I'd be very surprised if Iversen didn't leave. The club should actively try and get rid of Ward if they aren't already. Would Wrexham not be interested? Ward is from Wrexham and played for them in his youth. 

They’ve got a better Goalkepper in Foster.

I'd offload both if possible and probably go with Hermansen, Stolarczyk and Smithies. Iversen deserves to play for somebody and he's clearly not going to do that here now. Ward needs to just go.

How can he be a 'reasonable' number 2? His xG is amongst the worst in the world. Basically if it's on target, it's in. We may as well play an outfielder player as backup 

Short memories. He was okay as a number 2 for many years under Kasper playing the odd game here and there. Don't think it was a particular issue and was lauded by many on here.

 

The problem is he's not a number 1

Iversen deserves to be number one somewhere, sadly the fraud of a manger took so long to give him that opportunity here and now as a consequence of the way we'll play, will miss out. Ward another long line of players that needs to go to get that stench of failure out of the air. Although Stolarczyk perhaps needs to be getting actual game time to fufill his potential, maybe go with an U23 to fill the bench with Smithies - even after a game for the U23's.

As a british keeper we might be able to get him one of those "scott carson" type deals at a team in europe. Im sure ward would be happy to collect splinters for the remainder of his career

To be Ward's advocate, last season was a sh1t tsunami of defensive injuries, mismanagement and rank bad luck. He performed really well in the purple patch leading upto the WC.

 

He needs to move on for our sake and his own but I'm not sure he deserves the vitriol he's receiving.

Can I please stop seeing this Danny Ward would be fine as a number two. What happens if Hermansen breaks a leg first game of the season, we’re right back where we don’t want to be and that’s with Ward anywhere near nets. 
 

For our sake, and his, he needs to move on. Too much has happened and mentally he’s gone as a Leicester keeper, It’s a Loris Karius type situation

I would genuinely rather see Alex Smithies play every game in that scenario than Ward.

Bang on. All of us here would be fine as a second choice keeper if all we had to do was sit on the bench. But the risk is always there though that he has to go on to the pitch which can't be allowed to happen again. 

The karius comparison is a good one. Like him hel forever be associated with a disastrous event. He is the symbol of last season, the worst, weakest and most culpable player in a squad full of poor, weak, culpable players. The one most associated with Rodgers awfulness due to his insane refusal to drop him and the one player so awful we know that if he had been dropped we would have scraped to safety. He would need an incredible run of form to come back from this with Leicester fans and he literally isn't capable of achieving such form. He's the football equivalent of ptsd and he simply cannot be anywhere near the pitch or bench for us ever again.

Iversen won’t want to stay as a number two. Plus he’s wanted rated by a few teams in the championship. I’d keep the young polish lad as number two and sell both Ward and Iversen.

Sell the both of them and have Stolarczyk as the number 2.

I think the real scenario is sell 1 and gift the other to anyone that wants him.

Don't see who takes Ward unless we subsidise his wages and offer him on a season long loan.

Surely Maresca's going to go for whoever's the best with the ball at their feet? I assume Hermansen's coming to be first choice on that basis, and the back up will be whoever's best with their feet. Neither Ward nor Iversen especially stand out as being much cop at that. I have no idea if Stolarczyk's any good at it, but if he is then might he not be second choice?

The problem is that he would have to agree. I can't imagine a League Two or lower side being willing to offer a wage that Ward would accept.

Agree. The past incompetence of the people dishing out contracts and agreeing fees is going to hinder us for next 1-2 years.  We will be stuck with some unwanted players.  Hope DoF has learned some lessons…….

As a backup keeper, Foster is 41yo and Ward is at the peak age for a keeper - at least that's how we should be selling it to them!
