Popular Post VillaChris Posted July 19, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2016 May be in the minority but I wish him well. Served the club for 8 years even if standards obviously dropped significantly in last two years. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Why would he go there? He would clearly be the #2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadoftrinity Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Because he's probably number 3 here currently, and 4 if you count Steer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 just signed Valdes so a weird signing for me. Nothing personal against him compared to some of others in squad just a really really poor goalkeeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post omariqy Posted July 19, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2016 So we are letting a player go for free? Are people happy now? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Good luck to him. Only crime was dropping in competence, never understood the hate he received, was a very good keeper for us for 2 years at least. In my opinion anyway. Good for him to go, but hope he does well and enjoys a fresh environment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 He played well for us, then he didn't. Thanks for the Peace Cup, Guzan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted July 19, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted July 19, 2016 Looked great for a couple of seasons then his standards dropped remarkably after the birth of his son. Never forgot this save though - it was a worldie. Apologies for the quality, best I could find. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Percy - Telegraph The head-clashing was about paying out to cancel contracts, I think, rather than free transfers.

Sale, free transfer or paying off contracts so if Guzan is going yes I'm happy, it matters not to me how he goes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Nice guy, tried his hardest, had a couple of excellent seasons but tailed off horribly towards the end. Always celebrating winning games like trophies which I loved. I cant understand how any Villa fan could have a bad word to say about him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, this is different. This will be a mutual agreement to let him go for no fee. The key thing being he wants to move. It's much different than paying off a player's contract to leave. If a player doesn't want to leave then we;d have to pay off his entire contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supervillan78 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Not sad to see him go, but sad to see we didn't get anything for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I thought we might be able to get a fee for him but obviously someone has seen him play, or at least try to. Delighted to get rid of him though, terrible 'keeper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delighted to get rid of him though, terrible 'keeper. I don't think he was that terrible, he had a couple of really good season's under Lambert (didn't he get POTS one year as well?) Unfortunately he wasn't able to sustain that kind of form, he declined to the point where he was becoming a liability. He's stagnated and desperately needs a move. As I said, I'm just shocked we can't get anything for him especially in an age when arguably worse players have been sold for significant fee's, he's surely worth £1m-£2m? It just feels like we've had our pants taken down releasing him on a free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Cost us a nominal fee, joined, did okay in his first couple of seasons, left on free, rejoined on a free, did well for 2/3 seasons (very well in 1.5 of them), then made a few confidence defining mistakes and has looked uncomfortable for 2 seasons. Still a better keeper than Sorenson, Enkleman etc, on a par or just a little better than Given, just not as good as Friedel (apart from Penalties!) Good Luck Goose! It's been a pleasure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
