Yet Romero will still start against Liverpool.
This 'saga' just gets more and more bizarre.
Not one side is coming out of this well imo.

He looks like a different person with hair.
Yea give Johnstone a go

Looks like that Dutch psychopath who murdered women in Aruba.

Thought the second picture was Iker for a second.
A change in attitude. Good for him. He had an ACL injury and like Falcao we picked him up about a year after the injury. It takes 2 years to get back to proper form from an injury like that (something that Chelsea will definitely benefit from even though Falcao is passed it, just won't be as bad as he was here). Valdes is only 33. That's 29 in outfield player years. He's got plenty left. Train hard for a year and who knows, he might get a lucrative deal somewhere or a chance at United if De Gea leaves. He definitely won't get that if he sulks and blames everyone. Probably doesn't suck that 3 out of 4 keepers are Spanish speakers.
Then again, basically every player was picked. 21 players and the rest is 21 years or younger.

Extremely annoyed that he is still here.
Worse transfer than Bebe.. will end up costing us more money and has contributed less... and that was a tough thing to do.
IIRC, we're not paying him very much money at all because Monaco are still covering some of his wages.
Why would Monaco be paying Valdes' wages?
probably because of this
Ah, well that cheers me up, the fleecing twats.
Have you forgotten schmeichel and van der gouw?
Or even Courtois, Cech, Schwarzer which the renties had for a bit.
Leighton and sealey
We have a winner!
I really like him. Hope he becomes our #1 if DdG leaves.

He was only in the squad because it was against the rules not to include him.

This is one big mess..Should have just cancelled his contract.
Nope that would probably be Romero (should we continue playing him if De Gea doesn't sign)
Release him on a free transfer
So we only have 21 players aged over 21?
That surely sounds about right?
They should have just signed up 5 random caf members on £1 a year contracts, so they didn't have to name him in the squad.
Yeah, guess so. Having 3 or 4 regular starters under 21 and 3 or 4 more around the 1st team squad makes the 25 man limit a bit redundant.
Our treatment of Valdes borders on the ridiculous. If you believe Van Gaal then Valdes refused to play for the reserves. Is he the first player in the history of Man Utd to do that? We all know the answer is no. He's far, far better than Romero ever has been (or likely ever will be). Yet he's being exiled despite it being damaging to the team. Totally crazy.
He was signed as a reserve keeper yet he refused to play for the reserves...
Sooner he is out the club the better.

Who else?
It's all a bit silly. LVG won't budge and neither will Valdes. Are we actually paying him to plant his arse on a seat that could easily be taken up but one of our paying "customers" as the Glazers are pleased to call us? If the differences really are irreconcilable, cancel his contract, write him a cheque, and wave him goodbye.
I heard about that. But refusing to play from being in a funk (and afterward acknowledging that you were stupid and wrong and regret it) is a bit different from feeling so entitled--without having contributed anything to the club--that you feel you should be exempt from playing for the reserves in principle and maintaining that position, which is what Valdes is still claiming, as far as I know.
How come no other club wants Valdes? His agent has been shopping him around since early July at least. One, possibly two deals with Turkish clubs fell apart over personal terms (in one case the club agreed to terms then tried to change them at the last minute). Seems somebody should want him for the very small transfer fee that would be involved. Even a loan should have been possible but nobody seemed interested.
What about Big Roy Carroll, Howard and Foster?
It's probably his wage demands.
Spot the odd man out?
Lindegaard. He isn't Spanish.
Our version of Theon Greyjoy.
