Re: Buffon is past it

Calm down guys, we all know for a fact that Buffon had entered the history books for a long time now and has been an incredible goalkeeper for us, definitely including the last two seasons. One misled opinion won't change that! Very Happy

Marchetti?

Only Sirigu comes close.

Have you seen Marchetti play? The guy's a brilliant goalkeeper.

Have you seen Buffon play? The guy's still up there with the very best.

Yes I have, and I know that. What I meant was that if Sirigu comes close, Marchetti definitely does as well Smile

1 error was the nightmare backpass that MDS performed, which wasn't his fault at all.

So then, 2 errors in 3 games and he's now retirement worthy Laughing

"I guess he should retire from Juve as well since he is shit. I dont think he is even good enough for Reggina. What a scrub. So overrated."

He's cost Italy in the Confed cup and Juve in the CL. These are facts.

by Juveman17 Wed Jun 26, 2013 5:54 pm

It's also facts that he has been keeping Juve in high standard for the past 7 years since Calciopoli. It's also a fact he was key in both of our scudetto runs. It's also a fact that he let in the LEAST AMOUNT OF GOALS in Serie A two years running. It's also a fact he won GK of the year in Italy.

There are plenty of facts Gil.

by Lupi Wed Jun 26, 2013 5:58 pm

he is too much of a beast ,one of few players that remains from the great team Italy had once upon a Time , Those who appreciate football , have respect for players like him despite with mistakes that happens for any player

by Gil Wed Jun 26, 2013 6:08 pm

The truly great GK's raise their game when it counts the most. See Cech in last years CL run, Valdes in Europe or VDS in the 08 final.

Buffon failed to show up when it mattered. His legacy has undoubtedly taken a hit recently in my opinion, Not saying he's completely tarnished his reputation or whatever but he's no longer in my Top 5-10 GK's.

I just think Italy need some new blood. Balotelli has been superb under Prandelli and I think it's time the likes of Verratti, Marchetti/Sirigiu, SES and Ogbonna are given chances.

Gigi is undoubtedly an Italian and Juventus legend but I think his time is almost up.

by Juveman17 Wed Jun 26, 2013 6:16 pm

What? Thats utterly ridiculous. He raised in game in the 06 final did he not? Buffon let up 2 goals all tournament. One own goal one penalty. And yes he is the top 5 that isnt even debatable. He is the best GK of the 2000's as he dominated up until 08 when Spain won the Euros.

You act like its Buffon's fault Juve lost CL finals. Maybe you haven't realized the whole team didnt step up? In 02/03 we lost on penalties which is clearly not his fault. You cant blame buffon for the CL at all. And besides even if the Bayern mistake didnt happen we still would have lost as Bayern are WAY better than us as a whole.

by Lupi Wed Jun 26, 2013 6:22 pm

all that by Confederation cup ? and the game that referee won? good laugh m8t good laugh

LOL Peter czech ! based on ur opinion she should had retired after 2006 world cup because he was horrendous in that he didnt raise his game did he ?

remember this? how come Cech didn't retire after the game. I bet if you call Nihat's name..Cech shits his pants.
i am gonna use a quote to give u an advice: "When your IQ reaches 50 you should sell".

He should retire he made one mistake he is shit and in decline and isnt a legend anymore. Not in my top 10.

by Gil Wed Jun 26, 2013 6:37 pm

Cech's loss in form coincided with his nearly fatal head injury not Father Time.

Apples and oranges lads.

by Guliver90 Wed Jun 26, 2013 6:52 pm

that was more than a year and a half after his comeback. Or you mean all his errors from that moment are because of that head injury.

sorry...you see oranges just because he is Cech, Chelsea's GK...you are as biased as these Juve fans.
and also...you are to proud to say you spoke out prematurely.
i remember countless mistakes made by van der Sar..in his last seasons...nobody asked him to retire..and even led to Man Utd UCL glory..and two more finals.

Nothing bump-worthy, Buffon had a great game.

by Gil Thu Jun 27, 2013 10:56 pm

Let his country down. Easily beaten for all 6 penalties.

Have a feeling a younger and more agile keeper like Marchetti or Sirigu would have done better.

Of course there's no guarantee they would have saved any but unless they're given an opportunity to prove themselves how else can we gauge their talent, desire and heart?

1/10 could do better Smile

What about that shot from xavi? that look like a big mistake from buffoon that luckily for him hit the post.

by Adit Thu Jun 27, 2013 11:07 pm

Yeah Buffon made a huge blunder on that Xavi shot but apart from that was good.
