This is interesting... just read this on a goalkeeper forum I'm a member of. This guy is a good keeper!!! 100% available now, gotta be worth offering him a trial at least??

"Valencia goalkeeper Timo Hildebrand has been released from his contract at the Spanish side after months of inactivity...

Timo Hildebrand has suffered a nightmare spell at Valencia lately but his misery looks to have come to an end as his contract has been terminated by mutual consent.

The German joined Valencia from Stuttgart in 2007 and was seen as a long-term replacement for Santiago Caņizares. However, he has been out of favour with new coach Unai Emery and has not even managed to get into the squad on most occasions.

This has resulted in much unrest for the player and AS confirms that he has parted ways with the club.

When he joined on a free he signed a contract until June 30, 2010, and at the beginning he found some good playing time under Ronald Koeman."

Yes he has a great pedigree and may be worth taking a chance on but his confidence must be shot after that clown Renan was preferred to him in goal for valencia.

He even made the german team for a few euro qualifiers but got a bad injury and when he returned he had a massive bust-up with unai emery(the valencia manager) and never appeared since.
