jumpers for goalposts Perhaps now he will stop getting abuse from some on this forum! Yes he certainly can improve, but with the exception of van der Sar, Given and Lehmann, who is actually better than him?
James may be above him here, but is far more likely to make a cock up, dito Reina and he plays for Liverpool! Well done USA!

Better than Hahnemann:
Petr Cech, Carlo Cudicini, Jussi Jaaskelainen, Brad Friedel, Anti Niemi, Tomas Sorenson, Chris Kirkland, David James, to name but a few...

On current form I would say Marcus is better than those 3

jumpers for goalposts Ok abuse was the wrong word!
I believe Marcus is a top keeper. His distribution must improve I agree. But the fact that he has been with us for many seasons now shows that he's up there. If he really wasn't that good then SC or Parjudas would have got rid of him.
The guys mentioned i.e. Howard, Carson, Harper are all decent keepers, but none of them have consistently played at successful clubs for any considerable period of time. Howard was not good enough for United, dito Carson at L'pool and Harper has always been No 2 to Given. On this basis alone I don't believe they can be seen as better than Marcus. They may well have more natural ability than USA that I grant you, but over the course of a season Marcus is consistent enough to be up there with any keeper in the league in my opinion.

alad Ben Foster has been the best young keeper in the league this season IMO, much better than Carson who is over rated and makes errors for alot of goals he concedes.

Safe to say Man U have a pretty decent back-up for when Van Der Sar decides to quit.
Not sure if Sir Alex will want Foster booting the ball up 60 yards though when playing for Man U!
