Manuel Neuer is the best goalkeeper in the world

Postby PorkChop » Jul 08, '14, 3:48 pm

He's been a top goalkeeper for years, but throughout this tournament has proven that he's easily the best there is right now. He reminds me a lot of a prime Peter Schmeichel / Oliver Kahn. You just don't fuck with him. He runs this shit.

Why did United sign De Gea and not Neuer? They were reportedly interested in him but opted for De Gea. Sure, Neuer's older, but is twice the keeper De Gea is.

He's far and beyond any other keeper in the world, if you ask me.

Yeah he's an absolute boss. I'm not a fan of the sweeper keeper but he does it so well it's hard to argue against it - plus he looks like the perfect Hitler youth.

As does Joe Hart - the most German-looking Englishman I've ever seen.

He'd probably be universally recognized as the best keeper if he didn't play on Bayern Munich.

In an ideal world, United would have gone for Neuer. He performed really well against United in the semis of the CL in 2011 but he wanted to go to Bayern. De Gea's best is still yet to come, lot of potential still yet to come through.

But Stuart Broad and Neuer are definitely long-lost brothers.

Because Bayern is so strong that he doesn't need to showcase his amazing goalkeeping as often as he would on a team where the need to make saves is greater.

Pretty much this, have a look at Tim Howard.

Tbh I think Neuer is universally recognized as the best keeper in the world already. Who else is there? Courtois maybe?

I'd say that makes his job as a goalkeeper difficult. That position is about concentration. Alot more difficult to be doing nothing until the 91st minute, then be called upon to make a tough save. More harder than making repetitive saves from an on-coming attack on your from your opponents.

Ter Stegen is up there but Neuer is better. Fucking Germany are too good man.
