I know its a random way to look at things but there was a fifa 15 article the other day that detailed the best 20 keepers in the game. The top 3 were Neuer, Courtois and Cech.
Now when Jose said before that Chelsea have 2 of the best 3 keepers in the world i always took it with a pinch of salt, as if there must be some top quality keeper out there that I keep forgetting about. However looking at the list of keepers out there right now I genuinely think that we do, I mean who else is as good as our reserve keeper?

Will be interesting to see what Cech wants come January. All depends on gametime I guess but we have been blessed with some great goalkeepers for around 15 years now. Long may it last!

Personally I think neuer is overated. fantastic sweeper and imposing as ever for a keeper but dont have drop some easy shots and parry what he should catch.
I think we have the best two in the world.
Never will be claimed as that though coz of playing for chelsea and "that head injury" even though cech came back stronger

We've always been blessed with very good keepers, you could argue we had 2 of the best 5 when Cudicini was here.

No we haven’t! We’ve been blessed in since Cudicini and obviously have some brilliant keepers through history like Bonetti but we had some poor keepers in the early PL years, Kharine and Forrest for example, some people used to rate De Goey, I never really did even if he did look like replicant from Blade Runner, he made some good saves but always seemed to parry the ball inside the net.
What a treat it is to have Cech and Courtois.

The first time I saw Chelsea play ... giving my age away ... you had a keeper with a very long name, Niedweiski or something. As a keeper myself, I remember he was one of my favourites and we used to scour the media looking for news about him. I think he was a top keeper but I think he retired young from injury.
