    Means nothing though in relation to De Gea leaving and what time frame that may or may not be. Of course he joins the club as no 2 goal keeper with De Gea still there.

    Having said that I fully expect De Gea to be still with Utd next season.
    Great to see LVG come out publicly and back DDG as No.1 though - no doubts in his or anyone's mind about it.

    Valdes saying all the right things on MUTV..

    LVG "the most important manager in my career" ... DDG is "at this moment the best keeper in the world" .. " I am here to help everyone, I am apart of the team - I am not a problem"

    .. At Utd to "win trophy's, it's like a drug to win" .. "Theatre of Dreams important in world football" .. "Manchester is cold and always rains" :)

    Valdes says De Gea is currently best goalkeeper in the world.
    Victor says he is not a problem, I presume this is a reference to false rumours he was to replace DDG.

    Have to say as I watch the interview on MUTV, he comes across as a really nice person.

    Yeah seems genuinely happy to be joining United and LVG seems like a father figure for him.. It's definately LVG who has him staying as No.2.

    Seems like a sound old skin!

    So we gonna sell that other keeper now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,608 ✭✭✭✭yabadabado


    .

    Liverpool had many false dawns between 1990 and now including a few years when they probably had the best eleven players but not the depth in squad or a good enough Manager to secure a win. There is every chance Utd could go through the same.

    :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,207 ✭✭✭miralize


    Always liked Valdes, excellent shot stopper and ball distribution. Only downside was loss of focus, but when Barcelona's outfield players have 75%+ possession you can hardly blame him for being restless. Thats not going to be an issue with United's defence :P (i kid).

    Gutted when he announced he wasn't signing a new contract & then the injury. Good luck to him, hope he does well for you!

    Varane is the best young centre-back in the world, you've over egged your argument bringing him into it.

    One of the best yea probably have marquinos up there with him and we are man utd, players of Michael Keane and paddy mcnairs ilk won't make the grade at United simple not good enough.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,182 ✭✭✭KH25


    Delaney is saying we'll go for Varane in the summer.

    And again your name checking of the best tallent in the world at the same age just weakens your argument. It makes it look like you don't know how developing young players works.

    Victor valdes is an odd signing. Has it been revealed how much we are going to pay him to sit on the bench? Another player signed that we don't need.

    Also, hope this doesn't unsettle De Gea.

    I think signing Valdes is good business for a couple of reasons.

    He is Spanish and will know De Gea well and the should work well together.
    He is a top class goalkeeper and should De Gea miss games through injury or suspension I would much rather have Valdes than Lindergaard.
    Finally it will piss the scousers off as they need a keeper and they thought Valdes was going to them a couple of months back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 35,306 ✭✭✭✭The_Kew_Tour


    I'm happy to sign Valdes. Nothing to lose and he brings experience.

    Another CL winner too with Juan Mata and Di Maria from past 4 years.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,320 ✭✭✭v3ttel


    I like how Van Gaal clearly stated that Valdes will be second choice keeper, but I will not rest easily until De Gea signs a new contract.

    Like when Suarez signed a new contract at Liverpool around this time last year....

    Valdes coming in means DDG is on his way. It's only a matter of when tbh.

    So what you're saying is DDG might leave.. at some time.

    Well, slow clap for you.
