Valencia CF players 2011/12 season ratings

Here are the ratings for all players over the season. Note that I failed to watch and/or rate the players at all matches, so this year the ratings aren't as telling for the players performance as last year. Also remember that some players have played only one or few games, so high score with few games doesn't mean anything.

Still though its a pretty good measurement and I will be taking these ratings, statistical data, other ratings and deep analysis to come up with the best player this season.

I've also put up a poll to gauge the public opinion on who is the best player and so far the poll results are very equal.

Andres Guardado travels to Valencia

Spanish website Joranda reports that Andres Guardado has been given time off to come to Valencia. While not certainly known the exact reasons, it is widely believed that he has come to Valencia CF to finish up the last details of his contract with Valencia CF.

It was reported for more than half a year now that Guardado has signed a contract with Valencia CF and that he'd join the team first thing, so the fact that he has traveled to Valencia is not surprising.

Adnres Guarado's contract with Deportivo La Coruna officially expires on 30 June, so therefore he probably can not become a Valencia CF player earlier. So far it is looking certain that he has indeed finalized any details about his contract and is a safe bet that he'll become a Valencia CF player in a month or two.

Valencia CF interested in Raul Garcia

Rumors are flying is Spain that Valencia CF is interested in Raul Gracia who was playing for on loan for Osasuna this season, but is owned by Atletico Madrid. Raul Gracia was considered big talent few years back and Valencia CF lost the bid to get him to Atletico Madrid, but he hasn't shown the kind of games Atletico expected from him and with the arrival of few new players last season they loaned him out.

He's so far excelled at Osasuna and seems Valencia CF is interested of acquiring his services or maybe Valencia CF is playing this tactically trying to lover the cost of Borja Valero who Valencia CF also wants to sign.

Valencia CF season 2012/13 dress introduced

Valencia CF officially introduced the new season 2012/13 dress. The new dress is white with 4 thin black stripes around it at the front, nice looking V at the neck piece and the sponsors are nicely implemented. The shorts are black with white stripes at the bottom and the socks are white with thick black stripes at the top.

Overall the dress is looking good and especially the shirt. We have yet to see how the away dress will look and the third dress, if there is a third dress that is.
