He is a very bad goalkeeper which is earning great money till 31 for not playing. He knows he will fail at a new club so he waits for finishing his contract.

Who would blame him? The club shouldn't have offered him the extra two years in 2008. Now one of the youngsters could be blocked.

we should stop giving such high wages. imossible to sell them for a reasonable price. Lower wages will give us higher transfer fees.

But if we don't compensate players in a competitive fashion, you don't get good players. At the time of the Jorquera signing, Pinto was not anticipated, nor was Jorquera's freak injury playing pickup basketball.

Jorquera is a good keeper, but had some bad luck. If I were making big bucks as a third keeper, I'd ride that train, too. He won't make as much where he goes next, so why not?

Your fact are a wrong, Kxevin: he got injured in December 2007 playing with Catalonia and we offered him a renewal in february-march-april 2008 (with his contract expiring in june 2008) when we already had signed Pinto in january 2008.

in 2010 both Pointo and Jorquera contracts expire and Pinto is getting old so and the club is not likely going to offer him a renewal so we will promote a GK for the second team or buy a new back-up.

I'm wrong about the circumstances of the injury (football vs basketball), but not the situation. He was extended until June '08. We signed Pinto until the end of that season as backup, then he did better than anyone thought, making Jorquera surplus to requirements in the aftermath.

He was extended until June 2010. Pinto did better than anyone thought? He didn't actually play a game that mattered... From thes tart, we had an option that we could get him for free which made it quite clear that we wanted to keep him. No club will pay 500 000 euro for a six months loan. So if you then have an option on Pinto, who had far more experience than Jorquera and was proven at the highest level (zamora trophy...), why do you offer Jorquera a new contract the next month? It sure was not a very wise decision...
