Hello, I just wanted to say that I feel that Rubén Baraja is on of the most underrated players in Europe. Im from the UK and went to see Valencia -vs- Majorca (they thumped them 3-0 and the goals were in front of me FANTASTIC!) and Baraja was outstanding (apart from maybe Aimar ... but hes just a class act). Baraja I say is onr of Europe's top 'complete' midfielders and I would put him up there with the like of Vieira and Gerrard who also fit in theis category.

On a good day he can be up with the best, but he does tend to fade at times. He does have strong competition for the midfield spot though, and will probably not be a first choice for Aragonés in the World Cup.
