He was cut, he isn't apart of the team. Why would he be allowed to act like a member of the team? It isn't van Gaal's fault Valdes fecked around all summer and didn't find himself a new club.

Then he should be released. We're still paying him to be fourth choice keeper. It's so pathetic of Van Gaal. All this over not wanting to play in the reserves when we all know that if precious Wayne refused to do the same, Louis would still be up his arse. It's so clear it's one rule for one and one for another. Removing his locker, excluding him and making him eat away from the other players, ffs. It's more like school rather than a football club.

If Rooney refused to play he'd get the same treatment.

I disagree. This is a player who stinks the place out week in week out and his place is never under scrutiny. A player who helps pick the team. And the captain must always play, don't forget.
 
It's the footballing version of 'The Terminal' really.

For what? He is a nothing, a nobody, he isn't a part of the team. The tea lady doesn't get a locker and to eat lunch with the team either. He was told to get fecked and he didn't, not van Gaal's fault. Who gives a feck if he is on the pay-roll? So because he gets paid he can do what he wants and face no consequences? No, I'm not having that and neither is van Gaal.

I thought we were a club with a bit more class than that, fair enough we done the classy thing and let him train with us but dont embaress the guy in the process
 
Ballague has used an incredible amout of words to say:

Valdes didnt want to play for the reserves anymore, he fluffed his chance with the first team and now LVG is pissed off at him.
 
How the clubs legal eagles haven't found some sort of breach in his contract and terminated it with immediate effect is bananas! LVG happy to pour money down the drain over stubborn arrogance, the entire Valdes situation is nuts... Utd's dirty little secret. Let's not forget, we lost Pogba over wages & now the board are happy to fund Valdes all the way to the ostracised bank.
Something seriously questionable going on there!

No we didn't.
 
Still can't believe that Victor fecking Valdes has gone from playing in the greatest Barcelona side ever to being 4th choice at United in the space of two years. It's not like he's old either, he still has at least 4-5 years left at the highest level. Insane.

Nothing insane about it. He had a serious injury in the meantime and missed a lot of football.
 
Have to wonder what some of you would have done when Scholes refused to play against Arsenal. I'm guessing he would have been ostracised as well as fined and sold because refusing to play for the first team is worse than dodging the U21's.
 
I keep hearing about the supposed high wages he is on.

Not disputing it, but have just heard different versions of it.

- Monaco was/is paying a portion of his wages or all of it?
- but then again, I read the player is currently in legal proceedings against Monaco, so I doubt they're currently paying/subsidizing his wage with us.

It's truly bonkers if we are paying him anywhere close to 100k per week though.
 
‘It is a shame what has happened with him as he is a great goalkeeper,’ Mata, 27, told Spanish news.

‘He wants to compete and has proved himself as a goalkeeper. I don’t know what happened between him and Van Gaal, that is something only they can say.’

It does seem very strange this.. It makes VG look bad no matter what way you look at it, he should have got rid or forgiven.

He isn't a nobody though, not sure why people say this. Before he even moved to us he had achieved more than most keepers ever will.

He is a nobody at United. Even McNair has been at United more than him. He has achieved a lot but he was in a bad position before we offered him rehabilitation and a chance for revival. The least he could do is respect the manager and listen to him even if he doesn't like it. It's called professionalism.

its one thing that no one has mentioned, but for all his greatness only besiktas showed any real interest in him ....he's a waste of space here, and we should probably cancel his contract.

Probably been Falcao'ed after his injury.

They won a treble after he left..wit Ter Stegen who is hardly the greatest keeper...Barca had three of the greatest players of all time..with or without Valdes they were winning those trophies..He is honestly a waste of space here, and hardly anyone has kicked a fuss about it..even the media do not seem to care.

How are his trophies that he's achieved thanks to playing in probably the greatest team there was now, after a serious injury in a club where he literally is a nobody? Nobody gives a shit what he's achieved at Barcelona if he's acting like a bitch.

It's amazing how we didn't get rid of him yet.

Winning trophies isn't a proof that you are good. As others said, he wasn't the reason you won those trophies. No one is saying he isn't a good keeper but he is rated very highly only by barca fans.

There is a basic etiquette that you follow when you are in a new club, especially when even after a serious injury he gave you a chance at one of the biggest clubs to prove yourselves . You do what the manager says but he didn't want to play u-21 games for match practice and then blamed rustiness for his mistakes. he has only himself to blame in this. Look at falcao. Even though he wasn't successful I don't think anyone can criticise him for not being a team player. Played often in reserve games, was on the bench behind lesser known players. Yet he didn't create any problem in 9 months, didn't moan that someone like him is playing reserve games.

So you destroy his career? Insult him, belittle him, treat him like a non-entity? Stoop to sheer vehemence to prove a point?
He gets princely wages while being humiliated everyday. If we don't need him, we shouldn't continue to pay him.
Just terminate his contract with a payout or whatever. Please, don't blemish the class of the club with such cheap behaviour in the name of discipline.
 
As a huge LVG supporter and believer he needs to sort this out and treat VV with decency. He may be a disobedient unprofessional wayward egocentric prat. Probably is. But the manager needs to man manage and not act like a bully. Not good for the team or the player

Destroying his career is something he did himself. We were willing to let him go on a free to a club abroad since July. Which is a fair deal considering he has a year left. He is unwilling to reduce his wages and wants to stay in PL. he chose not to Goto the likes of Valencia or besiktas for whatever reason and it's not like we chose not to sell. If we have to cancel his contract we would effectively have to pay him close to one year wages anyway and he could join a rival and strengthen them. For instance Chelsea or Liverpool could use him right now. Which is probably why we told him to go abroad. Why should we strengthen our rival particularly saving no money in the process?

I think United did a similar thing to Tomas kusczak whereby he was forced to run down his contract even though he wanted to leave even before that. It's not like we have never done this. This isn't a regular thing but it still happens

He had the chance to leave and chose not to take it. If he is being humiliated as bad as you believe, I'm sure he would have left the first opportunity he had.
 
It's a disgrace how he's being treated, really. So ridiculously petty. Just release him if you don't want him, don't treat him like a leper.

Eh? When a player is released on a free, the agreement is signed by both the parties. For all we know, he couldn't find himself a club in the summer and now doesn't want to leave Manchester United, because, you know, it's Manchester United.

We allowed him a free transfer abroad. He demands PL move and isn't willing to reduce his wages. If we terminate his contract he would demand compensation and would also join a rival in all probability. In other words we pay him to play for a rival. We may as well pay him to to stay here. He refused to move to besiktas so it's not like he is desperate for a move too.

So what exactly has he done wrong to deserve all this? All I know is he doesn't apparently follow the philosophy.

he got a knock with reserve, feared for his health and refused to play again. Now the real problem is that De Gea is better and signed a new contract.

If he doesn't want to go to turkey I cannot blame him

If he wants to remain it the pl we should allow him to leave as we clearly have no need for him.

If you release him from the contract you pay up the the remainder no compensation
 
Never liked him tbh, not in the least bit surprised it's all gone south at Utd for him.

The sooner he's a distant memory the better.
