Valencia Football Club has reached an agreement with Chelsea FC for the transfer of the player Juan Manuel Mata. The agreement is subject to the relevant medical tests.

Valencia CF reached the agreement for the sale of Juan Mata to Chelsea FC today after more than a week of negotiations. Mata signs for Chelsea.

The transfer fee is reportedly 31 million euros and Chelsea FC agreement with Juan Mata will have him stay at Chelsea FC for 5 years.

I want to wish Juan Mata the best in his career, he has been a great player and person and never caused problems for Valencia CF.

Valencia CF wallpapers batch 3

Hallo ladies and gentlemen, there has been quite some time since the last batch of Valencia CF wallpapers and that has been because I've been working on other blog things like the squad page and the fantasy league.

But I've had enough spare time recently to finish up all the new Valencia CF wallpapers. I hope you like them and use them as your screensaver and spread them around the web.

I would also like to urge you once again if you know your way around Photoshop or Corel programs to create VCF wallpapers and send them to me at my email address: slickr12345_at_yahoo_dot_com.

Here is the latest batch of Valencia CF new wall papers:

Valencia CF first match again themselves

Valencia CF played its first match of the season today against themselves. Yeah as you already might have known, the kick off to the league has been postponed to next week, due to the players strike. All interested sides will try to reach an agreement over the issue and will talk today and then in Monday again.

But anyways Unai Emery divided the team into 2 groups of 12 players and they played a 40 minutes match in order to recreate real play as much as possible.

In the black and white dresses were: Guaita, Bruno, Maduro, Dealbert, Jordi Alba, Abelda, Parejo, Tino Costa, Pablo, Jonas, Mata and Soldado.
In the orange and black dress were: Diego, Miguel, Rami, Ricardo Costa, Mathieu, Topal, Banega, Channels, Feghouli, Piatti, Bernat and Aduriz.
Unai Emery and his assistans coaches acted as referees.

The black and white team won the match 4-3. It would have been amazing if there was a video of the match to see how the players performed, but that's just wishful thinking. 

Chelsea to sign Mata and other Valencia CF news

There is few news worthy articles this week and I've missed all due to other work on the blog.

Anyways Sergio Canales was officially presented as a Valencia CF player after coming from the U-20 world cup and he was rather pleased about coming to Valencia CF, having great words for the club.

He said he is coming to a great club and that only few days is enough to see how great Valencia CF is, he comes here to win trophies and is eager to start playing.

In other news Cristiano Pereira, Ricardo Costa, Mehmet Topal and Ever Banega have all been called up to their national teams for their respective matches.

Last news is the biggest one and reports are that Chelsea FC have bid 31 million euros for Juan Mata and Valencia CF is studying the offer right now.  So far there hasn't been an official confirmation or denial about an offer from Chelsea. Chelsea FC is really interested to buy Juan Mata than its possible their bid will go as high as 35 million euros.

New page launched

Today I've launched the new "SQUAD" page to compliment the blog. There you will find all players from the senior team and by clicking the links you will be taken to player profile with all information you would like to know, including exclusive information as market value and player rating updated real time.

There was also a suggestion to add videos of the players and I'm still working on that, mainly searching good quality videos that you can actually see.

I'm still working on a Valencia CF fantasy league on a separate server, it would act similarly to the premier league fantasy league, but of course only with the Valencia CF players. Its still a long way out though so don't hold your breathe.

Also I've just opened a forum, so if you'd like to join you are welcomed to. The forum website is www.clubvalenciacf.co.cc/
