Has gone to Man U.

Good move IMO, he is a quality keeper and will do well for a season while Casilas decides if he is leaving Madrid or not.

Casillas won't go to Man Utd, in the highly unlikely event of him leaving Real Madrid.

Anyway, that's the end of Van Der Sar's career.

Van Der Sar is a very very good keeper, maybe the ideal replacement finally for Schmeicel, but with Utds luck with poor Keeping over the season/s i wonder whether he will get hit with that curse

He's arrived too late. Had Ferguson managed to sign him after Schmeical left then he would have been perfect. As it is he is a good one season signing.

He is okay although he will probably turn shit now that he is at Man Utd. ;) How old is he anyway? Not that it matters as much with goalies, but I doubt he has to many seasons left in him.

He'll get blamed for Man Utd shit defence like every other keeper they've had recently. Fergie needs to appropriate blame, he's terrible at it.

He turned shit about 5 years ago at Juve. He lost all his confidence, I can remember once see him almost getting out of the way of the ball, it was like he was scared of it. I don't see him being any better than Howard tbh (who I don't think is that bad a keeper).

Schmeichel left in 1999 ! You'd have thought that from 7+ goalies in the intervening 5 years they'd have got it right by now.

Only four keepers in the world I would say are top class. And those teams wouldn't sell them. It's not easy to get a keeper that would be able to fill schmeicels boots. Only Buffon, Cech really fit the bill. Casilas is promising, and Cudicini is solid as well. But I can't see Chelsea selling either of their keepers, let alone to Utd. Juve parting with Buffon is a pipe dream -and probably a very expensive one at that.

I thought vanders was just above average personally, unless he has improved a lot recently.

Yeah and I don't think he is worth his own thread!

Well Chelsea are listening to offers from Everton for Cudicini atm, he wants first team football - Cech is stopping him. We are going to need a replacement keeper since Wright is Shite, and Martyn isnt getting younger
