Balague's suggestion that Rafa won't sign Valencia players out of respect is utter cobblers, I have to say. Not only has it been several years now, Valencia have refreshed their squad and the vast majority of Rafa's key men have left the club. And on top of that, they've transfer listed their top players due to their financial situation and the problems with their stadium development. There's nothing underhand about it. If anything they'd rather sell their players to Rafa Benitez at this stage. It's a nonsense statement and that's not even taking into account the fact we've signed a few from Valencia since he left. Sometimes he talks garbage, Balague. Sometimes he's spot on, but sometimes he talks garbage.
