Just wait and see. If Barca's 100-150m investment does not end up getting enough minutes to prove himself a failure or a success in 2018-2019, then people will know who to shit on.

Even just the "I don’t know if there’s an option or not [for him to leave]. But I am the coach and I continue to count on him. I am not thinking players could leave." doesn't sound too bad to me!
It could very well have gone something like this?
Q: Is there an option that Dembele is leaving?
A: I don't know.. I am the coach and I count on him!

He could have outright denied even the possibility of Dembele leaving like Mourinho did with Pogba and Pep did with Raheem Sterling recently.
Obviously that comment doesn't look bad, but the small things you know. Don't even give the press a chance to pounce on it, just deny it completely if you really trust him and want him to stay. Valverde's ambiguity is annoying at times and is the sort of stuff the press use to break down the harmony of the dressing room.

Especially when it comes to the Spanish/Catalan press. If you even sound or phrase an answer that makes sound like things aren't great they will be all over that shit.
Heck in the same press conference one reporter asked him about what about what he said in requesting more players during the American tour Valverde had to come out and say he didn't mean it that way and he's fine with the squad.
Hell it was the same with the Malcom quotes when he said he wasn't his signing and wasn't told about it. But again he came out and had to clarify his words during another press conference pretty much saying they took it out of context and had to clarify what he meant.
Valverde needs to be careful in what he says. Lucho handled the press pretty well because he didn't give a fuck, but with Valverde he isn't someone like Lucho in that regard.

IMHO Valverde’s biggest problem is his lack of personality and communication skills. Either he doesn’t say anything or he does it in a wrong way. He should try to imrove his skills, it would help him and our club a lot. You really need to know how to communicate with young players, with them it’s not just about footballing skills but also about improving their self confidence and footbaling IQ. You can’t talk in the same way with 30y old Vidal and 18y old Miranda, you must be able to approach them differently and try to develop them. As a manager you also have to be able to protect them from press, supporters and sometimes even from their immature behavior.
His statement is wrong in every possible way. He basically said “I would like for him to stay but if he leaves life goes on” while he should have said: “He isn't going anywhere, he is a fantastic talent and I expect a lot from him this year”. No one can tell me that statement like this one wouldn’t raise his confidence.
Some of you were comparing his way of coaching with the one from Mourinho. Sorry guys but they aren’t even simmilar, Mou has a big fucking personality while Valverde has none.

Big personality yet alienates his two best players. (or at least in Martial a player with the potential to be so.) I'm not a fan of Valverde but him over Mourinho all day long.

Everyone in the photo appear focused, And serious, Yet he’s the only one in here wearing headphones and listening to music, And doesn’t seem to take today’s match seriously.
It seems he doesn’t give a sh** anymore and his mind isn’t with our club, These “Lack of discipline” rumors starting to seem true.

Probably also carries drugs in that bag.

Also was the hat necessary? I mean it shows a total lack of seriousness. Dress accordingly. I think he's showing he's just not up to the challenge of a club of this standard.
