He really is a bit underrated, and I'll hold my hand up on that account as well.

Class goalkeeper.

best on the planet

Agreed. I find his sweeping exceptional too.

It's usually the same argument against him all top clubs goalkeepers face, people say they aren't tested enough. I don't really buy into that though and I think Valdes still suffers from his patchy early Barca career. Casillas has been below his best for a good few seasons now yet doesn't get half the criticism Valdes gets.

Great keeper, not the best in the world though

Eh ehmm Casillas vs Atlético this season, Sevilla last season and there are a way more games, Valdés is nowhere near Casillas.

Oh, well Casillas at his peak is much better obviously, he's better than anyone in the world on form. But...he's been pretty shaky a number of times over the past few years, too much for me. Valdes has been in better form imo.

Casillas is better than Valdez but Reina is better than both.
