Daniel Parejo is a liability and we need him out!

Daniel Parejo has not settled at all in Valencia CF. He arrived as a big talent in Valencia CF and one to basically take over from Banega if he was to leave, but since Banega stayed it didn't go well for him.

Banega was obviously playing the best football of his life and no one was going to play instead of him, not Parejo or Tino or anyone. Then Banega got injured and it was Tino who got the change and he instantly proved himself as he went on to play some crucial games.

Its not that Parejo didn't get a chance, its that when he got a chance he never used it. He never stood out, he did not do something no other can do and did not even seen interested to try really hard.

Since the circumstances were as such he began complaining a lot and had his agent speak with the sporting director to get Emery to give him more chances and that was the case. Emery did give Parejo more chances, but these were chances from a substitution spot as Valencia CF was playing crucial matches that it just couldn't afford to come out with a weaker squad and loose.

In all of his time on the pitch not once has Parejo been good, in fact he has been below average and if he is to blame anyone its himself because he is not good enough and needs to work 200% harder and put blood and sweat into getting better in order to have more chances so he can prove himself.

But no, he has chosen the blame everyone, but himself, an easy way out and one that all too often we see in human nature. But this just shows his weak character and we don't need a whiner who isn't even good to be destroying the atmosphere in the team and I urge Braulio to sell him at once and use that money to secure the transfer of Van der Wiel.

I don't want anyone to defend Parejo and blame Emery for this and say he didn't give him enough chances because that is just not true and players like Feghuoli, Canales, Alba, etc... have all been second choice to Pablo, Jonas and Mathieu respectively before Canales overtook Jonas when he was fit and Feghuoli overtook Pablo and Alba even though has not overtook Mathieu does regularly start.

So this is a question of how good a players is and obviously Parejo isn't better than Tino or Banega to start over them!

Sevilla next Valencia opponent in Copa Del Rey

Valencia CF will meet FC Sevilla in the next round of the Copa Del Rey tournament. Unai Emery was happy with the draw and said that its time for revenge over the 2009/10 season loss, while sporting director Braulio wasn't too thrilled about it and said that Valencia would have wanted to avoid Sevilla, but that Valencia must go through tough opponents if they really plan on winning the cup.

Valencia CF to purchase Florent Malouda?

Well if you believe English media Malouda is close to coming in Valencia CF and for no less than 6-7 million euros. Malouda has been getting very little playing time in Chelsea and with Mata transferring there and becoming a first team regular Malouda barely gets any playing time.

Chelsea are reportedly wanting to offload some of their old wood and Malouda is one of the players that they will try to sell to Valencia CF for 6-7 million euros.

Of course its more likely that the Loch Ness monster and Santa are real. Valencia doesn't have 7 million and especially not for Malouda. The only money that Valencia CF has is reserved for Van der Wiel.

Gregory van der Wiel reaches agreement with Valencia CF

Ajax's right back Van der Wiel has confirmed to the Dutch media that he has reached an agreement with Valencia CF and that the deal will have him stay at Valencia CF until 2017, of course if negotiations go smoothly between the two clubs.

If the deal goes through Van der Wiel will stay at Ajax until the end of the current season, in a similar fashion to the deal Valencia made with Lille over Adil Rami.

So far the sides haven't reached an agreement over the transfer fee with Valencia offering 6 million and Ajax wanting 10 million, though sources have it that is deal could be reached for 7 million euros.

Valencia to face Stoke in Europa League

The draw for the Champions League and the Europa League is over and all the matches are now known.

Valencia CF was very lucky and avoided all of the dangerous opponents and will face Stoke City. This is probably the best outcome one could have hoped for and with the major players like Manchester City, Manchester United, Porto and Ajax all to be eliminated by one another Valencia CF is going to have a good path, assuming we win against Stoke first though.

If we win against Stoke City then the possible opponent is Trabzonspor or PSV.

Valencia to resume construction of new Mestalla

Valencia announced that it has reached an agreement with Bankia to resume construction of the new stadium as soon as next year, which is basically just two weeks away.

The deal will have Bankia loan Valencia 140 million euros for the completition of the new Mestalla, while Valencia CF gives away the current Mestalla land and new Mestalla land, including the hotel to the bank and in turn have their 240 million debt to the bank wiped out.

Ultimately Valencia CF will now still be about 260 million in debt, but that is about 100 million less than it currently is.

The fact that 140 million is not enough to finish the new stadium means that Valencia CF will have monetary help from the local government to build the stadium.

Valencia president Manuel Llorente was pretty excited about the deal saying how Valencia CF will have one of the best stadiums in Europe, but realistically he was under pressure to do something and with the stadium already suffering at least 1-2 million in repair damages every year and no end to Spain's financial troubles he probably was forced into this deal.

Still its better than holding onto huge debts and decaying stadium.

Chelsea FC 3-0 Valencia CF player ratings

Diego 6 - Had to make 3 saves and did a good job, arguable if he can do more for the first goal.
Barragan 5 - At fault for the first goal, he fell down and allowed Mata to provide the assist to Drogba. Was nowhere to react on the second one as well, although wasn't at fault directly.
Rami 4 - Suspect at all times with poor defending for the first goal and poor defending overall.
Ruiz 3.5 - Poor defending all round, directly responsible for the second goal and suspect at all times, but you got to realize he was injured and shouldn't have even played in such an important match unfit and out of form.
Alba 4.5 - Suspect in defense with some poor clearances. Did well in attack, but was too little too bad.
Albelda 6 - Good display from the veteran who was the only person not scared from Chelsea and made few defensive interceptions.
Tino 5.5 - Poor delivery from set pieces which are supposed to be his biggest strength. I feel like he was maybe a little bit tired as he played just 3 days ago on the weekend against Espanyol.
Feghuoli 5.5 - The only player that created a few actions and tried hardest to do something, but had no one to play with.
Jonas 5 - Completely anonymous and I'm, surprised Emery didn't change him on half time.
Mathieu 5.5 - Was decent in attack with some good link-up play with Alba and Tino and provided few crosses, but he is not sophisticated enough to be a real winger. He has good crosses and speed, but he is too simple of a player and doesn't cut inside ever to be a real winger and VCF need to find a good winger in the winter.
Soldado 5 - Didn't see the ball at all. Apart from one shot he had absolutely no service.
Subs:
Aduriz 5 - One header towards goal, a good one as well, but that was about it.
Pablo 5 - Worse than Feghuoli and literally only had 4-5 touches with the ball.
Parejo 5 - Didn't add anything at all.

Unai Emery 4 - Said he would play Miguel against Chelsea and back off on his own word and that negatively reflected as Barragan was pretty much responsible for the first goal.
He also played Ruiz straight out of injury when he probably isn't even fully fit and it backfired miserable as Ruiz was crap all night long. He also was wrong to start searching for a quick goal from the start and in these kind of cases its better to just sit back and slowly grind out a goal somewhere in the 80-90 minute and have little time for the opposition to recover.

I need someone to get me Unai Emery email so that I can send him my tactical analysis of my deep studies before matches like this.
