bald reynard Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 Grayson's interview published on the Leeds OS an hour or so ago, seemed to imply that he thought Schmeichel was a bit 'dodgy'. He said, that the defence required improving and that another goalkeeper was needed to do that. He said a deal for someone else to come in, had been lined up before City's bid for KS - and (again) implied that they (whoever it was) would replace Schmeichel - "to tighten up a defence that was very leaky last season". I hope we're not taking another 'flapper' - I've never seen Schmeichel over a full game (only MoD highlights). Of course, it could be that Grayson's trying to put on a 'brave face' (perhaps for Bates' decision to sell ?!). I suppose if the sale has gone through against Grayson's wishes, he would try to rubbish Schmeichel and make it sound (to the fans) that he was going to replace him anyway.
Wherethefoxhat? Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 not a chance...grayson will not let him go..and kasper wont want to go...leeds would want more than 2 million for him...Leeds are looking at promotion like we are they wont sell there best players !...be nice to have him..cant see it ! DOH !!!!!!!!!!!
savedave Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 And panics if the ball is passed back to him on the ground. By the sounds of things he's not the finished article. He is however, only 24 which is still very young for a GK. Sven has brought/is bringing him in because he obviously knows him well and he ticks the relevant boxes (as a footballer and a person). :sge:
Babylon Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 Just to clarify, I think Hackney was talking about Weale.
Babylon Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 He was talking about Weale. We know that... some don't.
hackneyfox Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 I was talking about Weale, his lack of control of the ball was one of the many reasons I preferred Ricardo in goal.
Ric Flair Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 Sounds to me like Schmeichel has all the natural ability of pulling off stunning saves but the common theme from the Leeds lot is he can't organise a defence. Well if our defence consists of a similar motley crew to last season then we could be in trouble again. Fear not though, we have a very good goalkeeping coach who has proven in his time here of how he improves goalies positional sense and command of the area. Sweet.
hackneyfox Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 Ooh the irony, that'll miss a few heads by some distance.

So in other words, their getting rid of their decent keeper to buy decent defenders instead. I think they'll run into the same problems we had last season tbh
Carlos9 Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 "When you concede the number of goals that we did, it's obviously an area where one or two players are vulnerable and we need to change it around slightly." - Simon Grayson Can't be good for the lads confidence!

davieG Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 Leeds linked with Lee Grant - http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/burnley/news/9096557.Leeds_United_linked_with_Burnley_goalkeeper/?ref=rss Sky Sports News reporting that Leeds have an agreement for an unnamed goalkeeper.
Leicfox Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 Didn't someone on this thread say Leeds conceded 65 goals with him in goal from 40 appearances last season? As you'll probably already know.. The majority of the time it's not the keepers fault goals are conceded. Defensive frailties like we've seen on many occasions, are the major cause for concern especially when the Midfield push forward looking for goals, and leave massive gaps and no protection, leaving the keeper to pick the ball from the net and have another goal conceded on his record.

lestajigs Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 I was talking about Weale, his lack of control of the ball was one of the many reasons I preferred Ricardo in goal. Didn't think that, I thought u liked weale better
sphericalfox Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 Shall I say it first... whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I remember him at Derby. Lee Grant cannot be seriously thought of as better than Kaspar. When he played for the Owls he was about their best player, but that wasn't hard in a very poor side. I think Papa Smurf has made the request to sell to buy. It's evident when Prem teams are sniffing around Gradel and Snodgrass, and in all honesty they have been lucky to hold onto those players last year. But I digress. I think if that's their number one choice of GK to replace Kaspar we had got the better deal.
Webbo Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 As you'll probably already know.. I do. I was replying to a quote about our current goalkeeper costing us on average a goal a game. I was just pointing out KS's average wasn't anything to shout about.I was just being a smart arse. Time will tell if he's a good signing, I can't say I know enough about him to judge yet.
Callabinho Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 Me thinks Mr. Grayson has made a boob of himself...
Guest Col city fan Posted 21 June 2011 Posted 21 June 2011 Me thinks Mr. Grayson has made a boob of himself... Not been on here today... Have we actually signed him yet??!!

I think Leeds will try and sign Paul Rachubka on free, released by Blackpool, and is/was highly regarded by Grayson. Decent keeper when ever I've seen him,
