davieG Posted 30 April 2013 Share Posted 30 April 2013 Kasper Schmeichel's form for Leicester City this season has prompted speculation that he could be on the radar of some Premier League clubs. The Denmark international goalkeeper was named in the PFA Championship team of the season on Sunday, voted for by his fellow professionals, along with team-mate Wes Morgan. ​ Kasper Schmeichel Schmeichel said he has been pleased with his own form this season. And although the 26-year-old will be entering the final year of his contract next season, he insists he is enjoying life at the King Power Stadium. "I don't pay any attention to speculation," he said. "I have another year on my contract and I am very happy here. I like being here. The club has been very good to me and the fans have been great to me. "I genuinely enjoy coming into training every day. We have a great training facility and good coaches who make the day enjoyable. They make sure we work hard but with a smile on our face. "I genuinely do drive to training every day very happy." Defeat to Watford on Friday has left City's play-off hopes hanging by the thinnest of threads and Schmeichel admits this season has been a rollercoaster ride. "Emotionally, it has been very up and down," he said. "The first half of the season we played very well and the second half we haven't really been able to get things going in the same gear as we did before. "Personally, I am happy enough with my form. For me, being a goalkeeper is about being consistent and I feel I have played very consistently this season." Schmeichel admits if City do fail to make the play-offs it will come as a crushing blow to everyone at the club. "There is no secret we have been going for promotion this season," he said. "The Championship is a difficult league but we should have done better than we have done." Championship team of the season: Kaspar Schmeichel (City), Kieran Trippier (Burnley), Wes Morgan (City), Mark Hudson (Cardiff), Wayne Bridge (Brighton), Wilfried Zaha (Crystal Palace), Thomas Ince (Blackpool), Peter Whittingham (Cardiff), Yannick Bolasie (Crystal Palace), Glenn Murray (Crystal Palace), Matej Vydra (Watford).

Callabinho Posted 30 April 2013 Share Posted 30 April 2013 Until Swansea bid for him. Then he will be very happy at Swansea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 30 April 2013 Share Posted 30 April 2013 Good to read, obviously. But I never read too much into this sort of stuff, they're all footballers/human and if a better job offer is there he'll probably want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzell Posted 30 April 2013 Share Posted 30 April 2013 We should be looking to extend his contract sometime soon. I really hope he sticks with us but if someone does come in for him from the Premier League, then I could see him packing his bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitlock Posted 30 April 2013 Share Posted 30 April 2013 To be fair to any player that gets interviewed, they don't really have a choice but to say the right things. He'll be happy and enjoy training at the next club he will be at as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFS Posted 30 April 2013 Share Posted 30 April 2013 Said exactly the same things at Leeds then slated them when he came here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langston Posted 30 April 2013 Share Posted 30 April 2013 Said exactly the same things at Leeds then slated them when he came here. Arguably - but then again, did his old man ever repeatedly say in public how happy he was at Leeds? I think we've got his dad's backing and that could play some part (however slim) in keeping hold of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was never Premier League interest was it? I can't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobHawk Posted 30 April 2013 Share Posted 30 April 2013 Said exactly the same things at Leeds then slated them when he came here. To be fair he was almost forced out of Leeds and was essentially blamed for their terrible defensive record the previous season! Certainly left under a black cloud which was not of his own creation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordi_LCFC Posted 30 April 2013 Share Posted 30 April 2013 Think he will be here next year, however, if we fail to get promotion again I hink he will be off, and I wouldn't blame him.

whoareyaaa Posted 30 April 2013 Share Posted 30 April 2013 I hope he does stay here great player to have around the camp and you always need your keeper to have a big mouth and be in constant talk the men in front of him. Plus hes a nutter at times which is brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeman's Wharfer Posted 30 April 2013 Share Posted 30 April 2013 I think he'll give it one more year and leave for free next summer if we don't go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerrrFox Posted 30 April 2013 Share Posted 30 April 2013 Fact is if Vorm leaves Swansea and they want him he will go. Laudrup is a hero of Kasper's being a Denmark legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mack Posted 30 April 2013 Share Posted 30 April 2013 Said exactly the same things at Leeds then slated them when he came here. This. However I don't think he will slag us off when he leaves, the Leeds fans didn't seem at all bothered to see him go and slagged him off a bit, probably typical Leeds short sighted inbred reaction to his father and who he played for.

whitlock Posted 1 May 2013 Share Posted 1 May 2013 Can't ever blame a player wanting to better himself and play in the premier league. It's not going to happen with us this season, so I think its inevitable that he is a goner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitlock Posted 5 November 2013 Share Posted 5 November 2013 Will stay if we go up. Will leave on a free if we don't. Can't imagine him signing a new contract mid season, unless we are pissing away with the league, which isn't going to be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
