So from what I understand even if Valencia do stay up, they have a mass exidous, they brought a new stadium? Can't sell the Mastella? Or something

So they gonna sell everyone for the right price.

The team is full of great players, who is going where :O

Looks like pretty much everyone.

According to Sid Lowe off the Guardian podcast, Villa, Joaquin & Vicente will be leaving, Villa probably to Real. If I was David Albelda I would be off as well, along with Canizares & Angulo.

then theres Miguel, Banega, Sunny, Abiol! Marchenna , Silva! crazy to think.

well i'm guessing that Banega will stay. he is only 19 and hasnt set the world alight at the Mestalla so far so I doubt a) he would want to leave and b) a big club would be prepared to take a €12m+ risk on him.

Silva is the one player I heard Valencia are desperate to keep, but with Barca rebuilding, Chelsea often linked...there is a chance that he would be tempted away.

Miguel would surely be dropping down a level if he left, either back to Portugal or to a lesser La Liga club...he has had a pretty bad time of it in Valencia and has been usurped as the RB for Portugal i believe...

Marchena & Albiol.....no idea. They have both had terrible seasons, but Spanish internationals with, in Albiol's case, a lot of potential- I'm sure they would find La Liga suitors. Barca could be a destination for Albiol I guess...

Marcelino (of Racing Santander), said that if he got the job at Valencia, he'd shift about 12 players. When was it established an exodus was needed? It was Koeman's idea wasn't it? Not a guy I'd be taking pointers off right now.
