Butland for me.
Im going Dessers
Is the correct answerKlos by a country mile.
Why wouldn’t we? Great run in Europe. Great performances in the league. Could win a treble and get called up to the English euro squad.That's obviously great but I'm minded of a thread when people were being ridiculed for saying they'd sell him for 10m-15m.
That's my point, we'd be mental to knock it back and obviously we would take it and run in the real world.Why wouldn’t we? Great run in Europe. Great performances in the league. Could win a treble and get called up to the English euro squad.
Seems a sensible valuation
Klos wasn't great with the ball at his feet either.Butland gives me McGregor levels of fear with the ball at his feet. Cant mind if Klos was good or bad at kicking.
During a conversation at Glw Airport re keepers years ago my mate (keeper at decent level) declared Klos was technically superb. Debate was interrupted by none other than Goram who had taken up a seat behind us. AG said Klos was technically as good as he’d ever seen and his positional sense meant he didn’t have to make the flying saves him and other keepers did although was capable to do so. Klos was unfortunate in his timing as he grew up with pass backs permitted and then suddenly it was stopped and keepers had to kick ball away and that was (possibly cross balls too) a department he lacked in. Frightening we were able to sign a then German international squad keeper! Klos all day long.
And btw I love big JB
Sebo or Dessers?Mate I love Butland but what's your next 50/50 question, Subo or Beyonce?
Butland is a good keeper he has shown that.Was talking to my cousin about this and imo it would be Klos!
Thoughts??
Did you see the keepers keeping Klos out?
Klos is in the conversation with Goram and McGregor as our greatest ever goalkeeper (probably no 3 tbf), Butland has a ways to go before he can enter that conversation.
We've been lucky to have s few world class footballers at our club and Klos was ine if themWe’ve been lucky to have so many good keepers that I think people sometimes forget just how good Klos was when he was at his best for us.
Away n shite, Butland is far superior to Wes.Butland is closer to Wes than Klos right now but time will tell.
I remember when Goram signed, replacing Woods, I thought Andy had a lot to do to prove he was as good.What about Woods?
I know quite a few older Bears that reckon he was our best ever.
Unlike Klos, Goram and McGregor, he would come for crosses and dominate his penalty box.
Can't be many who underrate him. Would say the majority of fans would have him in the top 5 players to have played for us in his position.Kilos is and was one of our most underrated players
And it was sad how it came to an end for him with us
Klos was up against Kopke and Kahn.Yup. The blue tinted specs will be donned. The reality is Klos was never in the reckoning of the German national side (rightly or wrongly). Butland is very much part of the debate about who goes to the euros for one of the tournaments favourites.
Personally I don’t think he gets the recognition he deservesCan't be many who underrate him. Would say the majority of fans would have him in the top 5 players to have played for us in his position.
He was worse.Butland gives me McGregor levels of fear with the ball at his feet. Cant mind if Klos was good or bad at kicking.
Is he? He’s only been here a few months.We've been lucky to have s few world class footballers at our club and Klos was ine if them
Away n shite, Butland is far superior to Wes.
Did your cousin say butland?Was talking to my cousin about this and imo it would be Klos!

Could barely clear the halfway line from memory but still a quality keeperKlos wasn't great with the ball at his feet either.
Came in to say this. Also applies to the monthly "Butland or McGregor" threads we now seem to get.Come on, Butland needs to be here for more than a season before comparing him to other great goalies.
Was outstanding in 02/03 and even though being POTY in 03/04 is not necessarily saying much given how poor we were as a team, he was brilliant individually. Kept the score down in the 3 0 New Years defeat to Celtic.I think Stefan Klos is seriously under rated by a good number of the support because too many focus on the last 2 years.
For a long time under McLeish he was our best and most important player.
03/04 without Klos doesn't bare thinking aboutWas outstanding in 02/03 and even though being POTY in 03/04 is not necessarily saying much given how poor we were as a team, he was brilliant individually. Kept the score down in the 3 0 New Years defeat to Celtic.
No it really isn’t!Probably closer than people will admit in here.
Well for a start you’d have to use something as a reference.No it really isn’t!
Klos was one of the best goalkeepers in Europe at the time.Well for a start you’d have to use something as a reference.
Someone said it’s like comparing McCoist with Dessers, so yes, it is closer than some people on here will claim.
He’s not significantly closer to Wes Foderingham and that’s exactly what I was getting at.Klos was one of the best goalkeepers in Europe at the time.
Butland is significantly closer to Wes Foderingham in level than being one of the best goalkeepers in Europe at this current moment.
That is the gulf between Klos & Butland.
Unsure whether that satisfies your indication for a reference, but that is “how close” I am willing to admit I think they are.
