Reina, De Gea, Lloris, Neuer, Rui Patricio or Stekelenburg: Who should replace Edwin van der Sar?

Hugo Lloris
Club: Lyon
Age: 23
Nationality: French
Height: 6'2
This season: 20 games, five clean sheets
The young Frenchman has previously been linked with Arsenal and despite his age has already amassed 19 international caps. Former France and Lyon 'keeper Gregory Coupet has described him as a phenomenon but it could prove a costly move with his club reluctant to sell.

David de Gea
Club: Atletico Madrid
Age: 20
Nationality: Spanish
Height: 6'4
This season: 20 games, eight clean sheets.
He's only 20-years-old but is one of the most sough-after goalies in the world. Admirers have commented on his ability to perform under pressure. Apparently his team-mates have already nicknamed him Van de Gea due to his physical likeness.

Manuel Neuer
Club: Schalke 04
Age: 24
Nationality: German
Height: 6'4
This season: 19 game, seven clean sheets
To give you an idea of how highly thought of he is, his manager, Felix Magath said this: 'Of course, we would be able to sell him for a vast sum of money. But we would not be able to pick up any equal replacement afterwards.'

Maarten Stekelenburg
Club: Ajax
Age: 28
Nationality: Dutch
Height: 6'5
This season: 20 games, eight clean sheets
He succeeded Van der Sar as Dutch number one and had a pretty impressive World Cup where The Netherlands reached the final. At 28-years-old, should be close to hitting his peak.

Rui Patricio

Club: Sporting Lisbon

Age: 22

Nationality: Portuguese

Height: 6'2

This season: 17 games, five clean sheets

According to some reports, former Man United assistant manager Carlos Queiroz has recommended and as a result have been keeping a close eye on him. With United having already signed Nani and Cristiano Ronaldo from Sporting Lisbon, you'd expect them to be at the front of the queue should he become available.

Surely not, though...

Pepe Reina
Club: Liverpool
Age: 28
Nationality: Spanish
Height: 6'1
This season: 24 games, eight clean sheets
Despite the valuations banded around for the Spaniard, a transfer is unthinkable and certainly not the best way for the club's American owners to endear themselves to the Liverpool fans.

Who would you have?
