Neuer, no doubt. He has improved consistently over the last years, whereas Adler's development has stalled in a way, but that is also down to the injuries he has had.

100% right Jaap.
Magath can say hundred times "Neuer is not for sale" but Schalke needs the money right now and Magath leaves Schalke anyway in few years, Magath cares only about himself.
He will say nothing.
@Jaap
Ich hab gehört von einem Schalke fan das Schalke ist sehr stark interessiert an Freiburg`s torhüter Baumann und gespräche sollen schon laufen zwischen beiden clubs.
His reaction will reveal a lot, trust me.He will say nothing.
Haven't heard that one before, but good news, if true.
I'm sure we will be imtereted in plenty of players but when it comes to meeting asking price Neuer might be out of our range, especially if Bayern who are rumoured to be in for him make an offer too. Knowing City, they will probably table a bid just in case anyway as well. A keeper will be around the top of our summer list and we cam get him below £15m then we will probably go for him, if not we will look at other options.
He'd probably cost around 20-25m, but he's totally worth it, mind.
Bayern, as said before, are close to extending Thomas Kraft's current contract, meaning they will give him their full trust for the upcoming season, which would make a bid for Neuer unlikely.
So we would be the only big side willing to take him then, wouldn't we? That reduces his price significantly as there would be no bidding war. I think we could get him below £20m and perhaps even below £15m with a bit of luck. Will have to be paid in installments and add-ons based on success though.
Well City have Hart, Madrid have Casillas, Juve have Buffon, Liverpool have Reina, Chelsea have Cech, Inter have Cesar, Barca have Valdes and Arsenal...well they don't buy good keepers.
So that really only leaves Milan, Munich and us as major major clubs.
Munich, as Jaap said, want to extend Kraft's contract which shows some faith in him and Milan, well Neuer is way too young for them and plus they only seem to want strikers these days.
I think if we're genuinely interested in him we'll get him.

But Hoeness, Rummenigge and Beckenbauer have said that they want Neuer.
Do want.
He is fecking class.
Saved Schalke numerous times so far against Bayern.

I will go pick him up at the airport.
Can he kick check?
Can he come for crosses? check
Is he tall, strong, agile? check
Got decent exposure at top level? check
What the feck are you waiting for SAF?

Raul looks so weird in that shirt
fecking hell he is on fire today. Nothing going past him.
Holy shit, did you see that throw? It was like most keeper's kick.
This is ridiculous, are people seeing the throwings he has been making? He is not even bothering to kick it anymore.
Who was the twat saying he was overrated and not wanting him?
Farfan is shit though. If he hadnt fecked up every counter attack Schalke could lead higher.
Begovic is better than him
Clearly
Well Schalke is through to the cup final.
Congrats.
Neuer played a big, big part.
So whoever created that thread on Munich clearly very cleverly Anti jinxed them.
From almost being treble winners last year to being out of every competition bar Europe this time?

Deserves them right those cnuts.
Will still be a threat in Europe though I fear.... I hope we draw those cnuts again (well so long as we both go through now) and give it right to them.
Welcome to Manchester in July, Neuer. I'm sure this is the one Fergie wants to sign.
Performing that well against Munich will only make Munich want to sign him even more
Bayern are sniffing around and he got a girlfriend from Munich I think. Going to be hard for us.
Plus he is German. It boils to the fact if the player can stay away from home for long periods of time without becoming homesick. If the players love the league and the club they go to (boyhood club), then usually it is not a problem.
But the Bayern Munich fans hate Neuer so much and don`t want him at the Allianz Arena.
Neuer, you are only a visitor (in Munich)
Playing for fans (in the future) which boo and hate you?
Don`t you have any proud Schalke cnut?
No Neuer
That makes me enjoy Bayern's decline a little bit more.
Very nice work from Bayern fans. Does that mean we are leading the chase for his signature?
I don`t think so but Neuer will defo think about that.
Schalke is now in the cup final against Duisburg (2.Bundesliga) so they`re playing probably in europe next season (I don`t know if the Europa League is enough for Neuer`s ambitions for at least another season)......so maybe he signs a new contract now.
So why exactly do Bayern fans hate Neuer so much? Seems very odd.
Munich fans are such retards
They might have just helped us big time.

Schwein = cnut?
No, correct translation would be ''pig'' or ''swine''.
To sum him up for yesterday's display: assured, composed, calm, and a safe pair of hands. He was faultless. Great performance.
That's what I thought due to all the pig mounter stuff, so what exactly is the reason for such mass dislike of Neuer from Bayern fans?
In the past he has been rather disparging towards Bayern at times.
Seriously, that seems really excessive from the fans unless he's said something totally disrespectful about the club or ran over the club mascot.
A more accurate transliteration is probably something like bastard.
I see, hopefully that mutual dislike will push him our way, of all the keepers we have been linked with he stands out by a mile IMO.
...or kicked the club's owl...
RRICTR's description is pretty spot on - Neuer celebrated like mad in front of the Bayern fans when Schalke drew their match at the Allian-Arena last season.
