The 31 year old Portugal international joined Valencia on a two year deal for a reported fee of&nbsp;&euro;3 million.<br />

Postiga, who scored 14 goals for Zaragoza last season, could not help his side stay up in the Primera division and was eyed by Miroslav Djukic as a potential replacement for Soldado who ended last season with 25 goals.<br />

However, the former Tottenham striker refused to drawn into the discussion about being effectively the Spain international's replacement at the club.<br />

"I'm not here to replace anyone," he said.<br />

"Roberto was an important player for this team, just like many other players were, and I've come here to help the team and contribute as much as I can," he is quoted as saying by rtve.com.
