Barcelona's official website reports that new Barcelona manager Josep Guardiola has explicitly asked the club to have again three goalkeepers in the first team squad.
Víctor Valdés (26), José Manuel Pinto (32) and Albert Jorquera (29) will occupy the three places. Last season Guardiola already had three goalkeepers at his disposal when he was coaching Barcelona B.

Non of them is good enough to play for Barca. We wanted Pep to ask for new world-class goalkeeper.
was hopin he asked for at least one new goalkeeper in that way valdes would be as second choice pinto or jorquera one of them as third choice . i think that would be appropriate. We showed to much confidence in Valdes.
Granche
Valdes is one of the best goalkeepers in the world. He consistently is in the top for the Zamora title, every year and with exception for this year he have always been better then Casillas.
I agree with the last comment. Valdes is the goods. He tends to go on occasional psychic walkabout, but every keeper makes errors.
Is he as good as Casillas? No, but Valdes is definitely world-class. Pinto I would have to rate ahead of Jorquera.
valdes improves each year, but could do with better competion. havebt seen pinto play for celta but he looked ropey for us. get neuer, would be perfect, hed challenge valdes for top spot but wouldnt mind be reserve for one or two seasons, plus he bloody young for a goalkeeper.
