    i find ppl really underate Valdes
    top class keeper
    Buffon would be the best for me
    Part of the problem is he has so little to do at times that he won't often stand out.

    true
    but he saves a lot of 1 on 1's at vital times

    Hart
    Casillas & Buffon have been the most outstanding keepers in the world for a long time. I voted for Casillas in the end.

    I'd say for around 3 seasons, Cech was right up there too in Mourinho's Chelsea era, but he just isn't the same as he was.

    Also, I know he 79 this year, and is a million miles away from being "the best keeper in the world", but on his day, Brad Friedel is a f*cking wall.

    Hart
    People suggesting Joe Hart is the best keeper in the world, gave me a good giggle if nothing else. The man isn't even the best stopper in England.

    It's a tossup between Buffon, Casillas, Neuer and Lloris. Buffon was number 1 for a long time, but Casillas has now claimed that crown.

    Steklenburg at Roma also deserves a mention, as does Julio Cesar.

    Hart
    Forget the fact that he is awful under crosses, has poor positioning, and has limper wrists than Elton John.

    Hart is english. None of the other guys on the list are english. Don't you know this makes him the best? ;)

    Remember when John O' Shea went in goals for United a couple of seasons ago?
    He played great. :D

    Hart
    Casillas for me, I really hope the people voting for Hart are WUMs/Trolls.

    Hart
    Genuinely shocked that anyone doesn't think it's either Casillas or Buffon. Like I understand how for outfield players it's easy to favour different types and have different opinions, Roandlo vs. Messi, Gerrard vs. Lampard, but keepers are a relatively simple type of player to judge.

    Hart? Valdes? De Gea? Come on.

    This has to be a joke?

    No it isn't. Hart is better at handling crosses, De Gea is a better shot stopper. I think that De Gea is getting an incredibly hard time from the press and a raw deal from Fergie. Any mistake he makes is jumped on.

    The reality with Hart is that there is a huge media push to name him best in the world. His mistakes aren't highlighted as much as anyone else's, the Real match is a case in point. Anyway, like I've said before, no English player remains a media darling forever so I expect this to change soon enough.

    Just badly beaten at his near post. I don't rate him in this company at all.

    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.

    What's a prolific goalkeeper? :confused:

    Buffon
    I don't think Hart is yet, but I think he will be at some stage in his life. Probably Casillas right now for me.

    I like the Stoke keeper Begovic I think he is very under rated and is up there with the best.

    Would say the best is Buffon tho, his defence seems to ooze confidence when hes between the sticks.
