Klos.

Probably closer than people will admit in here.

I rate Butland and think he's been a great addition but there is no doubt that our support has overhyped him a little

Klos and honestly - as much as i love Butland - its not that close.

I totally agree. I reckon since the call-up noise started he’s look far more uncomfortable.

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.
Cant be serious surely?

Strange timing for this thread.
Butland didn't have his best game on Sunday, and suddenly we're being asked to compare him to one of our best keepers ever...
He's only been here just short of a season and has exceeded expectations. Lets give him a few more years (hopefully) before comparing him to literal club legends.

Did you see the keepers keeping Klos out?

Klos , but agree since the England talk he has looked more uncomfortable. I just wish Southgate would tell him one way or the other

Really not sure what this (and it's a huge reach anyway) has to do with anything.

Almost seems like a sh*ta-stirring thread given the performance of Jack at the weekend.
You’ve posted this thinking it’s some kind of silver bullet argument I assume
It’s shown a complete lack of knowing about football
Every keeper in that Germany squad was on another planet to any GK England currently have

Butland is making some errors now but I think he will regain his form. Needs to change his penalty technique too.

He won the champions league with Dortmund and still wasn't quoted. No doubt he had far better keepers to compete with than Butland.

Klos. Not even worth a debate at the moment.
Lol so you don’t know then but used it as something to judge him on.

It's "knowledge" mate.
I agree (as I posted above) that Klos had far greater competition.

I never said it was Butland! My cousin n i were discussing it n just wanted to know other people's opinion!!

No chance. Klos is up there with Goram, Woods and McGregor, Butland is good but he’s not that good.

Which makes your point completely redundant
If he was over rated, Southgate wouldn’t have been at the game.

In my opinion, Klos.

It's part of an argument, that's kind of the idea when you have an opinion on something. You use some kind of evidence to back it up. Lol.
Klos was behind Oliver Kahn and Jens Lehmann for the German National team.
No shame in not getting a call up when he's competing with them.
Should start a thread comparing Dessers and McCoist. (I’m not saying it’s McCoist)

I don’t see any point in comparisons like this. Both excellent keepers with different qualities in different eras.

Only Oliver Khan and Jens Lehmann.

I'm talking about the way the support has hyped him up. I get the impression though it's because we've been pretty much starved of a decent keeper for the last few seasons.
It’s a horrendous opinion to be fair. The keepers ahead of Klos have been mentioned in here. You used it against him.
The Spaniard
Well-Known Member
Klos is probably closer to Goram than Butland, yes, but it’s not as extreme as people will make out on here.
That’s my point. He’s played superbly and as such, close to England call up.
Maybe we appreciate him the right amount

Talk of him going for £20 million - £30 million in the summer was completely mental talk, even for here.
I think people don't realise how good Klos was when he signed for us. Seen a lot of BVB players - Marco Reus included - pick him in their greatest XI's ever.

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. He’s played superbly and as such, close to England call up.
Maybe we appreciate him the right amount

Butland is closer to Wes than Klos right now but time will tell.

We’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.

It's like comparing Frankie Dettori and Tiger Woods as footballers, it makes no sense whatsoever.

Comparisons are fair enough surely?
I love Butland but there has been a little shakiness recently. Truth is, if he'd been immaculate throughout his career, he'd be with a top Premier team. So Klos is well ahead if you are comparing.
That said, Jack has enough about him to finish his career strongly and I really hope he does. Hopefully he will play a big part for us over the next two months.
