Best keeper in 'The big four'

[Juventino]

Cech is overrated. If he played in any other league he would be viewed only as a decent keeper.

[adriano10]

Cech..... if you're gonna talk mistakes, give the guy credit.... he's made the last of all of them in the past season or 2....

and his ability alone is better than the other 3.... plus, Van der Sar can't kick!

hahaha, at Almunia, there's mid table sides with better keepers - Friedel, Howard, Schwarzer

[Piola]

Its van der Sar. No bias from me. Cech comes second.

agree but he is better than the other 3.

VDS couldn't keep a fucken balloon out of Juve's goals

[Madridista612]

agree but he is better than the other 3.

VDS couldn't keep a shiraz balloon out of Juve's goals

so cause he had 2 bad seasons or so out of... 17 seasons?

hes not that good?

ok

[Azz]

cech has age on his side with relfexes and speed, but ever since the head collision he doesnt seem to have as much confidence coming out for crosses imo lose the headgear and he will regain his confidence.

van der sar reads the play better from his years of top level football but age is starting to catch up considering they are talking about him being gk coach at united therefore he is on the way out. Foster will take his place and you guys wont even remember vds.

bring back big nev i say....

james had a better year than all top 4 keepers was called on alot more and proved his worth

and completely agree with oldredback he knows what is going on

[Piola]

think the question should be how they match up to keepers of clubs in other leagues

I've picked the best 5. If I am wrong in terms of EPL and La Liga, then correct me cause I dont have much idea.

Serie A is my own opinion, I rate Carrizo highly based on his reputation and the highlights I've seen. None of the Milanese rate a mention because they bring Italian goalkeeping into disrepute with their inconsistency.

England - VDS, Cech, Reina, James, Gomes
Italy - Julio Cesar, Frey, Doni, Carrizo, Buffon,
Spain - Casillas, Valdes, Hildebrand, Coupet, Palop

[Le King]

at there best id say cech... fkn awesome keeper
but ova the last 3 yrs id say VDS! hes pulled off sum massive saves, id neva 4get that 1 at anfield 2 yrs ago when he somehow pulled that save outta his ass from crouches volley... that save won us the title i rkn

Not Valdes....Diego Lopez instead.

haha and the rest, he was fucken shit for fulham as well!!!!!!

that mistake against us in 03/04 i'll never forget. Tried to dribble Reyes, but he fucken got licked

[ruud]

are u fkn joking me?

he was shit for fulham? he made 1 mistake vs reyes and that was it

thats why man utd signed him i guess... cause he played shit?

errrrrrrrrr

[delfino_1936]

are u shiraz joking me?

he was cabernet for fulham? he made 1 mistake vs reyes and that was it

thats why man utd signed him i guess... cause he played cabernet?

errrrrrrrrr

no cause they were in desperate need for a short term fill in. He had experience at international and UCL level, he seemed a good replacement.

Even fergie said it was just a short term fix up
but credit where it's due

he's stepped up well for the USA. I'll give him that

[Madridista612]

It's not like he didn't win a Champions League with Ajax or anything. Surely he must be crap if he did that.

[crouchy15]

theyve all got different qualities
cech i think WAS the best but now im not so sure
reina is good but is a little inconsistent
its between reina and VDS
reina will be better as he matures but VDS is the best for now

[totsreds08]

in a few years time it will be
reina: he will be at his peak
cech: won't be as good and will be past it soon..he gets injured too much
vds: he will be in a retirement home
almunia: if he is still playing, he will be in a shit league like turkey or greece

[delfino_1936]

vds: he will be in a retirement home
almunia: if he is still playing, he will be in a cabernet league like turkey or greece

Arsene wouldn't have any intention of selling him until 2010-2011 i'd say.

Fabianski is coming through and he'll be number one in 3 years

yeah something like that. He has a couple of good years left in him. Remember he has been at the club since 04/05

[totsreds08]

will almunia still be first choice when he is 33..i reckon fabianski will be first choice in the next 2 seasons

[delfino_1936]

will almunia still be first choice when he is 33..i reckon fabianski will be first choice in the next 2 seasons

i don't mind cause i rate both keepers as decent enough keepers

[Le King]

in a few years time it will be
reina: he will be at his peak and still chasin an epl and cl trophy
cech: won't be as good and will be past it soon..he gets injured too much
vds: he will be in a retirement home where he will look at his winners medals everyday
almunia: if he is still playing, he will be in a cabernet league like turkey or greece

VDS
Reina
Cech
Almunia
