Sharpe's Fox Posted 26 July 2022 Share Posted 26 July 2022 The biggest loss of Kasper leaving will be the mentality and connection to the Pearson days when the squad was so, so tight. I don't know if thats trickled down to the new generation yet but maybe it's naive of me thinking 7 years on that can be maintained. Losing the standard of goalkeeper he is? Meh. Losing a club legend? Farewell , sweet prince. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While like many others became frustrated with his lack coming out for the ball, be careful what you wish for. Kept us in so many games and has provided so much leadership across the years, not easily replaced. An actual legend for our club. Yep, not many teams get 11 years out of a top player. For all his weaknesses, we will miss him if he goes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingkisnorbo Posted 26 July 2022 Share Posted 26 July 2022 I think we’ve seen enough of Ward to know he won’t ever muster enough to be number one. I’d personally focus on the younger options. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnegan Posted 26 July 2022 Share Posted 26 July 2022 (edited) It will be absolutely peak Leicester if we spend ages waiting to sell a player so we can buy a player only to then sell a goalkeeper meaning we're obligated to make our first/only signing... a goalkeeper. I think the only way this could end up being More Leicester is if the goalkeeper is also our first ever Brazilian. And then we end up playing Ward anyway because he turns out to be shit.

Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 26 July 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 26 July 2022 6 minutes ago, SemperEadem said: Who starts as number one for you, Ward or Iversen? I'll be honest, neither fill me with the level of confidence that Kasper does (even with his lack of commanding his area faults) Schmeichel has been colossal for us and will be a huge miss, but we know it's coming ever since the articles started around him planning for life after Leicester, he didn't seem that happy last season and I don't blame him really. He owes us nothing, he's been such a presence for us on and off the field and it feels very weird genuinely discussing him going. Maybe it's not going to happen yet, the source might be misconstrued somewhat or jumped the gun and will be interesting to hear Rodgers field questions over his captain but it wouldn't be the first gargantuan player and captain of the club he manages be moved on and how he handles that will be telling. There's not much in it at the minute in terms of Ward and Iversen except that Iversen at least actually plays regular games and has proven he's one of the best in the Championship, the club I've been told rate Stolarczyk higher though but maybe that's in the future and not now. Ward did do well for Wales in the Euros and he's solid enough but any of them have both a massive opportunity and huge act to follow if indeed rhis is all true. End of an era, WOW. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolhandfox Posted 26 July 2022 Share Posted 26 July 2022 Wages are a bigger issue than transfer fees. When a player is purchased, his cost is capitalised on the balance sheet and is written down (amortised) over the length of his contract. So player A brought for 30m on a 5 year contract is amortised by a club in its accounts to the value of 6m per season. You can kick the can further down the street by giving them a new contract 2 years in, as you can re-amortise the remaining book value of the player over the new contract. We could buy 3 players this summer for 75m on 5-year contracts and it would only affect the accounts by 15m per year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dahnsouff Posted 26 July 2022 Share Posted 26 July 2022 (edited) 7 minutes ago, pmcla26 said: Could also be Iverson's premium market value as well. A lot of top flight clubs in Europe might take a gamble on him after a solid couple of seasons in the Championship, but if he comes into the Premier League and disappoints, all of that value could disappear, and we've got enough players in the squad that that's happened to. It's a real conundrum. Indeed, this is a good point, but if you are going to make youth your direction then you need to be brave and set an example, trust what you purport to focus on If it fails, then pick yourself up and try again Edited 26 July 2022 by Dahnsouff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southfox66 Posted 26 July 2022 Share Posted 26 July 2022 There is always Conrad Logan and according to the Internet he's only just down the road at Anstey Nomads, with his years of experience at Leicester, we"ll never notice if Kasper does go. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 26 July 2022 Share Posted 26 July 2022 Only me who thinks given his age we should be commanding a decent fee as well? Maybe his grotesque wages muddy the waters with that but he will play on another 4-5 years easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babylon Posted 26 July 2022 Share Posted 26 July 2022 9 minutes ago, Ric Flair said: The big saving will start next summer. This summer we will be trying our hardest to get rid of some bit we know it's going to be difficult. The restrictions on wages to turnover is phased anyway so its not quite as bleak yet but we really are going to have to consider a rung down on the types of signing we now go for or at least stop offering the types of players we go for the salaries we've been doing, many of them double/trebling the salary they were on. Depends on the club doesn't it, £90m loss is pretty horrific and delaying things just makes it harder next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfc_forever Posted 26 July 2022 Share Posted 26 July 2022 Mixed feelings on this. He is truly a legend of the club and his influence is huge. He's also got the drive and mentality that inspires those around him. But his performances over the past three seasons haven't been consistent, although he's had brilliant matches, most notably the FA Cup win vs Chelsea. The stats suggest he underperformed his expected goals conceded in a big way in 20/21, although he was better in 21/22. And last season showed weaknesses in his game, especially claiming crosses, when he doesn't have a commanding CB in front of him. It was a key part in costing us CL in 20/21 when he scored the own goal vs Spurs, and we struggled defending set pieces all last season. I think we can get a better goalkeeper but I doubt we'll find someone with his character and leadership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont rate him at all. He's erratic... he's small. Brentford barely kept a clean sheet despite playing 5 at the back. I promise you Iversen will go on to have a better career than him... thats exactly why brentford would be happy to get rid. This would be the goal keeping equivalent of signing Vesty! Genuinely think he's the worst keeper in the league imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxxed Posted 26 July 2022 Share Posted 26 July 2022 So he's left to play in the UEFA Conference League's playoff rounds in a sunnier city? Good luck fella.
