RowlattsFox Posted 26 July 2022 Share Posted 26 July 2022 when we have to let Kasper and Vardy go because we can't get rid anyone else In all seriousness, I wonder if Vardy would also be tempted should an opportunity arise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted 26 July 2022 Share Posted 26 July 2022 Well the club should have been thoroughly preparing for his departure anyway, so I have full confidence in them… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarles Barkley Posted 26 July 2022 Share Posted 26 July 2022 Probably a good time to move on if a suitable replacement can come in but not a fan of leaving it so close to start of new season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows, I can't see how anything that's happened to the club has come as that much of a shock. There is no way Top and the directors genuinely think we are a shoe in for CL or even Europe every year and they've meticulously planned the training ground and stadium expansion and is being financed as best they can to mitigate the impact it will have on the short to medium term running of the club. Covid will have hit us, but we qualified for Europe in both those years so again I'd hope that has enabled us to plug some of that. Tops been claiming he thinks we're in a good place to challenge for Europe again so either he's very delusional in his expectations or once again there'll be support there to do so and that the club aren't in the mindset of cutting costs left, right and centre in a salvage mission from unpalatable losses.

Still like Raya, and it looks like he will be leaving Brentford; they already signed a possible replacement and he is refusing to sign a deal. Kasper is a legend though, and we won’t be replacing him with a better shot stopper. Or stop playing in such a way the defence are constantly under pressure? This is going to be this seasons “We’d have been alright if we didn’t lose Fofana in a friendly”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he said: "Leicester’s wages-to-turnover ratio is very high and simply unsustainable at the current levels". "Financial losses for next year, on current projections, could be over £90 million" "Financial Fair Play that are the bigger concerns." If it's unsustainable, letting a player go who earns £120k and getting in a couple of players for fees and then £60k a pop does nothing to solve that issue.

AjcW Posted 26 July 2022 Share Posted 26 July 2022 Not sure how people didn’t see this coming. Planted the seed in interviews last season, as did his dad. Was given a longer holiday to go and sort the deal… we’ve played Iverson most of pre season and he wasn’t allowed to join Preston (they signed an alternative early on) We’ll have known about it for a while I’m sure. Only reason it’ll have come out is because both sides are ready to complete. My bet would be final appearance for 30 mins or so at the KP against Seville. A send off of sorts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaMen Tom Posted 26 July 2022 Share Posted 26 July 2022 They could have bought Matt Turner cheap and he'd be an excellent replacement. Instead Arsenal got him. Similar to Kasper, but more athletic and comands his area better. If offered a chance to start vs backup he'd have said yes in a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 26 July 2022 Share Posted 26 July 2022 6 minutes ago, lcfc_forever said: 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. I can only assume the stats showing his underperformance relate to set pieces and set pieces alone. His shot stopping ability from open play is extraordinary. I know he HAS to take plenty of the blame for the set piece problems as he stays rooted to his line but we've always known that's a weakness and I don't see where else he's underperforming. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covid is massive, I did try to tell people at the time. If we'd not sold players in previous years we'd have made large losses, and we had covid and spent £60m last summer. We've paid the price of ambition, as Percy said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgfualol Posted 26 July 2022 Share Posted 26 July 2022 Iversen will step up I reckon, just needs a few games. He's probs done more in league football than Ward has. Plus he's probably on £3 a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKLFox Posted 26 July 2022 Share Posted 26 July 2022 17 minutes ago, Sharpe's Fox said: 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. I'm sure i've read on here before that Kasper generally doesn't mix with the group & is a bit of big head so if true not sure the closeness will be gone with him. The rest agree, he's part of the scars of Leicester City for that will be missed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 26 July 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 26 July 2022 Lafont from Nantes is who we ought to go for if we're paying money for a keeper. Might as well give them €40m and get Ludovic Blas as well (both available for €20m a piece) and we'll be flying. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember any obvious ones off of the top of my head, although I may be mistaken. Thing is as well, we beat the oppositions press and we're into their half - I would say we get a lot more success from keeping the ball on the floor and passing it through the lines than we probably would lumping it forward. Yes because the only alternative is nasty route one, anti football, lumping it forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rachhere Posted 26 July 2022 Share Posted 26 July 2022 I just let out an involuntary whimper. I will be absolutely gutted if he leaves so suddenly, but there have been a few things which have felt a bit weird over the past few months when it comes to Kasper. Ideal situation for me would be him staying for another year and mentoring Iverson to see whether he has what it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
