Wizerud Posted 2 August 2020 Share Posted 2 August 2020 I'm not sure I wouldn't swap Schmeichel for Henderson straight up given Kasper's age and if he wanted the move. Henderson is a fine keeper and still young. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty98 Posted 2 August 2020 Share Posted 2 August 2020 Kasper is 33 and contracted until he's 36, a new contract seems completely unnecessary. He's already one of our top earners isn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(cue all the obvious comments) Its not a conundrum - don't give him a new contract at 33. If he wants to go and someone wants him then I'm fine with that. I very much doubt man utd are in for him.

It's more than a little far fetched, in Henderson they've already got a better all round goalkeeper and that's not meant as a slight on Schmeichel.

Fox92 Posted 2 August 2020 Share Posted 2 August 2020 No chance will this be real. It's the name. However if it was real I'd be using Henderson as part of the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 2 August 2020 Share Posted 2 August 2020 I don't think it will happen and I wouldn't want it to. Schmeichel does frustrate me at times but I think his attitude and bollocks are what the squad requires. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s a conundrum based on kasper’s status at the club and relationship with Top added to his obvious connection to United. Add to that you absolutely can’t make a mess of buying a no 1 keeper .......... all those proposing Henderson could be part of a deal - do we know his capabilities with his feet ??? and yes, I know a keeper is supposed to use his hands !!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shailen Posted 2 August 2020 Share Posted 2 August 2020 If we get Henderson we will have the same issue. We need a keeper who can play with their feet. I'd rather we get a keeper like Martinez should Arsenal keep Leno as their number 1. Kasper is probably the best shot stopper in the league but his footwork let's him down, and to get a keeper who can play with their feet is the only way we improve in that area.

I don't even think kasper is too bad with his feet. He's made a few mistakes recently but generally I think he is better than most. I've never got the criticisms regarding that part of his game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypothetically if you were a 33 year old professional goal keeper and had been playing for say Southampton for 10 years and had built up a deep attachment to the club and its people and Leicester (your dream club and the club you support) came calling would you leave? If you left would it show a lack of loyalty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 2 August 2020 Share Posted 2 August 2020 I think this would be the only club that would be interested in taking Schmeichal that he'd be tempted to walk away from his influential status at the club he's been at for 9 years. I don't see him leaving, I can see him being our number one keeper for another 5+ years as often happens with keepers that spend the majority of their career as number 1 at a particular club. I'd not want him to go, as a shot stopper he is up there with the very best. His distribution is a weakness on occasion and I'd hope that Rodgers can tighten this up or try and create the right decision making on when and when not to try ridiculous passes out from the back.

I do agree with you, but it's one part of his game he can improve on especially given the way we play out from the back. His short distribution is a little too casual and wasteful at times. His long distribution is actually really good in general, but we don't play that way so it's not really an effective weapon for us. Having said that to get that improvement straight away, we will likely have to spend upwards of £60m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming his dad doesn’t have a problem with it then he’d be there like a shot !! (Whilst he is definitively his own man, I think he would check this out with the old fella given the background ). he lives in Cheshire and must be fed up travelling back and forth every day my view is that it could be a really bad move for him but because players are Generally ultra confident about their capabilities, he wouldn’t even think about what might go wrong. His agent will be happy enough to take the dough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poznan34 Posted 2 August 2020 Share Posted 2 August 2020 Aside from his on pitch performances, Kasper personifies that mid 2010s LCFC spirit as much as anyone (same for Vardy, Wes). There's massive value in keeping him around for years to come to pass it on to the younger players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted 2 August 2020 Share Posted 2 August 2020 4 hours ago, Bert said: Yep. New 4 year deal incoming Kasper has zero leverage in asking for a new contract. He has three years left on his current deal and when that ends he will be four months away from his 37th birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
