INFO (2009-2010 stats):
Quite easily the most improved goalkeeper of the season so far, Valdes is finally putting in performances which justify a place in the national team. But most importantly, Valdes is finally getting over the errors, the dreadful positioning, and, combined with his insane reflex saves, and great diving, he is now becoming a powerful presence in the Spanish league. A really class keeper, Victor Valdes.
***
Defence: The big improvement area. Valdes actually knows how to position himself now, and do it well.
Balance: Strongish for a goalie, but you can tell he's not that big...
Speed: Fast for a keeper, very fast. But not as fast as some, like Casillas.
Response: Oh yes. The big plus for Valdes, the difference between him and Casillas is minor here, and there is no difference between him and Cech in terms of reflex saves, only that...
GK Skills: He can't handle it as well. In fact, no-where near as well as Cech. Or Casillas. Or James (
). Valdes has strengthened here, but it's still not that great...Aggression: YES!!!! He's finally learned not to rush off the line like an idiot!!! And a total idiot, for that matter... Much improved (last year I would have given him 70, such was his ridiculous tendency to fly off the line, even when the ball was at the other end...).
