Anyone know what this is about?

 

 

Yeah, he’s not got an Instagram account. 

 

Also, am I right in saying he’s yet to concede a goal for us during 90 minutes?

Mignolet, Liverpool's 2nd choice keeper, has joined Brugges for 6.4 million.

 

We've been had.

We really haven’t.

Watching Ward he seems to be better with the ball at his feet than Kasper, I do wonder at what point Kasper's weaker distribution will drive Brendan mad enough to want to bench him, and if he'd be brave enough to actually do it

Not sure we've been watching the same matches, I thought he looked awful with his feet

Withdrawn from the Wales squad due to personal reasons.

His wife is due to give birth I believe.

Will he ever be number one somewhere? Obviously happy to be number two here but you’d of thought he could be number one somewhere else in the prem

you probably would had said the same about Nick Pope a couple of years ago now he's their no1 and their captain was sold to Vilaa this past summer, something happened to Kasper and he got in then there is no guarantee Kasper would get back in, providing Ward performed well.

Very unlikely. Kasper is two or three levels above Ward IMO. Pope and Heaton are on a similar level.

I see Danny Ward has stated it’s frustrating being behind Kasper or something like that. 

[scinnell]

But he was happy enough to sign a new contract not so long ago😂

Full interview here. Very fair interview if you ask me!

[MrsJohnMurphy]

I wouldn't expect him to say "Yeah, I'm happy to be number 2"

 

He's no Conrad Logan

Perhaps when his ability with his hands and shot stopping abilities start to curtail. I've been a big critic in the past of Caspar's distribution and dominance of his box but ... this has to be tempered against all his other goalkeeping attributes and the latter, for me, still far overwhelm the former and Ward, as much as a decent player he is, is not remotely in the same bracket.

let's be real it's kasper's role as a person around the team more so than his abilities as a goalie that keep him starting.

Let’s be real, Kasper just a couple of weeks a go made some out of this world saves to win us the FA Cup, Danny Ward has a decent game against Switzerland and you think Kasper is only in the side for his personality around the team?

Must be the reason Morgan, Fuchs and James started so many game last season?

He’s our number one, because he’s one of the best goalkeepers in Europe. 
Ward is a good backup keeper, and has not ever let us down, but he’s not even close to Kasper’s level as a goalkeeper.

That also in fairness.

I mean that quote from me was nearly 2 years old, the only way Ward will be playing ahead of a fully fit Kasper is if Kasper gets injured and Ward Nick Pope's him and we end up letting Kasper leave to play first team football

So a not fully fit Kasper then?

Unless it was a really long term injury I think realistically he'd come straight back in regardless of how well Ward did in the meantime. He's probably our first choice keeper until he decides otherwise - whether or not you think that's a good thing is another matter, of course

like I said, with Burnley Heaton was out for the season when he came back Pope was preferred over him and they eventually let Heaton go, a month of so and yes Kasper would come straight back in when fit, 6 months or more who knows?
