Is there a bigger fraud in football than Victor Valdes?

arguably their weakest link

Little "arguably" about it. Still, if Brazil 1970 could manage with a shite goalie.....

If bouncing up and screaming at the defenders is what you're after on the other hand, big Pepe's your man.

Been saying this for time! Good call saffers, useless @#%&!.

i'd play with flyers if i was barca

You could say the same for most of their defensive players. Valdes, Puyol, Pique, Busquets are all part of a very strong strong collective identity and unity, but, individually, they're nothing special, imo.

His banter's second to none, so they say

valdes is getting a ridiculous amount of stick here. there are better keepers around but he's decent enough.

The only downside of Valdes being shit is that in a couple of years De Gea will probably leave here for Barcelona..
