No it wouldn't. He was a Ukrainian international being linked with some top clubs, no one would have gone mental if we beat Real Madrid to a 19yo GK who has every chance of being world class in the future.

LCFC FOX Posted 19 July 2018 Share Posted 19 July 2018 He’s wont be Kaspers replacement, he’s Hamers replacement. If kasper does leave im 90% sure we’ll sign another keeper as well. Probably someone like Butland 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying he's a bad player or I'm even against us signing him but he's done very little to justify going for that much, even in this market. You piss money away blindly then we won't progress.

deep blue Posted 19 July 2018 Share Posted 19 July 2018 5 minutes ago, lcfc sheff said: probably been told kasper will be here one more season then? Can't believe we're spending £12m on a second choice goalie, crazy times and hopefully means a few more signings are still to come! John Percy makes no mention of the fee so £12m could be way off or, as St Albans said, only with lots of add-ons. As for not being 2nd choice - I'm not so sure he isn't. If we aspire to be a top club then it seems reasonable to invest heavily in a good understudy who provides real competition for Kaspar. Many on here have been scathing about lack of competiveness for our gk position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If number ones are now starting to cost between £30m and £60m then the value of backups will rise also!

Edingleyfox Posted 19 July 2018 Share Posted 19 July 2018 Only in his mid 20's and did well for Huddersfield a year or two ago.I think he could be a good signing -whether he is a long term replacement for Kasper we don't know but competition is good.

It just seems funny that Klopp before the Allison deal seemed content with Ward being no.1, and now he's coming to Leicester to be second choice; something doesn't add up. And I see where you're coming from but I certainly don't see it that way myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frost Posted 19 July 2018 Share Posted 19 July 2018 Percy is always on the money but I find it hard to believe that Kasper isn't off to Chelsea. The Alisson move is the first trigger in the chain and there will be a lot of GK activity across the board now. Wouldn't be financially prudent if Schmeichel is definitely staying, why not just keep Hamer as back-up in this case and invest elsewhere? We have enough players on the books as it is.

The last two years should show us that. finding a keeper is tough, you take a risk on someone who hasn't played in England is used to the lifestyle and isn't going to be first choice you risk losing out. Ward is an understudy currently that has experience in the leagues in and hasn't got to settle in to a new country / area. Yes its expensive but you are going to pay over the odds for anyone these days but 10-12 mill for a keeper that is going to be pushing our number 1 is surely good business.
