Taking a leaf out of Rooney's book, no doubt.He has hair now.

No one can say his stay here wasn't productive.

I know, it was a shit joke.He always had hair though, just shaved it regularly.
If there's any truth to what's been said on these pages about Valdes' behaviour (undermining coaches, refusing to play, etc.) then I think LVG has handled him perfectly.Another player mis handled by LvG.
1. I don't think we would allow him to leave to other PL clubs without a transfer fee of at least £5m and he would demand 100k+ salary which not a lot of clubs can afford on a GKHow is he still here ? I thought Clubs would jump at the chance to sign him. He would be an upgrade to Mignolet at Liverpool for sure.
But it's only van gaal that has complained of his attitude is it not ? And van Gaal always clashed with some players wherever he goes. I don't think we would ask for a big transfer fee anyways, but the salary point I get. But he was being linked to all sorts of mexican clubs earlier on. If they can afford him, how can't the big boys ?1.

2. Maybe they got wind of his behaviour through the grapevine
It seems he was having bad attitude towards everyone. There's a post in the previous page about it.But it's only van gaal that has complained of his attitude is it not ?

Because he's about to turn 34, has hardly played in the last two years, has been nothing but a headache for his current club, will demand big wages, and has never been a highly regarded keeper to begin with.How is he still here ? I thought Clubs would jump at the chance to sign him.
The wages I get, but it's not like teams can't afford that. He's better than most of the tripe in the big leagues.Because he's about to turn 34, has hardly played in the last two years, has been nothing but a headache for his current club, will demand big wages, and has never been a highly regarded keeper to begin with.
That's just wrong. Remember all the Casillas love in during the early, mid and late 2000s? Valdes, for me, reached a higher peak during Guardiola's years than Casillas ever did and Casillas was most certainly WC for a while. Valdes did start getting due recognition after their CL triumphs over us and he arguably had his best seasons around that time.Because he's about to turn 34, has hardly played in the last two years, has been nothing but a headache for his current club, will demand big wages, and has never been a highly regarded keeper to begin with.
Casillas was absolutely miles ahead of Valdes for me. The former was one of the best in the world at his peak while Valdes was an average keeper who happened to be at Barcelona when their outfield was making everyone else look like scrubs. They would have won those CLs with virtually anyone in goal and they effectively proved as much the year after he left when they played Bravo in the league and ter Stegen in the cups (neither great keepers) and still won the treble. Meanwhile Valdes, coming off his 'best seasons' and available on a free could only secure a move to the French league and last summer wasn't even wanted in Turkey.That's just wrong.

The 'he could only secure a move to the French league after his best season' thing is blatantly not true.Casillas was absolutely miles ahead of Valdes for me.

For me Valdes was always a tier below Casillas. Valdes was a good keeper but never top class. However he was the best keeper for Barca as he had the qualities they needed for their tiki taka style of play.That's just wrong.

Hope for Valdes sake it is true.Off on loan to Standard de Liège untill the end of the season according to several Belgian mediaProbably the biggest incoming transfer in Belgian football ever (if true).

i guess its more "if De gea leaves, bring in valdes"In other words, Romero is shit so if LvG does resign in the summer (reported in various media circles) than we have a good back up for De Gea
De Gea is going nowhere, Casillas will call every goalkeeper that Madrid targets and dissuade them from signing.i guess its more "if De gea leaves, bring in valdes"
maybe zidane will give a debut to Enzo or whichever of his sons play as a GKDe Gea is going nowhere, Casillas will call every goalkeeper that Madrid targets and dissuade them from signing.
That would be Luca, Enzo is the central midfieldermaybe zidane will give a debut to Enzo or whichever of his sons play as a GK![]()
No one cares about Fryers, though.Utd really shouldn't let him join Standard Liege after their part in the Zeki Fryers transfer a few years ago.
Not about him as a player, but that cost Utd a few millions.No one cares about Fryers, though.
More likely that his wages have been a huge stumbling block in shifting him.Tweet

I've not seen anything whatsoever to suggest we're paying him anything more than an absolute pittance (in footballing terms).More likely that his wages have been a huge stumbling block in shifting him.
If we're going to have to cover his wages one way or another we're better off having the option to call on him in an emergency than just pay him off and gift him to another club.
Enzo is the only one I know.That would be Luca, Enzo is the central midfielder![]()
I wouldnt be so sure. Look at how arsey LvG got with the press for asking perfectly justified questions about Rooney.It really must have been a huge row between him and van Gaal for him to have been completely isolated out like he was. An embarrassing situation for the club but Valdes must have done something quite significant to anger Louis so much. Him joining us has ended up to be a big waste of time for all involved, shame really as he would have been decent to have around as back up.
