BARKING IRON wrote:Van der Sar was the master of what you are explaining with a free kick if it beat his wall it was normally two steps and a catch, where as someone like Robinson or Hart it’s a athletic tip over the bar and all the plaudits. Problem with that is it takes its toll on the body hence why they don’t stay at the top level into there 30s
I was stood next to VdS in a pub in Cardiff last year and he is a giant of a man, so I was thinking that that explains the comment above compared to Hart, but then I looked it up and they're much the same height. :P

Without a question, the best 'keeper we've had in a very long time.

Excellent. Inspires a new level of confidence.

I'll admit I didn't think he was much of an upgrade, if at all, on Adrian. But (and I type this as a huge Adrian fan) he is certainly a level above. Keep it up!

It breaks my heart seeing Adrian on the bench but this bloke is having a cracker of a season, brilliant saves in the last three league games and looks very composed.

That composure has been massively important for our new CBs IMO. Agree about Adrian though, and couldn't blame him if he wanted a move in Jan (ideally I'd prefer to keep both of course).

He has performed much better than I expected, I have no complaints about Adrian being on the bench but did when Randolph and Hart were picked above him

Agreed it was truly terrific.

I was sceptical of his ability tbh and didn't think that he'd be any better than Adrian. How wrong was I, what a good signing he's turned out to be.

Oh yes...

I can understand why some thought Adrian should be first choice when we bought Lukasz in however I hope they can now see that Lukasz is a different class...
Too be a goalkeeper in a team that gets relegated but still win their player of the season speaks volumes..
The guy is brilliant.

ALWAYS RATED HIM AT SWANSEA BUT FOR US HE HAS BEEN DIFFERENT CLASS. SO UCH BETTER THAN WHAT WE HAVE HAD WITH RANDOLPH HART AND ADRIAN.
