Popular Post danny2997 Posted 18 July 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 18 July 2018 Replacing Schmeichel with Butland or Forster would be awful business. Not only are you getting a considerably worse keeper, you'd be paying extra for the privilege. Schmeichel is by far the best keeper available to a club of our level, with the only better ones being the likes of De Gea, Lloris, Neuer etc.. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheUltimateWinner Posted 18 July 2018 Share Posted 18 July 2018 Heaton would be a good target, no way someone who is on the fringes of playing for England would want to bench warm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted 18 July 2018 Share Posted 18 July 2018 If we are after a new keeper I want somebody Pickford esque that can use his feet and play the ball out from the back. I’m not sure Butland or even Pope might fit that bill? If he’s not easily replaceable then he stays no matter what Chelsea or anybody else offer.

De Gea, Lloris, Neuer - all considered by most to be 'top tier' goalkeepers. All of them made pretty horrendous errors at various points during the World Cup. Goalkeepers make mistakes sometimes, and Kasper is no different. You don't realise what you've got until it's gone, and I think we'd end up missing Kasper hugely if he went, particularly as there aren't exactly legions of top-class keepers out there begging for a club to snap them up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 18 July 2018 Share Posted 18 July 2018 We will not acquire a better keeper. He is not faultless, but no keeper is. His influence on this team is huge. Unless he wants to go to a massive CL club, we should not entertain it, regardless of the offer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good young player who has played in the prem for a few years, looks to be over the injury he had and could be an option at cb/rb. I personally wouldn’t want Schmeichael to leave but IF his head does get swayed & the right offer comes in I honestly do believe like others have said, he deserves a move. IF we was to sell to Chelsea the thought of having Zouma in a back 3 with Evans & Maguire sounds quite appealing. Even if Kasper doesn’t go anywhere I think it’s something as a club we should look at if the price is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could name young keepers with the potential to be A LOT better than him Onana and Lafont (sadly just moved) for a start! The second point... some might say it's too much of an influence...

hackneyfox Posted 18 July 2018 Share Posted 18 July 2018 Personally think Butland is a much better keeper than Kasper. Schmeichel is a great shot stopper but doesn't command his box. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gut instinct says he is a top keeper for our current level of club. Of course we could try a young pretender, but I think that is spinning the roulette wheel in hope that they are better. Given the choices I'd stick rather than twist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerard Posted 18 July 2018 Share Posted 18 July 2018 I rate Kasper and think he's as good a goalkeeper as there is outside the top tier of De Gea, Courtois, Neuer, etc. He's 32 this year though so I think it would be good business to sell him for £20m providing we have an obvious Plan B to replace him. Butland would be an obvious choice as he'll want out at Stoke and one of Pope or Heaton should be available quite easily as Burnley can't keep both happy long term. There may be options we have on the continent as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precisely. Burnley are in a very strong position and are not pushovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasper can play at the highest level for at least another 5 seasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clever Fox Posted 18 July 2018 Share Posted 18 July 2018 Regardless of if he stays or goes we need to find a new young up and coming Keeper. We chased Pikering for long enough, don't know why we didn't buy him before his value soared. Or the Russian kid Lunin. Still it proves our instincts are right and we just need to capture the next one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
