 years here but earlier during Rijkaard and early Pep years he was considered an important dressing room guy and it was said that this was one of the main reasons he was voted into team Captains

His case will always be a mystery. It's like he distanced himself not only from the club, but his (former) team mates too.

There is no mystery at all, Victor Valdes thought he was going to get filthy rich when he made the deal with Monaco, Barsa offered him 8,5 clean but he cared only about the $$$ and the 60 million he was going to get at Monaco, this coming from his own entourage. So he rejected the 8,5x4 for 34 million clean Barcelona offered him because Monacos 60 was much more $$$, of cause he did a Valdes meaning FUBARING himself when rejecting Barcelonas last offer which came AFTER he injured himself and later being dumped by Monaco ending up with no club and no $$$. Now he is being dumped by United after AGAIN rejecting an offer from Valencia because he thought he was going to replace De Gea :lol:

So Again, Valdes finds himself without a club because he is so thickheaded, well maybe Espanyol will offer him a contract, they need a keeper now that Casilla is going away, but maybe his ego is to big for him to accept earning less than a tenth of what he aspired to when ditching Barcelona for Monaco :facepalm:

No I am not hating on Valdes, I'm just telling what actually transpired.

¡Gr?*cies Xavi!
He is gone. Apparently, he didn't agree with LvG's philosophy, such as playing in their reserves/youth team to maintain match rhythm.

Yep he is gone from United. Refused to play in the u21's to get match fitness and stuff so he fell out with Louis. He played him in the last game to put him in the shop window.

What a shame.

Van Gaal destroyed him in the press conference. Guess the end of Valdes's top flight football career.

He completely ruined himself with his recent decisions.

There will always be teams willing to give him the chance IMO,there is actually a lot of talking about him joining Valencia and they have one of the best projects in Spain IMO

Makes sense for Valdes to go to Valencia Considering Diego alves is most likely out for a extended period of time and it would allow Valdes to play off the bat.

Wouldn't MLS teams be interested in him too? I mean, if he need to make some big bucks(there were some reports that he had financial problems) or want to do so then won't he be able to make quite a lot there too?

So it's not like no one will pick him up. As already said above, Valencia have been interested in him. He rejected their first offer a couple of weeks ago though.

LvG on Valdes: "An example of not following our philosophy for example is last season he refused to play in the second team."

LvG: "Valdes isn't here cause he doesn't follow our philosophy, when you're not following the principles of our philosophy then you're out!"

This.
