Not really true though. If this polls were done during the time when we had 'The Fat Aussie' & 'The Italian who played only 5 games' I'm sure they won't be getting any votes at all
Edited. Hated him for being arrested on the day we signed him and I'm conviced we signed him because of the cheapskate Martin Edwards don't wanna spend on VDS or Buffon.
Wall Taibi played a stormer in his first game against us! I'm sure that lone is worth a few votes . Bosnich was actually one of my favourite keepers while he was as Villa. Then he became a druggie.

Taibi record. Played 4 Conceded 11. Nuff Said. One of the goals conceded is the embarrasment by Le Tissier. The whole stadium went quiet.
BTW, we won the game against Liverpool only because of the 2 own goals by you know who, not because of Taibi.
Definitely would have to be Buffon in my books. The main thing about good goal keeper is about consistency and be ready when call upon. Buffon definitely fit all of those criteria and plus he has prove over a period of time since his day with Parma right to the International stage.
the current boltan GK... from Oman.. al habsi or something...has been performing well since JJ's injury... wat u all say about him?
He came with much promise. There was a bit of him in the press if you remember but he had to wait for a fair while before getting his chance. I must say that as not many Asian's play their trade in the Premiership, i was rather hoping to see him in action but it isn't easy displacing a keeper as good as Jaaskelainen. Al Habsi was a little shaky in his first game but has since been immense. A big tall strong goalkeeper by stature with apparently, rather good reflexes to boot. If he maintains his form, I see him displacing his Finnish counterpart next season.

Francisco Guillermo Ochoa Magaña (born July 13, 1985 in Guadalajara, Jalisco) popularly nicknamed "Memo", is a Mexican international football goalkeeper who currently plays for Club América in the Primera División de México. He received his first-ever nomination for the Ballon D'or in 2007.
At the age of 18, under Dutch coach Leo Beenhakker, Ochoa made his debut with Club América, during the Clausura 2004 tournament against CF Monterrey. Ochoa quickly showed his skill and potential, and the young goalkeeper who was thrust into the spotlight to replace injured veteran Adolfo Rios soon shared the starting job with Rios after he recovered from his aforementioned injury. When the Apertura 2004 season began, Ochoa was thought to be the heir apparent to Ríos, who had retired. However, new coach Oscar Ruggeri brought new goalkeepers with him, among them Argentine standout Diego Sebastian Saja and veteran Ricardo Martinez. Soon after, Ochoa was benched by Ruggeri.
Ruggeri's stay at the club was marred by controversy and unpopular decisions. He was fired after only six games into the season and Ochoa was soon reinstated by new coach Mario Carrillo. Since then, along with club and international teammate José Antonio Castro, he has started every game for Club América barring incidents involving injuries or national team duty. Under Carrillo, Ochoa won his first championship with America following the Clausura 2005 season. Now being the 3rd best goalkeeper in the world.
Ochoa debuted with the Mexican team vs Hungary in a friendly match held in the United States. He debuted alongside young talented players like Andrés Guardado. At the age of 20, He was called by Mexico's former coach Ricardo LaVolpe for the 2006 FIFA World Cup as the third choice goalkeeper. After the World Cup new appointed coach Hugo Sánchez has also asked for Guillermo Ochoa's services as the 2nd or sometimes 1st choice goalkeeper for Mexico. Ochoa also participated in the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup, and he participated in the 2007 Copa America, having an impressive debut with a clean sheet against Brazil. He made his second appearance in the 2007 Copa América, also shutting out Chile.
