z-layrex Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 This is brilliant! My Leeds supporting friend is not happy at all.
dannythefox Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 Sven will have already spoke to him on the phone and sorted wages terms etc so he will need to have a medical and pass it! He's Sven's love child!
Tom17LCFC Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 First glance I interpreted that as him not wanting to come, but I agree with some others on this, that he's just trying to sweeten the Leeds fans. We can offer him a bigger wage and he also gets on well with Sven, so I can't imagine him being too disappointed to join us if he does.

Zed Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 His statement from Twitter... On Monday 20th June 2011, @kpschmeichel1 said: I am putting out this statement now, but let me be clear that I have not signed with any other club, and as far as I am concerned I am still a Leeds United player. Statement. At the end of the season Leeds United and I both made a commitment to honour the last year of my contract and try to win promotion with Leeds United. Therefore it is with great disappointment that I have learned that Leeds United have accepted an offer from Leicester. I want to put on record that I have never asked to leave the Leeds United, nor did I reject an offer for a new contract, since one was never put to me. I was enjoying being a Leeds United player and was looking forward to winning promotion this season with the club. I have spoken to the manager Simon Grayson and he has made it clear to me, that, in spite of having played well for him, this is something he believes is a good deal for Leeds United. I have been put in a very difficult situation and will spend some time considering my options for my future. Funny that. Apparently Grayson told the Leeds website: "We spoke to Kasper's agent at the end of the season about a contract extension and it was apparent that it was going to be difficult." Quote off BBC teletext. Sounds like Kasper wanted away if Grayson is to be believed. I guess it's somewhere in the middle. Personally if he signs I would be very happy. I've been more concerned about a GK and the defence than all the talk about every striker going!
Narborough_fox Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 Bert, earlier in the thread. I couldn't be bothered to go through 7 pages so I skipped them. In that case fair enough
whitlock Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 I think Kasper wants to be respected as a player and not seen as any money grabbing player, plus he's also got big expectations on his shoulders from his old man. Like most have said, I wouldn't read too much into it, I persume Kasper will just want to leave on good terms or as good as possible terms with Leeds fans.
Danny the Fox 95 Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 Someone on twitter should ask Schmeichel if he's intrested in joining us!
Guest Bilo Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 Wouldn't read too much into that, he's trying to keep the Leeds fans sweet. He'll do a Pearson and release a statement on Wednesday saying; I was surprised/disappointed when Leeds accepted Leicester's offer, but once I came here and saw how good the set-up was and how much they wanted me, it was an easy decision to make. Placates the fans of both clubs, job done. He's hardly going to come out and say Grayson's a cock, Leeds are going nowhere and I can't wait to leave is he?
jonthefox Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 leeds fans aint happy. http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php?tno=323&fid=14&sty=2&act=1&mid=2117164590#p30319057
StarFox Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 I interpret his statement to mean that he is shocked to be leaving leeds, hasn't set his mind on coming to Leicester yet and that he wants a premiership club to put in a better offer.
MPH Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 waynegandy @kpschmeichel1 England or Denmark ? 15 Jun in reply to ↑ kasper schmeichel @keywayrider10 denmark of course! ---------------------- @kpschmeichel1 Are you able to play for England? 15 Jun in reply to ↑ kasper schmeichel @leeparry101 no i dont think so The rules were changed about 5 years ago. If he hasn't played for the national team in a competitive game then he can switch to England especially as he has been living here for more than. 6 years. Although judging by the other part of your post he would not want to!
sphericalfox Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 I interpret his statement to mean that he is shocked to be leaving leeds, hasn't set his mind on coming to Leicester yet and that he wants a premiership club to put in a better offer. He won't get first team football with a Premiership side. Not at this minute.
StarFox Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 He won't get first team football with a Premiership side. Not at this minute. Perhaps for a club in another country?
MPH Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 I interpret his statement to mean that he is shocked to be leaving leeds, hasn't set his mind on coming to Leicester yet and that he wants a premiership club to put in a better offer. Seems like he was settled there and feels hurt to be pushed out. Posssibly another part to this... players lose their loyalty bonus of they ask for a transfer.. stating publicly you have not asked for one means you probably still get it.
Yojoe36 Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 wow!! big shock for me. But I feel that something else is up. Anyone else agree?
Bert Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 He'll not play for England. Wants to follow in his dads footsteps.
sphericalfox Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 He'll not play for England. Wants to follow in his dads footsteps. Poison chalice in recent years to be a goalkeeper for England. A career killer if you will.
Babylon Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 Seems like he was settled there and feels hurt to be pushed out. I think he wants to walk away on a free, he'd agreed with them to run his contract down. They have now thrown a spanner in the works accepting our bid.... that's how it reads to me.
Blue Bob Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 leeds fans aint happy. http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php?tno=323&fid=14&sty=2&act=1&mid=2117164590#p30319057 What because he is going to a bigger club?? :crylaugh:

kingfox Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 Just as we were getting excited and we thought it was done and dusted he comes out with a statement. Bollocks <_<
Danny the Fox 95 Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 there are rumours that Celtic also want him source???
