It's shambolic & worryingly indicative of the personal grudges that LVG seems to harbour against individuals. To pluck Valdes from no-club obscurity, invest in rehabilitating his injury, offer him a contract & then shamefully announce that he would never be played while Valdes scoops a considerable wage week in week out is embarrassing. The nonsense about squad numbers and not being given Utd blazer etc.... It's like primary school hijinks. It's akin to LVG lifting the ball and going home if Valdes comes out to play.
To snub someone at a charity event, if true, is a disgrace. If LVG had a leg to stand on in terms of Valdes behaviour and reluctance to play for the reserves, I'm sure it would have been written into his contract and therefore his contract should have been terminated... Give the wages we've given Valdes wince then to UNICEF! If a clause like that isn't written into layers contracts, then Utd need to look at their solicitors and rework future contracts.
Whatever way you look at it, it stinks of amature hour and is a very embarrassing debacle for the club & the longer it goes on amid LVGs self obsessed arrogance, more fans seem to be sympathising with Valdes.
