A bit overdramatic don't you think? Are you seriously telling me DDG is going to think he is not the #1 keeper for us if he doesn't start against Cambridge United, again Cambridge United. He has literally started even game so far this season. There is no thinking here. He has played over 150 games for us in a little over 3 years. He knows it, we know it that he is the future. Its up to him to make up his mind and stay. The fans love him and the whole world is raving about him. Do you honestly think LVG is going to drop him?
I'm not saying LVG is dropping him for Valdes, I'm saying he is our #1 but since Valdes has come if I was in that position id think the club is preparing for if I leave. Its made his decision easier IMO that's all. Also all these reports about a swap deal with Bale, I know it's just speculation but it must be unsettling. First Valdes then Bale and you now what the reports will be if Valdes starts.... Just not liking the situation at the minute!
I'm happy now...
Actually the rumours of De Gea leaving started well BEFORE Valdes was signed.
That's my point, it just adds fuel to the fire....
No you said FIRST VALDES, so no Valdes was not first.
Who's saying he will leave on rumours? I'm saying it's unsettling when all these stories emerge and then the rumoured replacement starts!
No he was on the bench. LVG knew that Cambridge would bombard us with long balls into the box and it would be their main means of attack. Throwing Valdes in against a team like Cambridge would not have been the best idea considering their approach.I was looking forward to watching him play and was surprised he didn't start. Any reason why? He hasn't picked up an injury already has he...
Yeah, it was bad enough for De Gea but he handled it very well. I don't think Valdes would of enjoyed that on a cold night
Get use to it, he is prone to many mistakes he is average at best as you will find when he starts to get games for us.
OK, it's not so bad as I first thought.
He was a great keeper, but even at his best he was prone to mental feckups.
Hes a good keeper, but I have to disagree with that part tbh
I'd have him at top 10, and probably at his best form top 7 at points in his career which would out him on the border of one of the best, but obviously that's my opinion. I think I rated him higher at Barca than a lot of people did.
I agree, but they got quite rare towards his peak. But you'd expect that anyway. I think the early part of his career always stuck with him in the same way it took 3 years for England to realise DDG didn't actually have problems with shots from distance.
Great. Thanks for sharing.

I'm still in shock Valdes, Di Maria and Falcao are at United.
He must have heard that Joyce was going to pick Anderson.
Indeed and next summer it may even get much more insane if at least 50% of rumors/news are true.
No doubt Valdes was amongst the best without ever being the best but he was up there in good company for most of his career. He was also very good last season and sort of made it known that he isn't quite done as a top keeper. That being said he's been out of action for almost a year now with a serious injury. We are yet to see how this has affected his game. Hope he does well.
Yes he was.
oh ok then. Serious revisionism on the caf of late.
