anyone talking about kasper last season is deluded; the number of saves he had to make was obscene 

 

we conceded far too many shots on target

Feel we’ve missed out on some potential replacements in Dean Henderson and Nick Pope.

No, we need to invest in somebody that will serve us for many a year. Not another keeper on the way to retirement 

[An Sionnach]

As far as I know he has lived near Manchester for donkeys years.His kids are English and settled and he will be 37 at the end of this contract. What has he got to gain? He should play one more year and get a comfortable job an an "analyzer" on the tele.

Give Iverson the Jersey for me. He has been very good at Preston. Time for a chance at the higher level.

The tweet that sparked all this suggested that we’ll only let him leave IF we find a suitable replacement…

Thats what I'm asking, names of Gk's we could buy for good quality that's just as good as Schmeichel or better, I don't think there is, we can't afford big fees

Well, at least he hasn't been playing all pre-season. If it is Iverson or Stolarczyk, they have at least been prepping with the team.

IversEn...

And there’s the issue to get a keeper as good if not better will cost a lot more are they’re harder to come by and other teams will be reluctant to sell. 

[Dylster]

Conrad Logan doing anything?

[copunk]

Rather give Ward or Iversen a go, invest some of the money from wages into signing a RW should the reports be true that we do have funds to spend

We’ve been utterly spoilt having a keeper of Kaspers consistency.

Well since the Nick Pope boat has sailed by, we are screwed in terms of bringing in a suitable replacement.  Will have to go with what we have.  

[st albans fox]

Issue I have with a possible replacement is that they will likely have been identified by congerton!

Plenty on FT who loved him at the time, used to get loads of abuse for slating him.

He's done fine for Wales. He's got quick reflexes and he's taller than schmeichel. I think we'll be fine this year and who knows, I wouldn't be surprised if there has been some issues behind the scenes especially given how much we are paying him and how little time the other goalies get on the pitch.

 

I remember recent seasons where schmeichel has played all league games, all european games and BR has let Ward in for 2/3 games in the early rounds of the leugue Cup. Some might say he's got too much clout at the club and we need a reset regarding schmeichel. 

 

Yes, he'll always be a legend. But, I do think deep down that he constantly compares himself to his dad and sees himself at "little leicester" as a negative overall in terms of his career, hence the move.

These posts really make me laugh. 

[Guest Chocolate Teapot]

You honestly think this has caught the club cold? 

[alanf0x]

Wonder if this link with nice could be to put other clubs on alert that he is available…

Happy to oblige.

If we sign a decent keeper, of Premier league level the standard is quite high.

how many times last season did we say the opposition goal keeper is having the game of his life.

Maybe there isn’t much in it for shot stopping at this level.

The concerning thing would be to replace him with 2 unknown quantities at Prem Level.

exactly! John Percy even dropped the sanchez story at the end of last season basically letting us know that kasper wasn’t planning on staying. 

 

The question is whether the club prepared to purchase or to give iversen a shot

The defending in some of these clips .

[Claudio Fannieri]

Iversen will be first choice with Ward as a steady Eddie back up for this season and then wouldn’t be surprised if Stolcyrk is promoted to first team at end of next season to challenge Iversen and Ward will depart, just my opinion but would be surprised if Iversen was given majority of pre - season if this wasn’t to be the case 

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Wonder if BR upset Kasper by promising to give Ward some games towards the end of last season? Or maybe Kasper just thinks now is the right time to move on? Either way, if he wants to go, I think we should reluctantly accept. I don't think an unhappy Kasper would be much fun to be around for the rest of the squad.
