Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 11 July 2017 Share Posted 11 July 2017 To be honest the moody Kraut can trot on. Most no.2's can go a whole season barely getting a game. This guy had a fair crack of the whip and sadly failed to shine. Bang average RRZ. No great loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerard Posted 11 July 2017 Share Posted 11 July 2017 Hard to believe he made the Germany squad who won the last World Cup. On the face of it he looked to have too high a pedigree to be our No2 but he was really poor in the games he had here. Best for all concerned he moves on.

I'll take that to be fair, he might be a decent shot stopper but his all round game was pretty weak and uninspiring. Time for Ben Hamer to step up as an effective number 2 and grow up or leave too, for me personally. To be fair, Hamer did really well in the great escape season when Schmeichel was injured. His poor distribution aside, he commanded the defence better than Schmeichel at the time and was a very good shot-stopper. Pearson seemed to hold a grudge about the free-kick mistake against Spurs (?) and Schwarzer replaced him. He wasn't really given another chance here until the Porto battering, when the whole team played utter dogshit. From what we've seen of Zieler last season, he is not adequate backup for Schmeichel If Schmeichel stays, keep Hamer as main backup and Iversen as 3rd choice, sell Zieler. If Schmeichel goes... ffffffvcked if I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted 11 July 2017 Share Posted 11 July 2017 If he thinks he's better than Kaspar then he's deluded. And if he's not better than Kaspar then why should he get in the team ahead of him? Sat at behind him for a couple of games when Kaspar was injured and we shipped quite a few goals. Didn't inspire confidence and looked like a kid playing with the big boys, tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we expect Schmeichel to be fit less than 85% of the time I'd want a better No2 than Hamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had just come off a sensational season with Hannover 96 and was rightly picked as the No.2/3, behind Neuer (and Weidenfeller). Shame to see him go, but it's hard to get past Schmeichel, anyway. Just hope our next No.2 is a bit more secure and/or gets more time by the fans. We still have Hamer, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only apologise that my knowledge of the Bundesliga 2013/14 season isn't up to scratch. The Ron Robert Zieler I seen play for Leicester City was a big disappointment considering he should have been at his peak at 28 and the pedigree he came with.

Fox in the North Posted 11 July 2017 Share Posted 11 July 2017 Shame it hasn't worked out for him. Hopefully he'll get more game time back in Germany and go on from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 11 July 2017 Share Posted 11 July 2017 Don't get why people are getting personal. He came, didn't displace Kasper, and is likely to leave. Not like he's issued statements demanding a move like others is it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will need a new number 2 keeper if Zieler leaves unless Iversen or another of the academy keepers is ready to step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdb Posted 11 July 2017 Share Posted 11 July 2017 Good luck to him. Had his chance here and didn't take it. Hammer isn't good enough for 2nd choice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bezzanator89 Posted 11 July 2017 Share Posted 11 July 2017 Some keepers just can't cut it here, sure he will do well back home like he has done previously. But looks like Leicester are now looking at Jakupovic for an immediate replacement. Surely a sign that this one is slowly wrapping itself up.

Bob Weasel Fox Posted 11 July 2017 Share Posted 11 July 2017 If he is that frustrated he should perhaps go to Trudys on Narborough Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphericalfox Posted 11 July 2017 Share Posted 11 July 2017 Unless we get in some excellent super unknown under 21 prospect, then everyone is going to look inferior to Kasper. Either that or we spend big monies for someone equally as rated, and that isn't going to happen. People unnecessarily slagging Zieler are embarrassing. Zieler hasn't been in anyway awful, in fact some of his play was actually better than Kasper's at times. I personally wish him the best, and hope he gets the game time he craves.

FoxinNotts Posted 11 July 2017 Share Posted 11 July 2017 Ah well. Some Keepers are no.2s and are happy to be just that. Zieler wants to be a first choice, and basically, he just isn't as good as our current first choice, kasper. I guess this indicates Kasper intends to stay. We'll probably get Jakupovic, who is a great no.2, and happy to play that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevosevic Posted 11 July 2017 Share Posted 11 July 2017 He's wasted everyones time tbh. He knew he was coming here to be number 2 so I'm not sure how he can get unhappy about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
