    Schmeichel have been the overall best. Forster was incredible but not as consistant as Kasper vs *.

    Favourute was Boruc for obvious reasons.

    Least fav was Gordon. Would love to kick his face

    Good Question, hard to answer

    All I can say is as it stands, in this moment Kasper is the best. Can't forget Artur or Fraser. I've really given the worst, on the fence answer possible but I just can't choose

    Boruc probably had a slightly higher peak but I'd take Forster's consistency over that any day, plus Boruc let himself go in the end which was a shame to see.

    I've put Hart above Schmeichel for now because Kasper hasn't had a full season yet, and Hart gave us 3 really good years, with a lot of leadership off the park too.

    Schmeichel definitely the most rounded and consistent keeper I've seen here..

    Schmeichel
    Boruc
    Forster

    Boruc at his peak was phenomenal. Some of Forster's shot stopping was mind blowing at times. Schmeichel, particularly given bis age, is showing that he's top drawer. His distribution is one of the best ive ever seen from a keeper, nevermind just here.....and everything else to his game is solid..

    Probably Kasper.

    It's hard to compare shot stopping ability from memory, and I appreciate recency bias often shapes these questions, but Kasper is a proper top European level keeper in my opinion and his ability to start play from the back is a totally different level from anyone we've had in the past.

    Instead of ranking them I'll just say that Schmeichel, Forster and Boruc is the standard of keeper we should be always aiming to have in Europe, the likes of Gordon and Hart were way below the standard required at that level yet still stayed as No.1s far too long

    Purely on with us because its another question completely at their peaks -

    Boruc
    Forster
    KS
    Gordon
    Hart
    Douglas

    I love Joe Hart but his level is vastly overrated while with us just because we all like him off the pitch. Could actually argue Gordon the opposite.
