Stekelenburg's played what, once in the PL after barely getting games for Roma? I'd definitely class Mignolet in the top bracket after being told to look out for him the past few seasons Well I'm going on his performances for Ajax and at the 2010 World Cup. From the game he played at Sunderland he looked like the same keeper he was back then, and if he keeps that form he's definatly one of the best in the league.

Stekelnburg has been a quality keeper in the past so it will be interesting to see if he can get back to his old self when he returns from injury. How long is he out for?

De Gea, Lloris & Mignolet for me.

De Gea, Lloris & Mignolet for me. These 3 and Begovic are the top keepers IMO.

Just glad no one has said "Joehartisthebestintheworld", hopefully that myth is finally dead. The amount of people in 2012 saying he was better than Casillas and Neuer...

This time last year, I would have put Hart 2nd in the Prem behind Cech. His performances this past year though have been pretty bad on the whole. He's no longer in my Top 3, until he gets some form back again.
For me, Petr Cech has been the most consistent GK in the PL for several seasons now. Every GK makes mistakes, but it seems for every one Cech makes he makes 5 great saves in return. Just look at the Super Cup. He should have done better for Munich's 1st goal, but he made some quality saves throughout the game to give Chelsea a fighting chance.

Wouldn't say hes the best but Howard has been awesome in goal for us since he joined, pulled off some amazing saves too.

Howard was always solid for us, just not quite at the level for a title-challenging 'keeper. Far better than Roy Carroll though.

He's a great 'keeper but I don't think he makes as many world class saves as the other 3. Chelsea already have a better 'keeper in Cortouis.

Maybe it's time for Goon to take his rose tinted specs off. Was interesting to hear Guillem Balague say on Revista this week that he thought Cortouis is the best GK in the world. He'll take Cech's place as soon as he comes back.

Cech on his day is as good as any keeper in the world but he doesn't perform like that every week and as Mike said makes mistakes.A bit like Reina. Not saying Cech just isn't good just not as good as the other 4.

Possibly before they got Lopez. I'd be surprised if Barca don't go for him when Valdes leaves.

Di Maria reportedly looks to be off to Monaco in January. Was only a matter of time since the arrival of Bale but surely leaves the team a bit light, hope Real push for Suarez.

Another poor transfer for Madrid if they let him go. Really hope they get Suarez though, just to get rid of him from the BPL.

Window open again soon hope we go in for someone, preferably a cm or winger. Would like us to sign Luke Shaw as an understudy to Evra (long term replacement) too but that's more one for the summer really.

IMO Courtois/Ter Stegen have the potential to be the best keepers in the world.
Belgium has such amazing talent, I really hope they do well in the Euros this year. Guys like Kompany, Bakkali, Courtois, Mignolet, Van Buyten, Axel Witsel, Eden Hazard, De Bruyne etc.
I'm surprised Zakaria Bakkali hasn't been swooped up yet. Guy is a tank on FiFA and he's only 17. The only drawback is he's 5'5", that's pretty short for a footballer (Messi is 5'7" and he's considered a midg).

Looks like we are signing Magnus Eikrem and Mats Daehli. Two midfielders. Both played in Man United's academy and have been highly rated. Ole isn't taking long to get to work!
