Who is the best goalkeeper in the world?

I've had this debate with a friend who is convinced Joe Hart is the best. I think thats nonsense. Its hard to pick but Casillas, Neuer and Buffon are the three most consistent i've seen over the last season or so, I think it's between them.

GavRedKing · 06-10-2012 05:46PM

Joe Hart has a long way to go before hes considered as good ss Buffon / Casillas but hr certainly has the ability.

I voted other though.....Cech.

Prick! · 06-10-2012 05:48PM

Reina, because he can fill in as senior entertainments officer too

wandatowell · 06-10-2012 05:50PM

No love for Mannone?

The_Kew_Tour · 06-10-2012 05:50PM

Neuer

Honestly I really dont know the answer.

Buffon was the best on his day from list, but not as prolific now.

whoever is picked I think is not much ahead of anyone else.

Pinturicchio · 06-10-2012 05:51PM

Neuer

Definitely Buffon. He has honestly been as good as ever recently.

Giggsy11 · 06-10-2012 05:55PM

Neuer

Voted for Buffon. Casillas is excellent GK but he has made may mistakes for which he never gets criticized for whatever reasons. IMO Buffon is the best GK.

Don't watch enough football from outside UK and Ireland to know for definite. Voted Other for Cech, probably is Buffon but only see him in odd Champions League game. Hart is as prone to mistakes as everyone, rarely looks solid in an England shirt.

Off Topic but one for the future is definitely going to be Jack Butland (although hes not exactly proving it at the moment)

Turtyturd · 06-10-2012 06:05PM

Valdes

No Suarez?

Think it's Neuer myself, could have argued for Cech a few years ago but he has been on the decline for a few years.

Washington Irving · 06-10-2012 06:09PM

Jose Enrique

Neuer

The Hart thing is a bit weird to me. He has made mistakes in his career and is clearly not the finished article yet but people are pushing for him to be held up as the best.

I don't think he is much better than De Gea but he seems to get away with a lot in the media. I do pity him a bit. When it comes to the English press, what goes up must come down.

djPSB · 06-10-2012 06:13PM

Hart

Valdes shouldn't be anywhere near that list.

Oat23 · 06-10-2012 06:16PM

Hart

So far this season Adler has been the best keeper anywhere in my opinion, and when he is at his best I think he is better than Neuer.

Still Casillas for me though.

eagle eye · 06-10-2012 06:18PM

Hart

Its been Casillas for me for a good long time now and he is still at the same level and I haven't seen anybody more consistent. I thought Neuer might the man but he has not been great in a couple of games I've seen over the last six months.

Rekop dog · 06-10-2012 06:18PM

Awful list. On consistency it's Handanovic, 8/10 or > every game, but again such an ignorant list!

Ignorant list? Get the **** over yourself, I added ''other'' for a reason.

MaroonAndGreen · 06-10-2012 06:22PM

Valdes

I voted Neuer, Im annoyed Cech is not taking Valdes place on that list though..

CantGetNoSleep · 06-10-2012 06:24PM

Valdes

Where is Julio Cesar?

Oat23 · 06-10-2012 06:27PM

Hart

Playing for QPR, which explains why he isn't on the list.

You shouldn't start a thread when you don't have near a broad enough knowledge to comment on said topic.

Are you claiming to be a know-it-all?

padd b1975 · 06-10-2012 06:41PM

Neuer

I voted Buffon.

Casillas loses out because of his pretty ordinary handling skills.

Pinturicchio · 06-10-2012 06:47PM

Neuer

QPR, for a reason. About 3 years ago he was in the top three in the world IMO.

Vurnon San Benito · 06-10-2012 06:49PM

Joe Hart shouldn't really make that list either IMO. Still a huge amount to learn.

Probably Buffon for me, needs no explanation.

As for Valdes being on that list, you might as well have stuck in Massimo Taibi.

What business would Cech have on such a list?

Anyone voting for valdes, like those who vote for the green party, should have their right to vote removed

klose · 06-10-2012 07:06PM

Hart

Cech up till his injury was on course to being the best in the world, still a great keeper now don't get me wrong. I'd say casillas, neurer is so good at such a young age for a keeper now too.

Fowler87 · 06-10-2012 07:09PM

There's a young keeper in Germany meant to be as highly rated as Neaur. Stergen I think his name is.

Morzadec · 06-10-2012 07:13PM

I don't think Joe Hart is out of place on this list. He's the full package imo. Strong in all areas.

It's hard to say. Buffon in his prime was the best but I don't see enough of him now to comment. He had a solid euros so obviously still has a lot of ability.

Spanish and English leagues are the only ones I watch and at the moment, from what I've seen, Hart is the standout performer of those two leagues.

It's probably too soon to put him ahead of the others, but don't think it's a ridiculous claim to say he's the best out there.

Give him another year or 2 before judging him in these terms but he's well on his way and he could be the best in the world.

Sanity_Saviour · 06-10-2012 07:18PM

Buffon

No it isn't.

And no it's not.

Gordon Stewart of Tynefield City aka 'The Safest Hands in Soccer' gets my vote.
