As a Barca fan, I'd start De Gea ahead of any other keeper history has seen.

That guy can save for africa. Even with poor defenders baba is still saving man utd

in their prime, Buffon was the best. so i will start him and bench vandersar. cech can be sold. Cech enjoyed a good deal of defensive cover while at chelsea and that has always been the case at chelsea. they have the best defensive record over the years so their goal keepers are not usually tested to the fullest & we cannot say how good they are. we all saw how cech was badly exposed when he joined arsenal.
cech joined Arsenal when he was quarter to finish. : grin

Really?....Cech was past his best when he left for Arsenal, you think Chelsea will allow him to join arsenal when he was at his peak? Please forget about the defense, cech was damn good at his peak abeg

Just like Barcelona then

Lalasticlala o ya now

Buffon is the best among the three base on record, FIFA rating and number of games played both for country and club side. Ronaldo in his prime at inter (when he won his first Ballon D'or) maintained that Buffon made goal scoring difficult for him.

If you are Coach and you have privilege to have this three legendary goalkeeper has your players, but you have to sell one, start one and bench one.

Which of them are you going to start, bench and sell.

I will sell Cech, Play Buffon and bench VDS
Re: Which Of These Legendary Goalkeepers Would You Start, Bench And Sell? by oliverwrites: 5:56pm On Feb 07, 2022
It is obvious we have a lot of Chelsea fans on this forum.

Only delusion will make anyone think Cech is in the class of Buffon and Van Da Saar.

To answer the question, I will start Buffon, bench Van Da Saar and sell Cech. Easy decision for anyone who watched Van Da Saar at Ajax, Fulham and United as well as with the Netherlands National team.

Kingcalls:
Casillas was better than them all

5 league titles
3 champions league titles
2 Euros titles
1 world cup title

None of those u mentioned came close.... the media keep on selling Buffon as the greatest when casillas was definitely better ...the same they are doing with messi , selling him by force
i too i'm of the opinion that casillas was the better in their prime. if i was playing a big game or a cup finals, i definitely would have casillas as my goalie cos that man had glory around him when it comes to big games, no wonder they called him saint. But since casillas isn't among the mentioned by the op, i would have Cech, followed by Buffon and that's only cos i didn't watch Buffon that much in italy until he was past his prime.

You can't say Cech enjoyed a good deal of cover and absolve Buffon knowing fully Italy played football defensively and are more than happy to close out a game 1-nil or max 2-nil, something CR7 complained of. Point is, Buffon had a solid back too and if he were to have played in another team in his prime where emphasis was on attack no one would have known the outcome. Nevertheless Buffon is an all time great and certainly deserves the start, but i can't go wrong with Cech either.

Oga shut up. The other keepers no get defensive cover? Do u know how many times cech has single handedly ensured 3 points for Chelsea?

I don't believe Buffon was better than Cech in his prime. Both were excellent. Just say you prefer Buffon

Oga, Buffon is a Legend. Cech is good no doubt but it is an insult to put Cech side by side with him for comparison. Buffon is in the league of Legendary goal keepers like Oliver Khan and Casillas.

In 2006, Buffon came second in the Ballon dor ranking. The closest any goal keeper in the world has ever come to winning the prestigious award.

His saves against France at the 2006 final were just unbelievable. Even Zidane got frustrated after trying to beat him several times with no success.

But for me de Gea is better than the 3 he wasted his prime at United
Re: Which Of These Legendary Goalkeepers Would You Start, Bench And Sell? by Eastlink(m): 6:22pm On Feb 07, 2022
Van Der Sa Edwin was a late bloomer who was simply ordinary as a young goal keeper. Ofcourse he won the 1995 Champions League with Ajax and other major trophies with Man U but dude had a bad record with keeping clean sheet and ground balls.

Peter Cech Made his name in Nice and came to Chelsea to take the no 1 position from Hilario. Dude never looked backed and broke all goalkeeping records in England with the most clean sheet in Europe. Besides penalty which was never Cech forte, dude was good in up and ground balls. Some might say he was protected by a good Chelsea defence and flopped in Arsenal, but follks forget that Cech was already aged when he moved to Arsenal.

Buffon Gianluigi is a legend in the game but we cannot judge his overall club performance because he spent most of his years in Juventus (besides Lecce and PSG). Buffon won the world cup with Italy all thanks to that great defence mashalled by Cannavaro. Despite his quality and strong Juve defence, Buffon wasn't noted for clean sheets and was below the pecking order when goalkeepers like Casillas, Oliver Kahn, Cech, Van Der Sa and later Neur, De Gea, Courtois and Oblak ruled Europe.

My Choice For me, the best goalkeeper among them is Cech. At their prime, you'll pick Cech before any goalkeeper except maybe Casillas who still had his weakness with up balls. Neur is the other goal keeper you'll choose based on his exploits in his prime for club and country. Neur was a beast in ground, up, and penalty balls. Neur was a complete goalkeeper and become a force at a very young age and still relevant till today.

So I'll start Cech, bench Van Der Sa and sell Buffon.

So because he is not from a strong footballing nation means he's not as good as the others? U know what, I no get the energy to argue with u. U win, cech is trash. Have a nice night
