Asmir Begovic - officially signed

[LCFCCKEANO]

Don’t hate it, will be good for Stolarczyk and Bausor. Wouldn’t be furious with that three into the season

[kingpowerout]

I reckon Mads to West Ham will gather pace quickly now 

[kingfox]

1 year deal, surely a club like Leicester keep him until he’s 40. 

[Ric Flair]

The groundhog of the summer of 2022 continues.

Surprised only 1 year maybe he is on trail as a coach as well and will get a coach contract next summer. 

[Iwebema]

No real issues here if we assume mads is off, worked with Marti at QPR so one for the dressing room aswell which is just as important.

At least we've sorted PoY award out then for 2026

Might be a good shout.. do we even have a GK Coach right now? Or has agreed to do that maybe?

[Brainy]

This must be one of the easiest deals to have completed, assuming no one else was in for him, yet it's taken a shockingly long time to get over the line

[Claudio Fannieri]

Solid signing wonder if it’s a one year player deal but option to extend to become a coach from next season.

Unless we were waiting for some movement on the Mads deal before pulling the trigger on this one. 

[FoxinNotts]

Our next Mark Schwarzer. Let's hope he has the same impact 🤞🏻

I have no problem if its a year.

 

Experience to sort Jakub and hopefully we bring in another young keeper.

People just need a angle to moan about everything.

I'm sure the club was waiting for confidence that they would get the right fee for Mads before bringing in another goalkeeping option.

Decent cover as 2nd/3rd choice depending on Hermansen

[CloudFox]

Where are people getting that it's just 1 year? Can't see anything from Fab's tweets making that clear. And you know...it's just not the Leicester way 

 

While I'm here: @Finnegan @Ric Flair should this now be updated to a Tier 1 Source, based on Fabrizio's tweet?

Alex Crook said it was a year.

Thanks both! That's a decent deal then. Good cover, plenty of experience, and knows Cifuentes already.

 

You'd expect Hermansen to move on very soon then. Which is a shame, and I'm not fully convinced by Jakub yet (much as I am hoping he does brilliantly), but needs must! Would open us up to pay for a couple of players then, you'd hope.

I'm not normally one of those people at all, and perhaps he had multiple offers on the table, but if we've really been interested in a free agent for six weeks and we've only sealed the deal today (at best) it's not great is it? And not just a free agent but a 38yo whos probably just looking for back-up or even 3rd choice status

[em9999]

It's a good deal for a year and probably only rubber stamped after the club was pretty confident mads was leaving 

 

Common sense

More than likely link to what happening with Hermansen.

 

What the rush, you just end up paying a extra 6 weeks wages? 

[South Shire Fox]

Rudkins given him 70k a week and fcked us for next seasons FFP

First time for everything . Maybe Glover is having more of a say now
