    Picked Forster although love the other two. Boruc was amazing for us and hated the manky mob,had amazing saves but then he lost focus and left. Gordon has been a great signing for us and is a brilliant keeper but hasnt been at the club long enough to compare just now.

    I was critical of Forster in the beginning but he improved a lot and based on performances in the big games, he shades it for me. I think Gordon has more ability overall though. Was never a big fan of Boruc.

    Boruc at his best was comfortably better than Gordon and Forster.

    I definitely prefer Boruc, not to take away from Gordon as he is genuinely World Class, if only he was better at corners.

    He was at his best less often though and that really has to be taken into account. Forster was far more consistent

    Right now I would say Gordon.

    Boruc, as much as we all loved him, was prone to some horror errors and stayed a season too long.

    Big Fraser was a proper 'big game' player, but I would just give Gordon the edge. I don't think there are many better keepers in Europe, genuine world class.

    Boruc at his peak was easily a top 5 keeper in the world

    Tough one but if we had any one of those 3 in Seville we would have another European trophy in the cabinet.

    Gordon is a world class shot-stopper, there's no denying it. You see the goals we conceded against Malmo though and you think he has to be more commanding inside his 6 yard box. I genuinely get the feeling he isn't great at organising his defence in those situations either. I just can't put him above big Fraser. This whole thing kinda reminds me of the Bitton vs Wanyama debate, at the end of the day look at our record with Wanyama in Europe, look at what he's done for us. Bitton cannot compete. Same with Gordon in comparison to Forster. Not that their solely to blame for us no getting into the CL but they do make up the first X1 so I'll withhold judgement in terms of comparing them to players who've proven themselves at the highest level for us. Even VVD vs Wilson is similar.

    He usually is commanding in the box as well, it's one of strengths imo. Moreso than Boruc and certainly more than Forster.

    I would still have Forster just now though, the guy was incredible for us.

    I've just watched that a good few times and I think you are doing the second save a disservice.

    Although he doesn't catch it flush it still has a bit of pace on it and it was still away from Gordon's body.

    Incredible reactions.

    Watch Scott Allan with hands on head. In amazement, or saying '*'? :56:

    Amazing saves btw. Fantastic keeper.
