Casillas and Given looks so good because their back four not very good defensively. They have to the job week in week out because of that. And they also look so good because of their size. They're not too tall compare to the like of Cech or VDS. Small size keeper looks nice when they make a save because they have to stretch and dive acrobatically. While the giant size goal keeper rarely stretch.

look at the poll, brother.... Van der Sar is leading...

Fact doesn't lie!!!!

He is the best keeper... end of.

Fact is that MU is having the most fans in Low Yat Net.

Well...our back 4 isn't as bad as ppl think actually...the English media likes to underrate our defending. Even Barca ain't that solid defensively but u don't see Valdes' name being thrown ard as one of the best

Madrid-bad defending superb saves
Barce-bad defending, blunders from Victor Valdes

this one is great, i remember watching him play for valencia about 10 years ago
but i still remember his blunder in wc1998, spain lost to nigeria 1-3

if u can read properly u should b able to note that i was joking there actually. too bad for some1 unable to get it n seem to take it personal n serious.

n do u hav any idea abt how old is Gigi actually ? talk abt self-pwning.

as for conceded 22 goals in Serie B - yeah big deal. so u judge a player by merely looking at the stats ?

You must remember; Juve has got the great super defender Jean-Alain Boumsong.

To be honest; as a Fulham fan; Van der Sar is past his prime. This season and the last; he's looked terribly weak, especially at range. Still solid at near range, but very poor against ranged shots. You should have seen him when he first played for Fulham. That's the Van Der Sar his reputation was built on.

dude, this thread is Your Favourite Current Goalkeeper

not the world best goalie

i rate Bruce Grobbelaar as the best keeper i've ever seen. Peter Schmeichel come second. I like Peter Schmeichel bcos he has a great leadership character in defence. But both of them are retired.
The current best keeper i think should be Petr Cech, no doubt. Van Der Sar is a good keeper but he makes a lot of mistakes and can't hold fierce shot. I like Gigi Buffon and Andres Palop, they are good.

more about gigi buffon here..

why didnt you include idris kameni...carlos idris kameni..palying for espanyol..he is a good goalkeeper what

friedal also very good...

So Pepe must be receiving a lot of votes lately.

VDS of course

oh come on, not that i hav something against u or wanna offend u, but frankly speaking i think for someone to get piss-off by that line is juz kinda narrow-minded. not that i had dished out a truck load of insults to MU or what.

n i never say anything abt Italians are the best, bla bla bla... did i ever said that ? even if i did said that, that will b my own opinion. whats the difference with many who claim that someone in their team is the best of something ?

well lets get over it shall we ? this 'debate' is really unnecessary.

yes, surely
forget the past
thats my opinion too

i actually think Barthez had a purple patch in his career (for France and his first 2 seasons at MU) then it was gone. so world class is over a period of time
