Ross_Spencer Posted 24 June 2011 Posted 24 June 2011 So is there a good chance that Schmeichel will be signing today? :sge: From the Mercury: Meanwhile, the Mercury understands talks with goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel's representatives have begun, but there is still a long way to go before a deal can be completed.Schmeichel was shocked when Leeds United announced on Monday that they had accepted City's bid, believed to be £1 million, and knows he has no future at Elland Road. Public statements from manager Simon Grayson and chairman Ken Bates mean there is no way back for the 24-year-old Dane, and Leeds will be eager for Schmeichel to complete a quick switch to City. The Mercury understands Leeds have not received another bid for Schmeichel, and do not want a situation of having to deal with an unwanted player when they return to training on Thursday. However, Schmeichel is considering all his options and City have other goalkeeping possibilities.
Rhysm Posted 24 June 2011 Posted 24 June 2011 READ WHAT I PUT! He had the chance to play with a team that is way bigger than the one he was at, a team that is tipped for promotion and a team with the best manager outside of the Prem! Of course he is going to want to bloody come And I imagine a fair increase on his wages. So you don't think that Kasper can see those things too? I notice he didn't say he wanted to sign a new contract with Leeds either - My gut feeling is that he wanted to sit on his terms and leave Leeds who are in a financial mess with nothing. By accepting the bid and documenting it Leeds have taken the power back which is probably a smart move on their part.

By accepting the bid and documenting it Leeds have taken the power back which is probably a smart move on their part. But he's not coming from a league below to a MUCH bigger club though, he's coming from a very similar club with similar ambitions. You can't expect him to be in love with Leicester, last week he was Leeds' #1 and happy where he was, just because we've shown interest in him doesn't mean he is instantly going to fall in love with us and be really keen to join, I imagine he is still getting his head around being told he is no longer wanted.
Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 24 June 2011 Posted 24 June 2011 Further proof he doesn't really want to be here, if true I say we pull the plug and let him rot at Leeds, we need committed players I'm not sure you can reasonably suggest that...for instance didn't Sven sign a two year contract or just under - would you say he doesn't want to be here?
Simo86 Posted 24 June 2011 Posted 24 June 2011 Bit of a knob that Bates lad! That's an understatement

Aeropars Posted 24 June 2011 Posted 24 June 2011 It's all bollocks. I've heard 3 different rumours on this now, all from supposed reliable sources.
thybluefox Posted 24 June 2011 Posted 24 June 2011 http://www.fansonline.net/leicestercity/mb/view.php?id=369062 This poster has a link to the club. Lives in Manchester and doesn't want to move? Commute then, Gally/Richie do.

Darkon84 Posted 24 June 2011 Posted 24 June 2011 Fourth_Official Hold up in Schmeichel being confirmed was at Leed's end to sign another keeper, he agreed terms on Wednesday when Leeds got the nod #LUFC Leeds have confirmed they have signed Rachubka on a two year deal, so hopefully, we might get some movement on Kasper http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13901387.stm
superfox1980 Posted 24 June 2011 Posted 24 June 2011 Leeds have signed Rachubka today. Can't for the life of me see how that is an improvement on KS. Sounds like Leeds are in a bit of a mess. They're losing players left right and centre. People like Killenny turning down a new deal and potentially signing for Hull, surely that's a backwards step! So all this talk about improving their back line is a load of rubbish really isn't it. They're loss our gain !!
Babylon Posted 24 June 2011 Posted 24 June 2011 Twitter stuff goes in the twitter thread please, that includes fourth official. People are fed up of the twitter stuff, this will be dealt with harshly if people persist.

superfox1980 Posted 24 June 2011 Posted 24 June 2011 Pretty sure it's been made clear that he'll only be used as back-up. Fair enough.
adhart Posted 24 June 2011 Posted 24 June 2011 Pretty sure it's been made clear that he'll only be used as back-up. Yeah they was signing him as a number 2 anyway
CupidStunt Posted 24 June 2011 Posted 24 June 2011 Cant say he lit the championship on fire with his goalkeeping skills last season Average,half decent keeper imo who will get slated by members on this forum, whatever happens good luck to him if he comes, but certainly not a keeper i'd be cracking one off over the thought of him coming to LCFC Why are Leeds so keen to offload?
Ross_Spencer Posted 24 June 2011 Posted 24 June 2011 I'm hoping that Leicester will sort out the contract negotiations over the weekend because Leeds are apparently starting training on Thursday and I'm guessing Leeds don't want Schmeichel there
RyanB89 Posted 24 June 2011 Posted 24 June 2011 Leeds quite simply dont want him to go on a free at the end of the season, so there only option is to sell now, makes sense to me.
RyanB89 Posted 24 June 2011 Posted 24 June 2011 Pretty sure it's been made clear that he'll only be used as back-up. No he thinks he can be there number 1, haha.
millzi Posted 24 June 2011 Posted 24 June 2011 No he thinks he can be there number 1, haha. Oh dear He's awful!
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 24 June 2011 Posted 24 June 2011 We will wait and see but like the stories have said it seems KS is not the only keeper City have been looking at
RyanB89 Posted 24 June 2011 Posted 24 June 2011 Good job, if kasper doesnt want to come we need other options.
