villa4europe Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 So jamie redknapp (I know...) just declared him the best goal keeper ever It's a bit daft to making big claims, but by the time he actually hangs up his gloves he might not be far wrong IMO It'd be schmeichel and Buffon he's up against for me, neuer seems a better footballer (but not necessarily keeper) than both of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 best keeper at one on ones in the world, proved it at World Cup and showed again tonight. his passing is no Guzan though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 as for best keeper its hard to decide, for me the best keeper in last 15 years was Van Der Sar, he was a good footballer, one of the first modern sweeper keepers and he rarely made any mistakes except maybe sign for Fulham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Buffon. Taffarel. Campos. Scmeichel. Van den Sar. One of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted May 6, 2015 Moderator Share Posted May 6, 2015 Best keeper I've seen was Schmeichel. Of the rest, on reputation, you've got the usuals like Lev Yashin, Pat Jennings & Peter Enckelman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 He probably is the best ever but you can't discount the great goalkeepers from the past like Yashin, Banks, and Zoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted May 6, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted May 6, 2015 He's comfortably the best in the world right now. As for ever? Like any position its impossible to really tell. He's not better than Schmeichel in my opinion, and he's the best I've seen play regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG_Villa_Fan Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Best keeper at the moment, no doubt. Ever? Impossible to tell. He's definitely got a long way to go to even reach Kahn's status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Schmeichel, Schmeichel, Schmeichel!!! NO, NO, NO. He was a great keeper, but year after year after year, he proved that he couldn't set up a simple wall and NOT hide behind it against FK's. He almost cost Utd the CL in 99 because of his shit wall building. He should be considered as a top rate GK, but the best ever? That's a Skysports/PL era thing.. Buffon has been better than him for a much longer period of time. He was an amazing shot stopper, and due to his size and frame an intimidating guy. Plus he was very aggressive, but his distribution and his FK stopping were really, really underwhelming for a supposedly top class keeper. In fact, I'd have to say Khan was a better keeper.

Stevo985 Posted May 7, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted May 7, 2015 Can't agree. I'd rate Schmeichel and Khan as better than Buffon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Definitely not the 'best ever', not yet anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
