I remember being quite excited when we signed Valdes. The thought of signing Barcelona's #1 to be our #2 was quite fun. Really hasn't worked for him post-injury though. Very similar case to Falcao

I'd be more than happy to have him back as our number 2, if he'd accept it that is.
Why?
Romero has been totally fine as a number 2. He's played well when we needed him, he's not acted like a dick and refused to play for the reserves, he's younger and will be on lower wages than Valdes. Can't see any reason why we shouldn't stick with him.
Standard!
Mourinho loves an established superstar, washed up or not. If he is the new manager, Mourinho might bin Big Serge in favour of Valdes.
Doesn't his contract expire this summer anyway?
I agree with this. Romero hasn't let anyone down when he's been called on and at this stage, I would say he's the better keeper.
I'm not sure what's wrong with me but when a player is bitching and moaning about being on the bench, I think he's a cnut, but now with Romero just sitting there all meek and happy to be no2, I think there's something wrong with him too.
No pleasing some folk.
Not sure if Mourinho and Valdes would get on, but if Valdes does stay under Mourinho it'd most likely be with De Gea leaving.
Because he's much, much better.
Those who say Romero hasn't let anyone down is obviously forgetting his horror show against Swansea
Didn't he do much better (2nd choice keeper levels) in other matches. Or are you suggesting no one should have a bad day at office.
I imagine he's saying that if you start a new job, go to work for a week and then on the fifth day take a shit in the photocopier then people will be entitled to wonder whether you're just a bit of a feckwit.
This. Valdes just needs to be gone regardless of who's at fault for the falling out with LVG. In fact, LVG needs gone too. Yeah, they should both just pack their shit and get the feck out. One way ticket to Idontgiveafeckistan.
Didn't he have like 3 or 4 clean sheets in his first few games for United? In any case, he has 6 clean sheets in his 10 appearances for the club which is fine going for a number 2.
He conceded one soft goal against Gomis in that match. Hardly a horror show. Even De Gea lets in the occasional soft one.
I imagine someone's happy today
Totally forgot he was still here!
I hope Jose tells him to go get the goalie jersey and he will become the new no 1.
Then he starts pulling Valdes back by the neck and laughs manically as he manhandles him..

Why? Mourinho likes him? Dont think so, after he tried to stop him celebrating in the Nopu Camp. Can pack his bags with Mata.
Right... is there a joke I'm missing or have you just got a strong dislike for Valdes
Valdes manhandled Jose when he was trying to celebtate with the Inter fans when Inter beat Barca in the Camp Nou.Right... is there a joke I'm missing or have you just got a strong dislike for Valdes
Valdes can piss off, too.
Wasn't it reported that he was trying to undermine the coaches and cause rifts in the dressing room after his spats with van Gaal? He's got to be a goner.
He's become something of a joke.
The pre season press conference was pretty fun though. Thank you Valdes and van Gaal, great entertainment off the field.
Thought it'd be something like this, due to the post a couple below yours! I hope Valdes stays as #2 though.
Does anyone think Mourinho will offer Valdes a reprieve and he will be second choice next season?
Doesn't his contract expire this summer? I somehow thought so, maybe because he is totally non-existent
Double V back from the Belgian wilderness!
Don't see why he has to, Romero has been a good backup keeper. Less of a cnut too.
Hopefully his agent will find more takers flogging him around Europe then he did last summer when anyone could have had him for a song and nobody seemed to want him. A couple of deals fell through at the last minute over personal contract issues, which means he and his agent were overplaying their hand.
Hopefully not seeing he's a complete ballbag.
Has he not made like a tree and fecked off yet?
Has he finished my laundry?
There were rumours of Espanyol looking for him, but there doesn't seem to have been any concrete offers yet.
so more of the same of last summer.
Stupid signing in the first place, both him and Romero are useless.
Hope they both leave and we promote Johnstone as our second choice keeper.
Shouldn't his contract be up anyway?
