How much are Valencia CF players worth?

Valencia CF has some really talented players in its squad, but how much are they really worth?

This is a tough process because there are no measurable element, there is no mathematical formula to form the price of a player, its basically how much the club values its own player and at what price is the club willing to sell the player.

For example based on the Copa America performance the value of Ever Banega may go up or down.

I've posted a poll few days ago to see what the fans thought about the idea of selling Ever Banega. Well turns out the large majority don't want to sell Banega.

Here are the poll results:
Should Banega be sold?
Yes - 2 (5%)
No - 29 (85%)
Not sure - 3 (8%)

Valencia CF new 2011/12 kits revealed

Valencia CF has revealed the new 2011/12 kits made by Joma. The kits are similar to the previous season kits in that they are without stripes and quite simple, but changes in the details make it really interesting and new is the Joma logo obviously.

The home kit has a white shirt, black trucks and white socks with a black stripe at the top. The back side is quite interesting of the home kit and I like it quite a bit.

The away kit is all black, the shirt is black and has a different detail around the neck-shoulders area, the shorts are black and the socks are black as well with a bronze like color stripe at the top. I don't particularity like this kit so much, I think there should have been a little bit of orange detail on it, to make it look better.

The 3rd kit is quite good, it has a orange-reddish color shirt and is quite basic in the looks, white trunks and orange and black socks.

The goalkeeper kit is all blue and in the details it resembles the home kit.

Overall nice kit designs and I think between the 4 kits (home, away, 3rd, Senyera) people are going to purchase the new kits quite a bit.

All that is missing is of course a new short sponsor and its said that Valencia CF won't rush to get a new sponsor and try to get as high possible financial offer as possible, before accepting any deal.

Manuel Fernandes transfers to Besiktas

Valencia CF announced the transfer of Manuel Fernandes to Turkish team Besiktas for a reported fee of 2 million euros.

Fernandes has signed a three year contract with Beşiktaş worth €2.1 million per season.

This transfer comes after it has been known for few weeks that Valencia want to sell Fernandes to Besiktas and it was in the players hands if he would join Besiktas or not.

Valencia CF future in danger?

This is huge news, the future of Valencia CF is right now basically up for grabs with court ruling to be made for the 2009 initiative to sell its shares to Valencia members.

If the ruling is in favor of the plaitiff it can spell disaster as all the good work the club has done in the past 2 years can come down crushing and bringing the club once again in a messy situation with people fighting for

Valencia CF shirts to be unveiled Friday

Valencia CF will unveil the shirts Friday, these will be without logo because no sponsor has reached an agreement with Valencia CF yet.

There are some small rumors that Toyota might be interested to be the sponsor again, but I personally think its going to be a Spanish company and I think its going to be signed very close to the start of the season.

The shirts will also go immediately on sale. 

For those who do not know, Spain is in a big financial crisis and unless there are some real and positive changes its going to be very hard for anyone and anything to prosper in Spain.

Comments now use DISQUS

I've updated the blog to use the DISQUS comment system instead of the blogger one, so that more people can comment. Unfortunately in the process the blogger comments were removed, although they are still on the blogger server and can be available should I revert back to the blogger comments system.

I'm currently working on two more pages and trying out external PHP and MYSQL databases to run a fantasy like system although right now its way off.
I'm also working out on different player ratings overlays, testing out new fixtures overlays and whether to have 2010/11 and 2011/12 fixtures on one page or move them to 2 pages or drop the 2010/11 fixtures.

I will probably place a poll on all these issues in order to figure it all out, but I will have it  all sorted out before the new season begins that is for sure.
