Kasper Schmeichel Retires

[coolhandfox]

People seem to confuse getting on with everyone and being a leader.

 

Good leaders often challenge people and ruffle the odd person.

Im going to say between 2013 to 2021, he was in the top five keepers in the world and who did he play for... us 😊  Biggest mistake Man City made was letting him go so young, miles better than Joe Hart. Sven deffo seen it, gave him his debut at Man City, took him down to league two with Notts County and then us. Outside of Leicester never got enough praise. I think leaving leicester in 2022 was bad both us and Kasper.

 

If honest treated terrible by the club in the end over 400 apparances. Never got a send off or testiomonial. Just shoved out the back door. Even kasper had to announce himself he was leaving. Took the club like two days to his announce departure.

Sure, but Sven was also the one that misled him, getting him to sign a new deal at Man City only to then dump him in favor of Hart. It was probably the right call for Man City ultimately, but Kasper had to rebuild from there.

Shame he's not been able to finish his career on his terms.  Top bloke.  Would take him back on our staff in a heartbeat

[Raj]

Great player for us.

Probably not the Saint that he is perceived as within the club but defo one of our greats

A legend for us on and off the pitch. His penalty save vs Sevilla was iconic

Two penalty saves! One in each leg 

[VG Fox]

I would love to get him in to hold players and the board to account. My guess is this lot of charlatans will block any role he applies for, for that very reason! 

[Lambert09]

He’d be a pretty funny manager because he’s the most animated person I’ve ever seen on a pitch. 
 

nobody ever knew why he was going berserk half the time 

[TrentFox]

When my son went to his first ever game with me, he assumed Schmeichel’s name was actually “Sir Michael”. 

[S1DDO]

Legend, wanted to name son after him but wasn’t allowed.

 

Bring him home

Sometimes players can become the opposite when they become managers, of all our players in the last 10 years Kasper is the one I can see going into management.

Get him back

[urban.spaceman]

Come home Kasper 

 

The club needs you. 

[Manley Farrington-Brown]

And joint top goalscorer among Leicester goalies, whatever the record books say.

He’s a chip off the old block.

 

I think his Dad could be quite abrasive too back in his playing days- but he was part of a dressing room of 8-9 leaders- Bruce, Robson, Cantona, Keane, Ince to name a few. Players who demanded the best

 

 

None of the above is a negative. It’s what we’ve desperately lacked since he left. 

 

 

Growing up around that made him into what he was. A leader who demanded the best. Let alone he was good for 9/12 points over a season, his demand from everyone around him made them all raise their game. 

[Blueman1967]

Great keeper, and leader

[Stadt]

He was probably the single closest player to Vichai and Top. He wouldn't all of a sudden hold a feckless, absentee owner into account because of #standards and #leadership.

[Soar Fox]

If he stays during the 22-23 season we don’t get relegated. Not only a fantastic goalkeeper he wouldn’t have let standards slip. Our last genuine leader.

[Mike the Metal Ed]

For all the great memories and 400+ games and promotion as champions and two major trophies for some reason I'll only ever remember him for 3 things

 

1) Having a gob like a sailor away at Braga

2) Seeing Daniel Amartey freeze with the ball at his feet, taking the ball off him and booting it up field

3) Everton at home in 2022 when he was so keen to get the ball forward, he rushed out, won a throw-in and then took it.

 

We really lost something when he left, no doubt.

Completely agree, we haven’t had a keeper like I’m since. Top shot stopper to boot.

[Rubbersoul]

My favourite thing about Kasper was whenever we’d concede he’d be going totally batshit at either the ref or our defenders

Is he perceived as a saint though? I think there's general acceptance that he's probably pretty spiky, difficult, demanding etc. but always comes across as a thoroughly decent bloke with a lot of integrity

[Jobyfox]

[Corky]

No doubt he was a challenge behind the scenes but he could claim that he was near faultless in a title winning season, played a blinder in a Cup Final, outstanding in the Champions League and represented his country in many major tournaments. Many difficult players, as we know, get nowhere near any of that.

 

Always seemed really grateful he could settle at the club and had a real connection with the supporters. A fantastic career in a huge, burdening shadow and will always be a great at this club.
