The Brad Guzan Depreciation thread.

[OCD]

All hail the great and powerful Guz.

[Olof's Beard]

World class.  I would not swap him for any other keeper in the league, as I said on the match thread.  Player of the Year in spite of our pathetic defensive records, ticks every box.  Very likeable sort of chap too, full of positive energy.

I have so much man love for Brad. I just said in the match thread that watching him in the second half (I sit Lower North) is like looking in a mirror. I've never known a Villa keeper that seems to care as much as he does. And those saves in the first half! I love you Brad.

Has to be our player of the season surely? Benteke can be content with young player of the season.

[not3bad]

Player of the season, no question.

[SW9-VILLA]

His save at the start of the game today was world class. He is a titan.

[Toronto Villa]

When you talk of a spine it starts with the goalkeeper. We a set in that position for many years to come now. It will be much harder keeping Benteke off course, but if we can along with a solid CB and CM we will be in very stable position. Guzan has been a revelation. There is no other way to view it.

Love him.

Ridiculous he's been second choice to Given, he's just a much better all round keeper.

Given has lost his agility over the last 18 months, there's no way he would've sprung across goal and kept out the early Samba header for instance.

Can't some photoshop wizard make him Superman? He has been sensational this season, our best keeper since Bosnich.

I think it's a sign of how good he's become that I, for one, wasn't at all surprised by it. Brilliant, utterly brilliant. Long may he reign!

Just makes the signing of Given seem more absurd each game he plays, doesn't he? Not that I thought Given was too bad a signing at the time, but that contract......

[PaulWinch again]

Genuinely one of the best goalkeepers in the league now.

[SoccerHQ]

I'd love to have seen Guzan play behind a defence of the standard we had in say 07-08 when we still conceded loads of goals with Carson in there.

[PaulMcGrathsNo5Shirt]

I honestly wouldn't swap him for any keeper in the world. The guy clearly loves the Villa too. Isn't it true as well that he's on less money now than his previous spell?

[Big Dick Edwards]

Benteke gets all the headlines because he's a goalscorer but I agree, Guzan is Player of the Season for me.
