i think he's a great keeeper but he performs bad.
So after playing the whole season infront of a god damn crappy defence do u think he can still be at his best, we conceded like 5-6 offside break away to the other team each game. I need to ask the guy who start the thread has he played goalie before??? if not he should not be be saying anyting. If u have a STEADY defense infront of u, is hell lot easier for u to make decision and CONCETRAteD. When u have a damn defense like US THIS SEASON where the damn defender r so awuful that they r so inconsisnet each match (positioning, and decision making)that they can't even predict themself. How cna the goalie predict what his D will do.
Example
Mr. Never came back thuram -- the goalie expect the D to clear the ball far out after a terrible give away, but he heads it to a roma player infront of him and results SCORES!!!! and his slow pace getting back on Defense after going up in attack needs to be blame
Mr. Santa Montero(break away giver), how many times he let a player go pass him in each match??? no need to mention which games haha and again horrible give away
Mr. Confident Lego -- his bad position always let the fw sneaks in and again and again horrible give away.
sure this is not a good season for Buffon but so what we all know is not his fault and this would be an excellent experience for the YOUNG keeper. He still got 6-7 yrs or more playing. U LEARN FROM MISTAKE. So after a bad season for the club and u sell ur best kepper in the league and problaly in the world , then i can only say "how idiot r u guys. "
So i heard so many ppl r say Frey is lot better than buffon and that is totally BULL SHIT, he is the most consisently inconsisent goalie in the world. If he is so damn good why didn't he get call up by France?? in my memory he got no caps under his belt. And have Parma won against big team this years?? Frey just horrible when playing in an important game. I guess u all Frey fans don't know how Parma got kick out in the UEAF cup this season. and i wonder who is playing infront of Frey. lets give them montero and we get ferreri and see what will happen. That just says it all.
So whats the point of getting a goalie when he can't win us a big game. Example -- INter goal thrash all the shity team last season but so what , once they r playing the top teams, they can't even tie. That won't win u any championship.
Classic Example of Good Keeper that can't win in big matches
-- frey, howard, cudicini ( look at the arsenal Games for his last minute stuipd mistake, and there r 2-3 more that cost chelsea the W) , sereni <--(how many times he voted the worst keeper in the wk)and pppl says we can use him as starter , thats a laugh)
And by the way , any ppl remember who is "Van der Sar" haha he was not a bad kepper, if u compare him to ....... but did he win us any champiomship ??? SORRY NOPE!! BECAUSE he make costly mistake at costly time.. Anyone still remmber that r.baggio goal. That cost us the scudetto. and that wasn't the only one.
my point here is "In order to win cups and championship we need a keeper that can win us a big games and dont ' do any costly mistake" and there r not that many out there. and thats why buffon is recongnize as one of the best in the world.
other keeper that is as good as buffon
- Didar
- pagliuca <-- why r Bologna r call the giant killer
- toldo - matches against valencia (last yr CL) and last european champ says it all and lot of others
- canizares - an excellent keeper and aging is a big factor

cannot lift the team up when theyre down.
Who give us a chance to win the game against real madrid, deportivo last year in CL??? Who help us beat milan in turin last yr?? we help us win against Bologna/ udinese(forgot) when we r 1-0 down and end up winning 3-1 with 3 goals in last 10 min. U need to watch those games again.
The whole team is having problem this yr, no just the keeper. Foward can't score at open net, mid can't make passes and control the ball, the D just awful.
