Valdes will not renew

Or maybe implement a new position such as false goalkeeper ?

Pinto's time to shine.

sure Pinto will shine by 2014 when he'll be 38 yo.

Asmir Begović to Barca

you know he will be sold this summer, its not like barca would let him go for free and i doubt he would want that.

besides barca will be able to find a replacement.

He has stated his willingness to fulfill his contract at the press conference today.

He also said he is open to whatever suits Barca best, which means he could still be sold this summer.

I'd love for Valdes to stay one more season, as long as he performs like he has so far in 2013.

Looks like barca will be lacking on a tight rope again lol.

Don't mind if he's a mentor for Ter Stegen but we need the money...

If Barca can sell Valdes to Monaco they should take the money and run rather than let him out on a free next year.

The last thing i want is for Valdes to mentor my keepers lol

So does anyone know why Valdes wants to leave?

He's butthurt because no one rates him. In his own words: "Psychologically exhausted".

LOL No one wants him. Everyone he has been linked to has publicly denied interest. Anzhi, Monaco, some Brazilian club ...

I don't know why many dislike Valdes, no one wants him? You are aware the transfer season hasn't even begun how do you know who wants who?

The clubs he has been linked to have publicly denied any interest.

La Liga is not an option. It wouldn't be a "different culture" and only Real Madrid could pay his wages. And they won't buy him obviously.

In Germany no one rates him. His standing in Germany is terrible. Even when he was actually good back in 2010 he was regarded as the weak link in Barcelona in the German press. Needless to say that only Bayern can pay his wages. And they are not going for him with Neuer in goal. lol

EPL? Maybe Liverpool might agree to do a Reina-Valdes swap. But if they are clever they would rather go for Diego Lopez instead who will be ousted next season due to politics. Actually anyone who is interested in a new goalkeeper should go for Diego Lopez this summer. Wenger, are you listening?
