As someone who sees a lot of La Liga, invariably matches involving Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atlético and Valencia, I have witnessed the sad decline of Valencia this season.
Albelda, like several others, looks tired, and, at 30, unwilling or incapable of inspiring his teammates to raise their game.
Koeman has seen enough by now to make the decision that some of his more senior players are going to have to make way for players who will show more hunger.
For Juventus to take Albelda who do nothing other than add one further player that lacks pace. At this crucial time in the rebuiding of the squad, we need to focus on the talent at our disposal which include younger players currently on loan.
