I still get that with Mata. Hell, I sometimes get it with Van Persie.
Change confuses and upsets me.
Same. Van Persie, Mata, Falcao, Valdes, Di Maria...
Still not used to Michael sodding Owen yet.

Hopefully van Gaal lives up to his word and keeps Valdes as a second keeper. I'm not too worried about the whole situation, though. I'm just very happy that we got Valdes for almost nothing whilst making some good money out of Lindegaard as well.
It seems to me like Valdes will be here to sharpen himself up for the near future as well as provide some good experience for de Gea and our defenders. Having him as a 2nd keeper is very good as that'll mean we won't really miss de Gea if the worst case scenario does pop up.

9 pages discussing a performance yet to happen.
He was one of the best goalkeepers in the world when he got injured.
It is a little amazing that we've managed to get him as a no.2. I thought a lot of clubs would have loved to bring him in as a no.1 but I suppose with the injury he is a risk.
I think Valdes will help De Gea with his distribution and provide strong competition which can only help De Gea.
Can see this signing only as a positive.

Welcome Valdes!
To be fair that is not much of an achievement nowadays.
Valdes is a great option to have, just depends how will he recover from his injury.
I also think this is an insurance policy incase things take a turn with De Gea this summer.
Personally think David will sign and stay here as he seems happy here but incase he does leave I don't think we could do any better than have Valdes as his replacement. That too on a free.

Great interview.
Nice Interview, the bit about the rain 
I remember all the Spaniards at uni complaining about the cold, I'd just look at them and say never move to Sweden.

It was like 5-10 degrees warmer in the UK than the Madrid derby last night. Quit your moaning Victor! The rain keeps it mild, embrace it.Nice Interview, the bit about the rain
Does not make sense. I guess Lindegaard will be sold asap, waste of salary at the moment.
Both Lindegaard and Amos will be finding new teams.
Valdes has apparently a very high opinion of himself, so i wonder how much of himself believes that he is going to take De gea's place.
But he is from Barcelona, i'm from the south of France and we haven't seen the rain for a month or something like that.

I'm impressed by his English.
Los Manchester Unificado jugado in the theatre of sueños
Signing him to lure Messi surely
We can drop the "2014" from the title an' all.
Yeah but Barcelona is on the Mediterranean so the climate there is milder.
"Now it's the best keeper in the world." Nice words about the DDG.
Welcome to Manchester Valdes! Hopefully he can regain his former form and fitness. Sad to see Lindegaard go but it was obvious in the summer when it was rumored he wanted to go and in my opinion I just don't think LVG rates him.
Many people here thinks that he, after 7 months of injury, will replace De Gea who will be sold
Very easy for a new player to say all the right things in their first interview but I thought he genuinely spoke very well.
Welcome Victor!
Welcome Victor!
Seems very strange that he'd come here just to be a back-up keeper.
Only reason I can think of that he'd willingly do that is if we're paying him an absolute fortune.
I'm worried about DDG, though to be fair both Valdes and LvG are saying the right thing....

Don't be daft, I bet you can't show me one example where anyone suggested this would be a possibility. Nobody has even mentioned de gea for ages.
I always thought he was a bit of a cnut, but he seems like a nice guy now that I see more of him. Really good interview, thanx for posting.
Love it we've got probably the third, or fourth best keeper in the league and he's our number two!
Great bit of business, now for a big fat transfer fee for Lindegaard.

That has always been the tagline, it just makes sense nowI agree.
Love your new tagline btw
Well 5 people in the poll on the homepage definitely think exactly that
One of which is an Arsenal fan @ThierryHenry!
A very handsome chap! And he come across as sincere, likeable and passionate. Im also glad he did not hide his feelings for Barcelona and suddenly claim to bleed red for our badge. But given his education, its reassuring to know he shares the Fergusonian values of a never ending appetite to keep winning medals, no matter how many he wins. That will endear him to the likes of Giggs, Rooney et al.
Listening between the lines, its obvious that his injury cost him a huge amount of ability and self-confidence and his rehabilitation is a serious long term plan. I doubt very much he will be happy to be a no 2 keeper if he regains the ability and confidence he had pre injury.
So this signing for us world well for both sides in the short term: he is surrounded by world class players, trainers and facilities as he tries hard to regain what he lost and we get access to the best reserve keeper in world football.
But unless De Gea leaves, I think he will leave us next winter, or latest in the summer of 2016. And thats what I also hope happens, as that would mean r we retained De Gea as well as helped rehabilitate a world class talent and enjoyed his services during the period.

Of course it has! DOH! My memory lately. Im starting to get worried
Is @Barney one of the others?
Best #2 in the world if that is the case. "Happy with that, lads" as Chris Woods said in the Giggsy doc.
To be fair, that probably goes to Cech.
What is it with us signing players that make you smile when they give interviews?
. I was never really a fan of Valdez but now I'm even happier he's here after that interview, seems a good lad!
