AaronH Posted 24 May 2011 Posted 24 May 2011 Linked with a 2mil bid for him http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Transfer-news-Leicester-preparing-2m-bid-for-Leeds-Kasper-Schmeichel-article740516.html
Guest Bilo Posted 24 May 2011 Posted 24 May 2011 Not beyond the realms of possibility considering he has worked with Sven at Man City and Notts County, but this to me seems less likely than the Westwood deal considering the fact it would be somewhat of a sideways move. Leeds' aspirations won't be a million and one miles away from ours so they'd be reluctant to let their first choice keeper go on the cheap. I'm not 100% about him either, would prefer to save £2 million for elsewhere and go for Westwood on a free.
topharry123 Posted 24 May 2011 Posted 24 May 2011 Liking this a lot, fingers crossed, always looked good every time i've sen him. http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Transfer-news-Leicester-preparing-2m-bid-for-Leeds-Kasper-Schmeichel-article740516.html And just to add, he's just been called up to the Denmark squad for the first time.
Ozwin Posted 24 May 2011 Posted 24 May 2011 Now this is the sort of signing we should be looking at. Can't see him leaving for £2M though, Leeds'll want more than that.
millzi Posted 24 May 2011 Posted 24 May 2011 I would happily have him, you do see flashes of absolute brilliance in him and hints of his Dad, he's still young so still has a lot to learn and can keep improving. Would happily have him. Can't see the story being all that true though, highly unlikely Leeds would be all that willing to let him go having only had him a season and he's been pretty class at times.
WhenYourSmilingLCFC Posted 24 May 2011 Posted 24 May 2011 I hardly post on here, but what's happening with Westwood then?
millzi Posted 24 May 2011 Posted 24 May 2011 I think every time I have seen him play you see flashes of absolute brilliance, he is a top keeper and for £2m I'd happily take him, can't see Leeds wanting to let him go for that price if at all though unfortunately.
RowlattsFox Posted 24 May 2011 Posted 24 May 2011 Must admit before this season I thought he was overated but having seen him a couple of times, he seems to have improved greatly. Think it might need more than £2m though, not because I think hes worth more than that but Leeds don't need to sell and they wouldn't want to sell to a promotion rival.
Ozwin Posted 24 May 2011 Posted 24 May 2011 Depends if Kasper wants to leave, player power and all that.
Happy Fox Posted 24 May 2011 Posted 24 May 2011 It seems that the chances of signing Westwood is slim according to the Mirror http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Transfer-news-Sunderland-leading-Everton-Newcastle-and-Leicester-in-chase-for-Coventry-keeper-Kieren-Westwood-article740457.html Steve Bruce has stepped up his bid to beat Everton, Newcastle and Leicester in the race to sign Coventry goalkeeper Kieren Westwood. Sunderland chief Bruce has held talks with Westwood’s representatives over a move to the Stadium of Light on a free transfer. Westwood, 26, has emerged as one of the most highly-rated goalkeepers outside the Premier League after three years with the Sky Blues. And Bruce is ready to pounce for the Republic of Ireland international as he prepares for a substantial recruitment drive this summer.
Ozwin Posted 24 May 2011 Posted 24 May 2011 Bruce has Gordon and Mignolet, wtf does he want Westwood for?
Happy Fox Posted 24 May 2011 Posted 24 May 2011 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1390561/Sunderland-beat-Everton-Aston-Villa-Black-Cats-start-negotiations-Keiren-Westwood.html Sunderland manager Steve Bruce has opened negotiations with Coventry City’s Keiren Westwood over a move to the Stadium of Light. Bruce is keen to sign a goalkeeper as Craig Gordon has undergone surgery on his knee and is expected to miss three months of next season. Westwood, 26, is out of contract and has also drawn interest from Everton and Aston Villa. This is probable the reason why he may go to Sunderland
shen Posted 24 May 2011 Posted 24 May 2011 Sven was in charge when Kasper made his Prem debut, but he also dropped him once Hart had recovered from injury despite Kasper doing pretty well. He might or might not hold a grudge. But as others have said, I doubt he'd want to move away from Leeds nor would they look to sell him unless they get a silly offer.
I am Rod Hull Posted 24 May 2011 Posted 24 May 2011 I told my lad that Sven would be in for him... 5 months ago...

Doubt he held a grudge as he went to county with Sven. I was under the impression that kasper was slightly over rated, having said that I've not seen that much of him
dave_the_fox Posted 25 May 2011 Posted 25 May 2011 If we had Schmeichel this season we would have made the playoffs
Nick Posted 25 May 2011 Posted 25 May 2011 So no shay given then? - He's a top six Premiership keeper get real! Take Schmeichal in a heartbeat at this level.
Danno Posted 25 May 2011 Posted 25 May 2011 I love him. Such a good GK. Probably the second best in the league behind Kenny imo.
