Fez of Mahrez Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 As long as he doesn't throw it in his own net in the last minute away at Forest, I don't really care who's in goal for us or whether he wants to be here or not. Goalkeepers who don't throw it in their own net are much of a muchness. I'll take any of them.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 Bit presumptious saying leeds will be mid table. Whos to say we wont be?
Carlos9 Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 Class signing! Young goal keeper looking to follow in his dads footsteps!
General Smuts Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 Was always odd to me that Westwood would go to Sunderland. Surely he'd be 3rd choice behind Mignolet and Gordon?
Jon the Hat Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 Was always odd to me that Westwood would go to Sunderland. Surely he'd be 3rd choice behind Mignolet and Gordon? He won't think that though will he? And he will be setting himself up for life with a Prem contract.
Yojoe36 Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 Nuff said eh? Would you not have this bloke in your side also? Due to this? Weale's not a disaster, he wasn't up to it this year but people were waaaay too fast to forgot what he did under Pearson, new era now I know but that year alone proved he isn't "useless" or "a disaster". Yeah but Yakubu didn't do that for us. While Weale did......... Twice
Yojoe36 Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 "Grayson is now eyeing out-of-contract Coventry keeper Keiren Westwood" Now knowing this, and that Sunderland are after him, ain't Schmeicel pissed? As if he wasn't already of course
SuperNotts Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 Thought I would bump this up again... If you get him, you won't regret it. Fantastic Keeper. 0:44 seconds in and 2:22 a world class save.

Danny the Fox 95 Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 Any news? Just tweeted fourth official on twitter asking him any more news on schmeichel and once he's replied i'll post it on here!
acooling08 Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 From the Merc: Leeds United have accepted a bid from Leicester City for goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, but Bristol City have rejected City's offer for striker Nicky Maynard. United have announced they have decided to sell the 24-year-old Dane after accepting an undisclosed offer, believed to be around £1 million. Since then, in his own statement, Schmeichel has expressed his shock at the news. However, City still face a fight to convince Bristol to part company with their record signing Maynard, and it may be the player himself who will break the deadlock. A bid, believed to be around £3 million, was tabled over the weekend for the 24-year-old striker but Robins chairman Colin Sexstone still insists their star striker will not be sold, and certainly not to another Championship club. Sexstone, who has revealed that two other Championship clubs have expressed an interest in Maynard, added that if the player indicated he wanted to leave then Bristol may be forced to rethink. "We don't want to sell Nicky we want to keep him," Sexstone told the Bristol Evening Post. "Nicky is still away on holiday but when the players report back next week, the manager is going to chat to him. "He has always indicated to us that he wants to stay, but if he indicates that he doesn't want to stay, then that puts a different complexion on it. But we don't want to sell him and we certainly don't want to sell him to a Championship club. "Until Nicky signs a contract here or doesn't the speculation and interest from other clubs will continue, because he is a good player. "We have had two more clubs express an interest. We have had a direct offer from one club and informal inquiries from two other Championship clubs. "Those clubs haven't made us an offer but there was one phone call and one email asking would we be interested in letting him go and, if so, how much would we want? The answer to both was 'no' but it means people are circling and I don't expect this will be the end of it." Schmeichel has worked with City boss Sven-Goran Eriksson at Manchester City and at Notts County, but is not the only goalkeeper under consideration. The Mercury understands two other stoppers have been targeted by City. Schmeichel is out of contract next summer at Elland Road and Leeds say talks over a new deal have failed. But Schmeichel denies this, saying he was never offered a new deal, and Leeds' surprise announcement may be an attempt to force through a transfer. Although City have made the offer, they are still considering all their goalkeeping options. "I have been put in a very difficult situation and will spend some time considering my options for my future," said Schmeichel. Not sure on Kasper. Not seen much of him to be fair. Probably an improvement on Weale.
Danny the Fox 95 Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 From the Merc: Not sure on Kasper. Not seen much of him to be fair. Probably an improvement on Weale. Well he's got to better than fvckin Weale, Personally I think Ricardo,Logan,Kirkland and probably even Ikeme are better than Weale. Really want to get Kasper in just to silence the Leeds scum!
lcfcliam Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 Well he's got to better than fvckin Weale, Personally I think Ricardo,Logan,Kirkland and probably even Ikeme are better than Weale. Really want to get Kasper in just to silence the Leeds scum! You are joking about Ikeme yes?
Danny the Fox 95 Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 You are joking about Ikeme yes? No seriously can't stand Weale I swear he never saves long distance shots! Solid under Pearson until Derby away and hasn't been the same since.
lcfcliam Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 No seriously can't stand Weale I swear he never saves long distance shots! Solid under Pearson until Derby away and hasn't been the same since. Yeah got to agree with you on that one mate, i honstely thought he could of been a really good keeper, personally i still think he is but if Schmeichels coming in i can't see him playing much
acooling08 Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 Looks like we've got him. BBC: Leeds United have accepted an undisclosed offer from Leicester City for goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel. The Denmark international, 24, joined Leeds from Notts County in July 2010 and has since made 40 appearances. Manager Simon Grayson told the club website: "We feel this is the right deal for the club. "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." He added: "Given the fact he has one year remaining on his contract we feel this is in the best interests of Leeds." The former Manchester City player, who is the son of former Denmark and Manchester United keeper Peter Schmeichel, worked with current Leicester manager Sven Goran-Eriksson while at Meadow Lane. Barring any last minute hitches in the deal, it leaves Leeds without a recognised first-choice keeper following the departure of Shane Higgs.
Babylon Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 Looks like we've got him. BBC: Welcome to three days ago. Tanner "There will be developments in Schmeichel saga today."
Liamlcfc1 Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 RobTannerMerc Rob Tanner@ @Georgearmston16 Leeds might be making another statement.
thybluefox Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 He won't be staying at Leeds now, just have to hope no one else comes in for him.
UrbanFox Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 ****! I bet it's a new contract! exactly what im thinking! Got a really bad feeling about this
Babylon Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 Probably be them saying another bid has been excepted... Wet Spam no doubt exactly what im thinking! Got a really bad feeling about this He wanted to run down his contract there, so I doubt it.
