You need to start being more vocal about De Gea leaving, with your track record he'll get special dispensation to sign 15 year deal.Think its fair to say I was wrong about Valdes being our new #1

Yes, I've seen that. Not seen that much of Romero to judge whether or not he'd be good for us though.
Obviously seen Begovic many times and think he's a quality keeper, perhaps even as our number 1.
where's this come from?
Bloody hell. Timing is a bit odd, but the philosophy uber alles.
He played only one/two times for the U21 if I'm not wrong
Victor Valdez is the new Neil Webb.
Easy come, easy goes with backup keepers sometimes. We once had Tony Coton for six months and I don't think he played one minute.
Yeah I understand this, I just find it amusing we sign a player with a name as big as Valdes and now this happened. In a few years we'll probably have forgotten we had a world cup winning, 3x champions league winning keeper play for us.
Edit:
This is pretty much what I mean, except with a bigger name. I had forgotten Tony Coton played for us. Or that other Spanish keeper who made a really good save for us once in some dead rubber CL group game about a decade ago
Yet we will still make money out of this deal because he is leaving for sure this summer.
Brutal. Like his honesty though.
Oh yeah. From that perspective it is kind of mental. Victor Valdes ffs.
What an idiot. Even if he was only earning £20k a week he'd have had £500k off us for a few minutes against Arsenal and a dead rubber. We've spent a fortune this summer and De Gea is still likely to go, so he probably wasn't far from a shot at a first team place. IDIOT.
Anyway, Lindegaard isn't good. If he's our second choice I'm concerned, and if he's starting games our season is over before it's begun.

Did not see this coming.
Based on what can I ask? Lindegaard's last first team against Newcastle under Moyes he was solid enough and made some good saves.
This philosophy shit is so fecking tiresome.
Was not expecting this, brutally honest by LVG. Anyone any idea what reserve game is in question? I mean he played a few so it's a weird one for sure.
Thought he might be staying with DDG uncertainty but if he's refused to play for the club at any level I'm glad Van Gaal is rightfully not happy.

I'm surprised other people are surprised.
It was obvious that something was going on after he was left out the tour squad. People scouring that picture looking for clues that he was too injured to travel were baffling the hell out of me when it was captioned by him saying that he had just finished a hard training session.

Sounds like LVG is incredibly angry and disappointed with him. And I don't blame him
I'm with you.
Lindergaard is good enough as second choice.
feck off Valdes. Lost all my respect for the man.
Not good enough and with De Gea still hanging on a thread, we cannot give anyone else a decent chance to take the no.1 spot.. He'll do just fine in a UCL team somewhere else..
I've got a large 'V' tattoo on my stomach.
Guess I'll have to put 'Come and get it' above and pretend that's what I always meant.
To be honest I am slightly relieved - wasnt convinced that Valdes would be a good choice for #1 if/when De Gea left.
What we should do now is what we already should have been doing, and that is buying a promising young keeper like Cillesen who can potentially compete with De Gea and take over from him when he goes to Spain (assuming that he stays, which I realise isnt a safe assumption).

It's not really the philosophy, he wants players to regain form by playing football, and the u21 is the easiest way to do it, a player who refuses to follow the protocol can't stay in the team.

Completely agree with him, LVG brought him here because of their past relationship and Valdes pretty much used him.
I wouldn't want him part of my team either.

I was expect Valdes to be No1 next season.
But completely agree with LVG and his reasons for dumping him.

It's very unprofessional really and having worked with LvG before, Valdes must have known what was coming.
Now the Cillisen/Romero links start to make sense, we are in the market for a 2nd choice GK. It would make some sense now to keep De Gea for this season, even if he goes for free next. Swapping both GKs is yet another risk
Actually i agree with both here. He is probably throwing him under the bus because he isn't good enough to be number 1 as per his estimation and wants to leave anyway than be number 2 even if De Gea leaves.
Shame it's ended for him like this, but no question I said from the start he could not replace DDG, and it's ended that way of what we have heard
What an ungrateful idiot Valdés.
Good riddance!! Brilliant from LVG, he is a nutter! Hope we get Oblak now
Just as well we weren't expecting to get much of a transfer fee for him.
The problem here is that Van gaal is creating a team, he can't afford to let a player act as if he was above the rules, even less when it's a veteran who is supposed to be an example.
He was on a free and probably low-ish wages. Not much lost.
