Last season maybe but not before that. And like i said, he has to maintain his world class form to challenge Buffon. |

casillas still hasnt reached 30, where goalkeepers begin to peak, and buffon is 31 and in his peak, and casillas is better than him whilst not even peaking. |

Casillas nowhere near shits on Buffon, its close these days because Casillas has been world class recently. Buffon has been world class for going on 10 years, Casillas will never overtake Buffon in terms of quality at their peak or longevity. There's no set age at which a player peaks, and Buffon has an early, long lasting peak. Both incredible keepers in my eyes but if anybody is doing the shitting on it's Buffon, who is one of the greatest ever. |

I agree that Buffon is the no.1 keeper in the world although Cassilas has been class in the last couple of years, I was never fully convinced by him before even though he's always had incredible reflexes. Shay Given is one of the best around though, I couldn't settle for him not being in everyones top 10. Fair enough top 5 might seem to be pushing it for some people but I'd like to see more of Julio Cesar before I call him better than Given. For me Given is in the top 5, he's solid, a really great shot-stopper, great reflexes and above all else consistent. He never reallt gets the credit he deserves and as Homer said in the opening post if he played for Utd or another massive club, nobody would shut up about how good he is. At international level I'd say Given is the best apart from Buffon. Our most valuable player for sure and we'd never have gone on any great unbeaten runs without him and we'd have never qualified for WC 2002. He's a monster of a keeper. |
