On a normal day,Abbiati is good keeper.Nothing world class.But he was great for us.But still,i wouldnt like him at Juventus again because i dont think he's someone who can install confidence in the entire team,which is something that a great keeper should be able to do.He's prone to the occasionaly howler here and there,and to me he's another version of Dida playing at a lesser club.
My thoughts exactly. A keeper must fill his defenders with confidence. Abbiati is good, he has good reflexes, he can make those unbelieveable saves every now and then, but he can also blunder just as much. He's unreliable in air and too many times has decided to go box a ball away, one which he should have cought with his arms. He simply doesn't have that security in himself, that commanding effect, the thing that makes a keeper great.
If we have to replace Buffon, it has to be of a goal keeper with either the experience or potential to replace Gigi long term.
Abbiati isnt that man imho, merely a stop gap.
We need an italian goalie, and that would have to unfortunately be Amelia....but id take the risk on Mirante over wasting our time on Cassialas

yeah i agree.
but there are several Italian goalies who are good.
and Abbiati is not very calming but he played well for us when he was here and showed he has the talent.
I like Cudicini and he would not be too expensive .. Amelia and roma are options too
for international goalies Sebastian Vieira would be great. or the celtic goalie i guess.
The celtic goalie is polish so he would not take up a non eu spot too so i don't see much difference between him and a good italian keeper.
no one comes close to gigi so we have to get the best possible option.

true but he made his share of saves and while he made mistakes I don't think he deserved all the bashing he gets. he is humble and seems like a nice guy who is a good keeper when on form and given a lengthy run in the team.
Buffon makes him look like he has downsyndrom ok ... but Gigi can do that to anyone
