It's absolutely hilarious how underrated Valdes is on Rawk, the guy has been turning in brilliant performance's for going on 3 years now.

He is a phenomonal goalkeeper, brilliant at commanding his area, best in the buisness at making the goal as small as possible, his distribution whilst not Reina good, is as close as you'll get to that level.

He should be Spain's number 1 imo. I know people like Sid Lowe, Guillem Balague, and Graham Hunter all feel the samw way.

I feel the same, he is clearly the best goalkeeper in Spain at the moment and has come on leaps and bounds in the last few years. There really isn't much between Valdes, Reina, Casillas and De Gea, it's a shame that the latter hasn't had a chance with the national team yet but his time will come.

Rooney.
 
'Wonder kid', 'Only player who would make Alf Ramsey's '66 team'... All crap, where were his goals in the world cup(s0? No, just a load of yellow/red cards. He's fine for United though, course he is, club before country, as is code with Untied players.
 
I mean he's good, but not as good as Owen was when he was good back then, if it wasn't for him being victim of Madrid's shite idea of buying the best players then don't play them and being injured.
Suarez, Carroll, Henderson, Adam, Downing, Doni, Enrique + Kenny = Future's bright!!

Chelsea aren't killing football. They're merely vultures eating away at the carcus of the sport it used to be.

Ever Banega. There's so much hype about him for no reason. I think he is decent, but that is about it.

Ribery. He is not one of the best wingers in world football.

Kaka. There are still people overrating him for one good match vs uninterested Valencia. He is not that good.

Sandro. He is a bit overrated I feel. A good player, though.

Ozil. He is a very good player, but lately, some have been intensely overrating him.

Nasri. He has been good for a while, but him being listed for Player of the Year is the direct result of this unwarranted hype around him. He is a good player, though.

Valdes is the most underrated player in the World.

Overrated players include Young, Adam, Milner Bale Krasic

Although I watch more Italian/Spanish football than I do English I'm not sure how overrated those players are due to me only experiencing the media over here and hence the massive Bale/Rooney wankfests

Royston Drenthe: Still hear people who say we should buy him, largely on the basis of one game years ago where he acted like a c*nt.

Arshavin: Most people are only just waking up to the fact he's the wrong side of 30 and been largely anonymous for a while.

Podolski: German NT Podolski = Good. Club Podolski = Shite.

Albiol: Going back a while and not based on recent peformances, I've never rated this guy as a top quality CB. I remember telling people to sod off back when there was talk of Rafa selling Agger and Albiol was gonna be his replacement.

I'm not mentioning the obvious candidates like Shay Given or Bale, because they've been done to death already.

While I was making an equivalent thread to this (;)), another name I had to mention came to mind.

Adel Taraabt

Yes, I know he's done well and scored a lot of goals for QPR. However he plays like passing is something that happens to other people and the rest of his team are just his cheerleaders. Would never want him at Liverpool, the way he tries to play his way out of everything while his team are standing round him waving for a pass drives me crazy.

Frank Lampard - the way the media and so on so forth wanked over him a few years ago when almost every goal he scored was deflected in was ridiculous. The guy is and was a fantastic footballer don't get me wrong but he was never better than Stevie, or better than alot of attacking midfielders in europe, Nedved, Seedorf, even Iniesta. But he isn't even good enough to lace Zidane's boots.

Teddy Sheringham - was a good good player, but no way near as good as the english media wanking made him out to be.

Darren Anderton - how the hell he got so many England caps I don't know.

Chris Sutton - he always scuffed his shots, scored a few for Blackburn and Chelsea, but not all that good not a clean striker of the ball.

How can you possibly put De Gea in the same bracket as Reina, Casillas and Valdes?

On this season's form he is clearly in the same bracket at them, he and Valdes have been the best goalkeepers in La Liga this year by a mile.

Agreed. Valdes is a brilliant keeper, very underrated everywhere because nobody other than Casillas will ever play for Spain, and "Barcas defence is shit"
