He didnt make his dealings and reasons with RVP public, he kept them private. Similar with Hernandez, he was asked about both
There's clearly a very good reason why he wasn't private about whats going on with Valdes
I'm too lazy/brain-dead to do it but has anyone else thought back to the U-21 games last season and come up with specific games that Valdes could/should have played but didn't? They played few enough games and he did feature in some of them.
Yup, his U-21 performances were quite inconsistent, and even though he had a blinder against Hull, he was still quite weak in the air and couldn't handle the physicality of the Premier League.
Although I get what Luckhurst mean why couldnt he have wrote a normal tweet. Instead he wrote one which sounds like bantu english.
Yeah and I think your theory above is a good one. Perhaps we want Valdes out and he's dicking us about in the search for a new club?
Right. In the presser he mentioned that he was disappointed in him especially as they've worked together before, and that Valdes should know his philosophy/standards.
There is none.
I think Van Gaal is right....We have a massive squad and he's going to have a lot of established stars that he is going to have to ask to play for the U21's to keep them fit such as Fellaini, Jones, Shaw, Hernandez etc ...He's laying down the law
Wasn't there a report that Valdes didn't want to leave. He might have presumed he was going to replace DDG and LvG has different ideas. If there has been attitude problems then we might be doing this as a last resort to force him out.
It kind of strengthens our hand with the De Gea thing as well. Madrid will have to give us a massive incentive to part with him now as we have no back up in place.
Because there wasn't any issue with rvp beyond him not being a major part of the plan. I don't think there are issues between rvp and Lvg. As for Chicharito he said he will come back to us meaning I reckon he is in Lvg s plans for this season
Scores don't mean anything. It is just there for one match because maybe it was there at source from where Valdes got those images. He basically wants to say that he played u21 and with the 4th pic he wants to show he was happy doing it.
Oh cheers. I thought the 2-1 had some significance. To be fair he played with Anderson in the same team. That is a very big sacrifice
At least when Valdes goes people can stop spelling his name VALDEZ, Been my pet hate on here for months. Not sure how and why you would put Z on the end rather than S.
Fixed.
Thank god he's going I still maintain he's a bang average keeper. Laughable people actually wanted him as number 1 if de gea left. Good riddance.
Now this is getting ugly. Embarrassing for the club that it's happening in public.
I wonder whether part of this is us clearing the way for a top class keeper to come in without weakening our hand in the De Gea negotiations. The last thing we want to do is bring one in after De Gea is sold. We'd struggle to get Shay Given for less than £30m in that scenario.
If his saying he played in the U21's then maybe he was expecting De Gea to leave and be 1st choice BUT Dave is now staying and Victor doesn't want to be 2nd fiddle...
I'm just dreaming here lads!
I'm just dreaming here lads!
when you found no lead, or multiple leads headed to different outcomes, just follow the money
Who would you like to come in then, who is attainable? There aren't many great keepers out there at the moment.
Lindegaard says hi.
Our rivals seem to have quality back ups
Chelsea - Begovic
Madrid - Casilla
Bayern - Ulreich
Arsenal - Ospina,Szczez what's his face
Barca - Bravo
Heck even Spurs have Vorm... I hope we have a solid replacement for Valdes, we are in danger of signing a 2nd string GK to replace our World Class GK and signing a 3rd string GK to replace our 2nd string GK.

Except Ospina and Bravo maybe, I will take Lindegaard over others. So, yeah, we do have a backup and a solid one.
Unless we get the targets we want, as he said about the "process". We get who we want, we will let him go as LVG didnt fancy him
The point is LVG didnt bring Valdes' situation into the public for no reason. He did it because unlike RVP, Hernandez and whoever else, Valdes is causing a problem and needs a shove out the door
We had 7 U21 games after Valdes' last appearance for the U21s and he didn't play in any of them.
I have no problem with what Van Gaal said. After watching the press conference it wasn't that ruthless just very honest. He clearly mentioned that he feels disappointed in Valdes and it's understandable.
Valdes had been out for a long time with that knee injury and Van Gaal gave him a chance to train at United and later offered him a new contract. He obviously understood that he was backup to De Gea and for a keeper that had been out that long it would make sense for him to get game time for the U21s.
And that's in your opinion right?
The publicity (word?) of the situation does slightly concern me. I will trust that LVG knows what he is doing in that regard - but Valdes tweeted about a lack of respect shown by LVG and to be honest, I am inclined to agree.
My post will of course be in my opinion unless I am quoting someone else, right?
What about the lack of respect in not playing for the U21s by a manager who helped rehabilitate him from injury?
But are we really convinced that is the case? Valdes struck me as a professional and whatever his dealings with LVG were, they were behind closed doors. Hanging out dirty laundry in public is rarely a good move.
Your post suggested it was common knowledge, but never mind never mind just checking.
How did Valdes fair in the reserve games? And did LVG also make Butt play for the reserves at Bayern Munich?
He's played for the u21s last season so he's clearly not trying to act like some big shot who thinks he's above the team.
Valdes didn't say "I never refused to play in the U21 games", he only stated that he played in three of them. That's a lot of games to potentially have refused to play in. I'm inclined to take LVG for his word, he has no reason to do this if it's a lie.
