Zatman Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Balague is about as much ITK as a Sun journalist. I remember he was going on for 4 summers around 02-06 that Torres to United was a done deal and just about to be signed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted May 24, 2013 Moderator Share Posted May 24, 2013 Seems Monaco have bought Moutinho and Rodriguez from Porto for €60m. Don't think it's confirmed yet but seems to be a done deal. But the interesting bit is that Moutinho had a sell on clause from his transfer from Lisbon. So to avoid that, Porto have officially sold Rodriguez for €59m and Moutinho for €1m CheekyI'd say that could be challenged under 'taking the piss'. I couldn't sell you a house for a fiver if I was of a mind to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folski Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 It says Neymar in the tweet, also said Ancellotti wants Bale & Cavani at Real next season and will get rid of Higuain & Modric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) No I was talking about who are they going to sign, I'd take Bale over Neymar as well Talk of them getting Bale too. They won't get both.. Edited May 24, 2013 by AVFCforever1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 It says Neymar in the tweet, also said Ancellotti wants Bale & Cavani at Real next season and will get rid of Higuain & Modric. be a mess up front for them unless they replace Di Maria and Ozil moves deeper as a forward line of Ronaldo, Neymar, Cavani and Bale looks great on paper but I doubt they would ever pass to each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folski Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Basically sounds like he has a €65m release clause which both are willing to pay but he wants to join Barca so Real are offering Barca €40mil to pull out of negotiations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Valdes is off to Monaco apparently. Wants a new challenge a shit load of money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted May 24, 2013 Moderator Share Posted May 24, 2013 Clearly I've missed something here..... when did Monaco come into a shit load of cash?Here's a clue. They've had their current chairman since December 2011 and his name is Dmitry Rybolovlev. They've just been promoted back to Ligue 1 and they have no intention of making up the numbers.

Zatman Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Ranieri is the manager there at moment as well. as for Valdes he will look shit in France as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 24, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted May 24, 2013 Valdes is probably the most overrated keeper in the game at the moment, imo. He's not bad, and he's a good fit for Barca because he's excellent with the ball at his feet. BUt the rest of his game is a good way behind the top keepers of this world, yet he's consistently held in the same esteem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted May 24, 2013 Moderator Share Posted May 24, 2013 It's also hard to objectively judge him because of how quiet it is at his end of the pitch. On one hand he has to be up to some standard by virtue of playing for them but on the other we just don't know how good he really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 24, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted May 24, 2013 I agree to an extent. But I think he's given the benefit of the doubt because he's Catalan, i.e. a homegrown hero of sorts. You are right that he's not under as much pressure in games, which in turn presents a different challenge of concentration. But I still think he's significantly.."less good" than the top keepers playing at the moment. On that note, I'd be backing De Gea to take over as Spain's number 1 some time soon.

Tomaszk Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I think Valdes is a poor keeper. The last few years during Barca's huge dominance, he's been responsible for so so many goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 he's also a key component to their success though... the sweeper keeper as a keeper i agree he's nothing special but he plays a huge role in the way barca play, would say the same if they went for reina as his replacement, nothing special as a keeper IMO but good with his feet and can push the defensive line way up the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 No I was talking about who are they going to sign, I'd take Bale over Neymar as well Talk of them getting Bale too. They won't get both.. The same Real who signed Ronaldo, Kaka and Alonso in 1 window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
