Finnish goalkeeper Jaaskelainen 1997 joined Bolton for 654.38+million pounds, becoming an important pillar of Bolton's defence. His steady and magical performance made him one of the top goalkeepers in the Premier League. Now Newcastle manager Al Daisy thinks Jaaskelainen is one of the three best goalkeepers in the Premier League (the other two are Edwin van der Sar and Petr Cech). In the 2006-2007 season, in the match between Blackburn and Bolton, the home team scored 2 1 and made 9 direct shots, all of which were cleared by Jaaskelainen. Even more amazing, he actually saved two penalty kicks in a row.
Jaaskelainen's state has been quite stable, with a strong sense of position, accurate judgment of cross passing, and rarely misses. His reaction speed is amazing. In the league, he has repeatedly staged a good show of holding the opponent's powerful header against the crossbar and continuously saving the opponent's shot.
In the summer of 2007, Jaaskelainen chose not to renew his contract with the team, and Manchester United, Arsenal, Newcastle and Villa all showed interest in him. Jaaskelainen is likely to leave Bolton in 2008.
