Victor Valdes

[M_B]

If he doesn't want to prove himself over a 4 day expenses paid trial then he's either hiding something or he's not fussed about playing for us. Either way let him go.

[ratcatcher]

My understanding was that it was agreed between club and player \ agent, he'd have a medical to prove his fitness. On that basis, I wouldnt have a problem signing valdes although I do think he is grossly overrated.

 

Im not sure what the club would find out in 3 or 4 days what it wouldnt do in a medical (we binned remy off on the medical after all) but to my uneducated eye, I dont think the club is making an unreasonable request given the seriousness of the injury.

 

What the player has won in a two club league seems immaterial to the here and now. I'd hope the club and player could sit down and talk about it but if valdes wants to chuck his toys out the pram coming the big I am (which given his past comments wouldnt surprise me) then yes, he can do one and I think the club would be right to not proceed.

[Nightcat]

Fucking up another signing I see? This committee never fails to surprise me.

 

The club is being reasonable, while Valdes is overrated?

 

Heh, have you been watching us recently? Have you been following Mignolet or even Reina the past few years?

 

...................and you call Valdes, what? overrated?

LOL! Suck it up and swallow, bitch.

[Tyler Durden]

Lets be honest we don't know what has been agreed with Valdes prior to us wanting this 4 day trial, he might feel like he is being told to jump through hoops a bit and thinks he deserves more respect.

 

We do fuck up and protract far too many deals for it to ALWAYS be the players faults.

[King Emlyn]

I think regardless of the whys and wherefores of this one it has to be said that we're abysmal when it comes to transfer dealing. Always a hitch or insurmountable problem. It's been going on for years now.

[an tha]

He's a free agent, a man without a club, who has had a major injury and not played for months, who will want a big wage.

 

Fucking right he should prove himself.

 

If he does not want to do this trial then it shows his lack of desire or lack of real interest in playing for us. If he wanted it he would be here like a shot and proving to us and to himself he is ready to go.

[Russ Atmosphere]

Why would Valdes agree to a trial, during which he might presumably suffer another injury?

[Bjornebye]

Thats no way to talk to yourself

[Cardie]

Why would Valdes agree to a trial, during which he might presumably suffer another injury?

Because he wants to be paid a sizeable wage.

 

[Russ Atmosphere]

Because he wants to be paid a sizeable wage.

We're unlikely to be his only option of a good salary though.

If you were running a business would you sign someone on a lucrative contract if that person was worried about suffering an injury in a four day trial?

I think too many assume far too much. We have budgets and stick to them, people moan like fuck. We splash the cash and people moan like fuck.

 

Some you win, some you lose. We are not in a position to pay 4 or 5 players 250 thou a week. And if we did, people would moan like fuck about it.

I don't really see the relevance. Why should Valdes put his future earnings at risk unnecessarily?

[ratcatcher]

Aye. And believing oneself to be perfect is often the sign of a dillusional mind!

[Spy Bee]

I don't really see the relevance. Why should Valdes put his future earnings at risk unnecessarily?

Why should LFC give someone a contract for mega bucks when they might be crocked?

[magicrat]

Normal people seeking employment are effectively on trial and can be fucked off with very little recourse for up to a year if they aren't up to it .It begs the question why footballers should be different but that aside why is Valdes worried about a short trial if hes fully fit. As I understand it he wants Liverpool to take all the risk if he breaks down again , an outcome that could potentially cost millions . In this situation can't really blame the club for not taking him on those terms. There would be some serious fucking shit flying if he was crocked in 5 mins and we were on the hook for his wages.

Two years.

[Boss]

Who are we to tell Victor Valdes to take a trial? We're being cheeky cunts and he's got a right to tell us to fuck off.

[magicrat]

Two years.

Correct, Thanks

[an tha]

Why has he got a right to tell us to fuck off? he hasn't got a job, has been crocked. He should be desperate to prove his worth to a potential employer.

 

If he had a job, was training and or playing regularly then yeah he would be right to tell us to do one.

[Denny Crane]

I thought all football clubs have insurance policies that cover injured players. So it would not be Liverpool on the hook for his wages. Hence the problem with Remy. They have medicals for a reason, let him take one, then either do business or walkaway.

Because he has played over 500 times for Barcelona and won't find it very difficult to find a top club that will sign him without a four day medical.

Then he can go and sign for that top club then. Let's see how many are queuing up to take him given his current status.

[Spy Bee]

But why is a four day trial such an imposition for him? If he comes through the trial he gets a mucho deniro contract. 

 

I think if he won't do it, fuck him!
