Thibaut Courtois

I know this is only a youtube video but this guys shot stopping is looking brilliant already. Already he is showing top class saves, and he is only 19. He looks a real prospect and definitely looks like the proper long-term successor to Petr Cech. He is quite like Cech in that his handling is not as great as his shot-stopping. Definitely one to keep an eye out for IMO

For me, he put's the ball in front of him too much when he save's it for me, where as of putting it out for a corner is the safer option, but this will come in time when he becomes more experienced. I also like the idea of him playing in la liga, which will hopefully help him become more comfortable with the ball at feet.

That's the Cech post head injury, the Cech i knew before that was the most confident catcher in the business. Every opposition free kick or corner unless bent in to perfection was plucked out the air with alarming success rate. It was that attribute that put him ahead of the best shot stopping in the PL at the time, the legend known as Carlo Cudicini
