Demitri_C Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 wtf is sorensen doing on that list?! he was awful. The reason mate is his length of service at the club, he was our number 1 for a significant period. spink wasnt our keeper in premier league hence why he has not been featured in this debate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisVillan Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Bosnich got my vote pretty easily but I'm very pleased to have Guzan in goal for us. All the makings of a top-drawer goalkeeper. The discussion on previous pages about his kicking got me thinking about something I'd not noticed before about Guzan. I generally agree distribution has been a problem, not so much that he can't play a brilliant long pass or even throw the ball out well, but too often he does neither and gives up possession one way or another (less so lately, happily). But his kicking under pressure, backpasses and so on...just not an issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 absolutely chris, i garee with guzzys kicking. i would say out of the four sorensen was the poorest, but the squad was fairly poor in compaison to our current squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Bosnich was a great shot stopper and penalty saver but his goal kicks were **** awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Guzan. The guy has had any combination of Hutton, Lowton, Clark, Baker, Herd, Vlaar, Senderos, Okore, Luna, Bennett, Cissokho, Richardson in extremely varying degrees of form in front of him. **** that for a laugh. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody1000 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Schmeichel, Seaman, Cech and Bosnich are the 4 most iconic goalkeepers in premiership history in that order imo. Its funny how in this thread Guzan has now become one of the most overrated villa players. A brilliant keeper who i wouldnt swap for anyone in the premiership other than Courtious, Cech and De Gea but better then Bosnich, Friedel and James?! Give over.

MrDuck Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Bosnich was a class above the rest of them. Brilliant keeper while at VIlla. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 i dont think bosnich is a class above guzan to be honest. i think bosnich had a great defence around him, while guzan doesnt. i think there really isnt much in it between bosnich and guzzy. but one of my favourite moments of all times was bosnich penalty save against tranmere. that moment won us the cup even though it was a semi final. what a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Brad "no goal for you" Guzan is the best out of those four at saving penalties. Bosnich was exceptional as well.. the 93/94 season, he saved the majority he faced. He saved 2 in a game at Tottenham, which made it 5 out of 5 saved to that point in the season Plus the 3 Tranmere penalty saves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 You sure about that ? Erm yes, the premier league was formed in february 1992 and bosnich became our our consistent keeper from the 1993-94 season, so you cant judge spink on one season. as i stated in opening thread from since premier league was formed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Jimmy Rimmer. Although out of this list Bosnich was the best. The best goalkeeper we have had is without doubt Jimmy Rimmer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanted to know who people think is our best keeper since the Premier League was formed then you should have qualified that at the end of your comment. So for me it is Jimmy Rimmer.

smetrov Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) Does anyone remember that Bosnish - I think it was v coventry - basically the player took a shot - bozzie dived - but the shot then took a wicked deflection - and was bound for goal with Bozzie diving the other way - mid flight he stuck a foot out and booted the ball away... Applause roared from the Holte End - which Bozzie gratefully accepted.. Edited December 24, 2014 by smetrov 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
