Does anybody know how good Neuer was when he was 23?

He was very good, but also had clear flaws in his game which he has ironed out and used to do some stupid shit from time to time as well.

But from the start of his career at Schalke, he was touted to be Germany's next leading GK.

I used to watch Schalke a lot between 2005-2010 as they used to be my favorite Bundesliga team
Neuer was really talented from the very start and probably much more talented than MATS
But as Donak said he had flaws ,one of them was that he wasn't so confident btw(but that was when he was younger than 21) ,he grew well and kept developing in every aspect
But I don't see it relevant tbh ,players grow in different rates .van der Sar started to look gr8 when he was at his 30's .and Neuer is currently the world top GK and the best in his generation.unfair to comparison IMO

But then again he didn't have a great game in the return leg

I wonder when people here will mock him for being a smoker like Mathieu...

Mathieu is old as hell and plays an outfield position that requires him to run.

What does Mats have in common with that?

 

[ThwiX]

Are you sure he smokes? Unlike Mathieu I have still to see any pictures of him actually smoking. He could just be buying for someone else.

Look at the 2nd photo. It looks like he's holding a cig.

 

[Gasgas]

The fall-out of having a gf who smokes.

Looks like a bottlecap to me.

Looks like a bottlecap to me.

Hmm... Yeah could be that too. A bit difficult to tell.

The fall-out of having a gf who smokes.

In that case maybe he bought it for her.

 

[barcanuck]

Even out that farmers tan Mats! Hope he ain't puffing too many smokes on his vacay!
