so you agree that Buffon worked wonders for Juventus and was crucial to their success.:rolleyes:
But I realllly hope your not implying that Juve's defensive 4 last year were that much better than Fiorentina's? which is the only thing I could think of with you making that statement.

all bullshit aside, it seems like that we both agree Buffon is the better goalkeeper... i think. And your just saying that Frey was more important to Fiorentina then Buffon was to Juventus... I'm not going to agree with that... I'm gonna say it again "Buffon is as an important keeper to Juventus as any keeper to any club in the world." and that includes Frey to Fiorentina and Cassilas to Real Madrid and I think Julio Cesar is not as important to Inter Milan but that fact doesn't automatically make him a bad keeper.

I never once denied what Buffon or Julio Cesar have done for their respective clubs. What everyone else has done is denied what Frey has done for Fiorentina. Anyone who has seen the majority of their games last season would know exactly what I am talking about. As I said previously you seem to keep getting confused between talent and form. Frey, over the last season, is ahead of both based on the latter.

And you gotta be kidding when you say Juves defence last year was WAY better then Fiorentinas, that's just outright wrong imo.

It has more to do than the defense but also the midfield and general style of play. Juventus usually played Zanetti and Nocerino/Sissoko in central midfield. That is as defensive as they come. Contrast that to Fiorentina who pushed their full-backs foward and played a more attacking 4-3-3 with only Liverani or Donadel sitting in central midfield. They played a far more open game which left Frey exposed.

If you really did watch Serie A you wouldn't even get into that argument. Julio Cesar had by far the higher number of difficult saves last season. Some situations he got his team out of were out of this world. I don't have any stat to back this up, I just watch the games every week, while you don't. I'm not gonna spend hours searching for numbers in the internet to prove something that anyone who cares to watch before commenting on forums would know.

You should not be questioning my knowledge of Serie A.

I haven't denied what Frey has done either, like I said I rate him highly. Am a big supporter of Frey.

ok, so now its the 4-4-2 v 4-3-3 discussion? did you take count of the amount of times that Frey had to contend with a headwind/tailwind too?
come on mate, I'm not saying Buffon was more important than Frey to their clubs but JUST as important as each other and I will stick with that comment.. I guess Buffons EURO doesnt count as form either? Remember, the only reason why Italy didn't get absolutely trumped by Holland and got as far as they did? But lemme guess, that doesnt count.
Buffon is a vital part and was instrumental in both his clubs and countries sucess, something that we cant say about Frey, although maybe because the french coach is a twat.
At the end of the day Buffon is the best keeper in Italy (and the world IMO) and BOTH Frey and Buffon had a stellar year and were vital in BOTH their clubs success. If Juve had European competition then he would have had the opportunity to show his worth to Juventus (Can't really believe anyone is saying he was not as vital to Juve's success as any keeper in the world) and this discussion prolly wouldn't even happen as Buffons dominance wouldn't provide room for any discussion about any other keeper in Italy.

******** mate, Kalac was instrumental (and I really mean that) to Milan even qualifying for EUFA Cup, does that make him the best? ******** no.


You should not be questioning my knowledge of Serie A.
I know thats not at me but tell you what... stop being a absolute 'Bichos' and try to debate/discuss and maybe people wouldn't use your own words against you.:p

I don't really watch Serie A but Julio Cesar must be pretty damn good if an AC Milan fan is praising him highly like that.


I'm also brazilian, so people may regard it as bias, but if there's someone curious about Milan's fans views on Julio Cesar, they can take a peek in the Milan forums like the R&Bforums and Milanmania. It won't differ much from my opinions, simply for the fact that these Milan fans also watch Inter games, and it's just impossible not to rate Julio Cesar as one of the best in the world after watching him for more than a season.

dude, at least your honest and I will give you that.

but if you don't watch serie a much then when would you have seen Juve's defence in action? they weren't in Europe only in Italy... so as someone who has watched virtually every Juve game for the last 2 years let me tell you that Juve's defence was not that much, if any, better then Fiorentina's.

And Kulspruta, I'm right with you on that, I rate Julio Cesar very highly.

I haven't really seen them in action, on paper I believe they are a better D then Fiorentina's.

lol. stfu. you know absolutley nothing about goalkeeping so dont run in here with the newcastle/irish bias.
eh shay given was absolutely amazing in 2005, and should be on this list. tim howard is a clown and shouldnt be on this list.
one season means nothing. if keepers can continuously play at the top of their game season in and out then they should be ranked. hes good, not denying it, but deffinetly not the best.

Smartass :rolleyes:

You can't put all the blame on Casillas for how many goals he's conceding. Real Madrids defense has been the joke of the league this season.

I don't mind personally :D

Their defense is usually a joke. Casillas is in a slump and not bailing them out.
