Not because I'm an Arsenal fan but Alexandre Song has come leaps and bounds in the last year. Very good player, does a lot of hard work for players around him.

Huddlestone (once he's up to it) is one of the best passers in the game, lading ball on your big toe. Just that he's not consistent and probbaly why he may have the uder rated tag.

James Milner
Scott Parker
Bobby Zamora

Jimmy Bullard

Big player.  Very skillful, and good at free kicks.  If only he could stay healthy, to give Capello more of a selection headache.

the debate will always be there about if someone is underrated or not but i'll throw a name out there of someone who has won awards and some acclaim but not enough imo:

jussi jaaskelainen

havent seen him a lot this season but the last few seasons when i've seen him he's looked spectacular. on a better team, he'd be mentioned in best world goalie talks more often.

Another option that Arsenal should look into, cause Almunia is pure crap when it comes to crosses.

Bullard and Jaaskelainen is some big players..

two other men I hadda give credit is Phil Jagielka and Danny Gabbidon solely because they make shitongs like Joleon Lescott and Anton Ferdinand (respectively) look like great central defenders for a whole EPL season.

Jaaskelainen is a boss... he just have the misfortune of playing with mediocre sides, club and international.

Jayerson, speaking of Arsenal...  Tomas Rosicky.  Honestly I think he gets his due, but might be flying under the radar given his history of injuries, they've conspired to keep him inconsistent.  Watching him in qualification this past Fall though it appears he's back in form, he was far and away the best player on that Czech Republic side.

Jussi Jaaskelainen is the immediate name that came to mind, but I see on this forum he is definitely not underrated.  :beermug:
