acooling08 Posted 14 October 2012 Share Posted 14 October 2012 Kasper is mid-table Premiership quality at absolute best. No way he's good enough for Real Madrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davieG Posted 14 October 2012 Author Share Posted 14 October 2012 Don't be fooled. Kasper is a top keeper, and comes across as a very ambitious young man. If there is truth in this story, he would want to go to Real Madrid, of course he would. How old is Casillas now? (It seems like he's been around for ever). Err 31 as quote in both the rumour links.

Happy Fox Posted 14 October 2012 Share Posted 14 October 2012 http://www.marca.com/2012/10/14/en/football/real_madrid/1350200571.html?a=PR9c75c8d13eec5b332993be21de575808b&t=1350208320 Mourinho seeks goalkeeper 10/14/2012 Print Send According to the programme 'Futboleros', on MARCA TV, Real Madrid is combing the market for a goalkeeper to compete with Casillas and who would be a suitable reliable replacement for Spain's international goalie in case of injury or suspension. It is not a question of finding a replacement for Iker, but of getting a goalkeeper who would take over from him in due course. Despite the fact that Casillas has kept a fine array of great keepers on the bench during his Real Madrid career - Illgner, César, Diego López, Dudek, Adán, and in his career with the Spanish national side - Cañizares, Reina, Palop and Valdés, at Real Madrid they think it is essential for Iker to have a goalkeeper to put a little pressure on him in training, and who could even take his place in cup matches with complete confidence. Anyone who has worked alongside Casillas will have no doubt. "Whenever Iker has competition, or sees his place threatened, then his output multiplies". The current second-choice keeper, Adán, will be out of contract on 30th June next year and has made it very clear that he will have left Real Madrid by next season. The club wants the incoming keeper to be no more than 25 or 26 years old. Additionally, he must have experience in the first division, and he must come at a reasonable price, not representing an investment any higher than €3 million. Roberto, of Zaragoza, and Andrés Fernández, of Osasuna, are at the top of Real's list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Prussian Posted 14 October 2012 Share Posted 14 October 2012 Just dress Conrad Logan up as Kasper (in full keeper gear ), send him over instead and demand £10m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty78 Posted 14 October 2012 Share Posted 14 October 2012 Thanks.. So Real Madrid may well realistically be looking for a good successor then? Kasper will probably be older than Casillas is now by the time he retires. It would be as back-up and Kasper would be unlikely to ever make No.1. I personally don't think he anywhere near the quality to be first choice at one of World's biggest clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominicmsb Posted 14 October 2012 Share Posted 14 October 2012 Kaspar completely idolizes Iker Casillas from interviews I've heard. I wouldn't be surprised if he fancied a move there to work with him for a few years and learn off him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MattP Posted 14 October 2012 Share Posted 14 October 2012 Don't believe the story. Massive at our fans who think he'd turn down a move to Real Madrid as he doesn't want to be a bench warmer. Real Madrid guys, Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trav Le Bleu Posted 14 October 2012 Share Posted 14 October 2012 Casillas has probably got at least another 5 good seasons in him - Kasper could be warming that bench for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thracian Posted 14 October 2012 Share Posted 14 October 2012 Kasper's got the best top level preparation he could be involved in at Leicester. He's getting games that test him in a situation where he's not likely to be displaced and in a team that's competing seriously for promotion to the Premirship. Such a promotion would give him the perfect introduction to top class football and the further vital experience he needs to become a goalkeeping legend like his father. Real Madrid is the wrong place at the wrong time for the lad. Even he got a break at Real he's not ready to take it yet and that's not meant unkindly. There's no licence at Real to learn as you go along - goalkeeper's at their level have to get it right a lot more consistently than elsewhere and against much more accomplished finishers. Kasper still has his weaknesses and doesn't need the confidence-draining experience of having them exposed at Real just yet. He's popular here - his attitude to the game is inspiring even on a bad day - and that's the way he needs to keep it for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col city fan Posted 14 October 2012 Share Posted 14 October 2012 Can't believe Casillas is only 31! Can't remember a Real Madrid team without him personally.

MC Prussian Posted 14 October 2012 Share Posted 14 October 2012 All in all, whether you like it or not, it's good news for Kasper whose market value should increase by a notch or two after these "informations" have been leaked to the press. And it would help the club negotiate a larger fee should he ever leave before the end of his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Year Of The Fox Posted 14 October 2012 Share Posted 14 October 2012 Even if he fancied it, nothing will happen til at least January, and even then NP will want a ready made player to fill his boots. We're no longer a selling club and whilst NP wouldn't stand in his way of a massive move he wouldnt do it to the detriment of our squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
