Valdes at airport this evening, with former (until 2009) Barcelona keeper Jorquera
Gisela Pulido (kiteboarding champion) "The Barça players I love the most are Messi and Valdés. Messi always invents. He's incredible" [lx] Gisela Pulido: "Valdés said that I was one of his idols. I did not expect that, I was very excited" [la xarxa]
René Higuita: "Iker Casillas and Victor Valdés are the best goalkeepers in the world." [la xarxa]
Iniesta: "Valdes is one of the most important players in Barça's history. We should be grateful for everything he has given to the club." Iniesta: "I'm close to Victor, we talked about it before. I'll miss him, but I respect his decision. It's not easy to say 'no' to this team" Iniesta: "Successor? Won't be easy to find one, but didn't yet think about it. Until the last day he's here, Victor will be my goalkeeper." Iniesta: "You can't explain all Barça's trophies without mentioning Victor. For me, and for many, he's the best goalkeeper in the world." Iniesta: "This isn't about a footballer, but about a person who makes a decision in life. I'm by Victor's side. He's the master of his life"
Cesc: "Victor has clear ideas, we should respect his decision, and close the case. We have to compete for all trophies now." Cesc: "Valdes didn't think about himself. He gave the club enough time to look for a solution."
Barça senior source: "We respect Víctor's decision not to renew but we would like for him to reflect and continue here for many years" [md] Barça senior source: "As much as we track the market, no better goalkeeper for Barça exists in this world"
