Like any new transfer as such..can say its a great signing but till they have settled in/had a run of games you don't really know how it's working out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Posted 27 July 2022 Share Posted 27 July 2022 Whilst Kasper has his flaws, neither Iversen or Ward are at his level. At some point within the next 12 months, that baton needed to be passed, be it to them or another. If we do look to sign another keeper, I’d imagine Ward will look to move on also. So we’d most likely need to backfill his a lot with an experienced 3rd choice GK. Kasper has been a mainstay and whilst many (myself included) have called for him to be dropped due to poor form at times, it’s not like we’ve ever had to worry about that position. This transfer just adds another layer of uncertainty to the upcoming season. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Vardy Posted 27 July 2022 Share Posted 27 July 2022 Ward was (I think) £12m….and a Welsh international, and in the few games he has played has been outstanding when picked. At the same time Iversen is ready to be understudy….can’t see us replacing Kasper, it’s a wage off the bill, and that’s how it is…Kasper has been outstanding for the club, and obviously it will be a blow to lose him, but if not this season it would be next….

Not at the moment, however neither has been given the chance in the Premier League for a decent run of games. Sometimes takes a few games to get to the pace / demands of a Premier League game. Much different to friendlies and cup games. Give them a run and they may flourish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iversen isn’t ready. Ward isn’t good enough. I hear the ‘he’s been good for Wales’ argument a lot on FT, but when did Wales win anything and how often do they actually play. We need a #1 that’s going to get out there confidently week in week out. If the plans is to build up Iversen when Kasper goes, we need a short term signing for an experienced keeper. Ben Foster isn’t the answer either because he’s passed it. He should focus on his podcast 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we allowed hamza and perez for example to leave for nothing I'm pretty sure there wouldn't be an issue, but you are correct there's no way the clubs linked wan to pay 10 to 15 million and wages. Seems 10 years of service has brought kasper enough good will to walk for nothing. That's fine. Just not sure any of this shows us as well run. The notion it’s a free transfer is from a Google translated article.Could quite easily be an error and it reads ‘available as a free from next summer’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobHawk Posted 27 July 2022 Share Posted 27 July 2022 Be gutted to see him go, what a man he is. Even with a new signing, we won't replace Kasper. It may take time for a new keeper to settle. Kaspers been her so long it will be a monumental shift for the team to not have him there. Personally, with the issues we have, I'd give ward and Iverson a shot. They may not be at the level of a club hoping for top 6 but even if they can be solid enough they would be an option for a lower/promoted team in future with a chance of getting a good wedge for them. Right now, they are both unproven in the prem so let's give them a go and see where we are next summer when the real rebuild occurs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 27 July 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 27 July 2022 Iversen should be given the number 1 on sold, absolutely no point in keeping him as back up when we have Ward already and some very talented younger keepers. This is make or break for Iversen. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
