1 - Victor Valdes

[ini4ever]

i miss you man
he shouldn't have left us that way

 

[Drexl]

Late, but the most sincere birthday wishes to you, Victor the Great!
Run away from that joke club and replace over-rated Casillas in Spain's goal.
Miss you, Legend.

 

[Barcaman]

All the best to Valdes. And thank you for the great Barca memories

 

[Galning]

News in Belgium saying he has signed for Standard de Liege on loan with United paying full wages.

 

[Falcao]

HLN are saying they'll be partially paying his wages. Goodbye VV.

 

[Galning]

Loan until the end of the season to Standard confirmed.

 

[Neymessi]

Has he ever revealed why he decided to leave barca?

Has he ever revealed why he decided to leave barca?

Because of his gambling debts he needed a big raise and Monaco was going to give him that until he broke his leg.

 

[Barcaman]

Gambling debts?

 

[Galning]

Has he ever revealed why he decided to leave barca?

Most people guess it's because of Rosell. Also kicking out a goalkeeper coach without consulting him or something, can't remember his name. [MENTION=20103]Flavia[/MENTION] probably can.

 

[El Flaco]

Loan until the end of the season to Standard confirmed.

I can only wish him best.

 

[Richard.H]

Not sure why, but I feel kinda sorry for him. He isn't a bad GK, but he isn't exactly a good one either. I think he deserves a better club. He would be perfect in La Liga but it seems like most La Liga sides have their staple GK's now.


Tough luck and I wish him the best for his career. He was a key player in the Pep era.

 

[Flavia]

Most people guess it's because of Rosell. Also kicking out a goalkeeper coach without consulting him or something, can't remember his name. [MENTION=20103]Flavia[/MENTION] probably can.

Forgot his name. I remember VV had money problems because of his family doing bad business in real state.

 

[KingMessi]

Wasn't Unzue one of VV's goalkeeping coaches?

 

[Xtroverto]

Has he ever revealed why he decided to leave barca?

No, he has never revealed it, not even to his own family. These are my conclusions based on inside information coming from his own family.


Victor Valdes 4 main reasons for leaving Barcelona in order of importance

1. Ginés Carvajal talking him into doing it.
2. Greed (60 million is more than the 36 or 34 he was going to get from Barcelona)
3. Resentment towards his own family (Father and Brother) for mis managing his wealth ultimately indebting him (this is why he sold his mansion in Gava to a Ukranian in 2014)
4. The guy is a head case, and most probably we have not seen the last of his antics (He made a fool of himself at United)

Nr 4 maybe should go nr 1, Victor Valdes really is a head case, it runs in his family and it is probably inherited, he comes from a family with generations of functional "crazies", in fact his brother works as a psychologist and has a private clinic financed by Victor. I am convinced he really lost the plot when Iniesta got a salary raise ahead of him even though he was a senior player with more seasons and matches played than Iniesta, this became a ghost he could not get rid of, combined with all the other shit going on in his life, breaking up with his family after they screwed his savings and losing his personal trainer of 7 years (Juan Carlos Unzue). It made it inevitable he would blame the club and Zubi even though all they did was standard practice.
