Gianluigi Buffon (72 Viewers)

[icemaη]

Buffon is just going through a bad injury phase. Once he gets over it (and we get a fucking defense for a change) he's gonna be back to what he was. Right now, he's not the best in the world when it comes to form. But the talent is there and that doesn't disappear overnight.

Does anyone agree that Given is better than Cech?

I do but I'm not exactly impartial.

 

[Ahmed]

people are forgetting that he was immense in the first third of the season, saved our ass umpteen number of times...

why, are you sick?

Close. He's Irish.

Yes, Buffon is the best goalkeeper in the world.

Casillas and Cech don't quite cut it, same goes for Julio Cesar. He's been better than those two, but still not convincing enough to say he's better than Buffon.

Other than those 3, who really challanges Buffon?

Shay's the shit

Ah yes, Given.

He's a great goalkeeper, very underrated, but not quite Buffon.

I have to say, Given is the best GK in the Premier League, and I have been saying this even when he was at Newcastle. Shows you don't have to have a top defence to be a top keeper.

I did say Casillas wasn't a worthy challenger.
As for the quatifying part, I'm not on about castrol rankings or whatever, I just don't know how you calculate Gigi to be the worlds best keeper on a hypothetical situation.
And as for over a period of time yes Gigi has been the best, but is he the best right now. I didn't hear people say that about Schmicheal when he was playing his days out at city.

The same way they classify clubs, NTs, players...etc..

If you don't think The International Federation of Football History and Statistics is worthy of classifying who the best GK is, then I don't think there's anything that would excpet you watching some of his incredible and match/trophy saving saves.

He's better than Cech right now. I'd say he's the best in the prem aswell. Some people will probably put Reina forward, but he's not that good.

That Villarreal keeper (Lopez?) is very good too.

You're right, that's why he gave the finger to Newcastle to save his career after another humiliation from Pool. 5-1 IIRC.

Diego Lopéz.

Given has been consistently good for a number of years now. Very underrated. City getting him for 8 million was a steal.

 

[The Curr]

Diego Lopéz.

Yes, that's the one. How could I forget that? The most stereotypical Spanish name since Pedro Rodríguez.

Still, my statement stands imo.

Buffon > any goalie.

steal? more like a rape.
