Kasper Schmeichel officially joins Nice

[iancognito]

High body fat, that's bullshit.

 

He came back a couple of seasons ago 2 stone lighter after changing his diet and training regime around. He's always trained individually because funnily enough at that age he might just know what his body needs to recover. The fact he went 149 games on the spin suggests he's right too.

Sounds more like one of those Euro sports paper hatchet jobs.

Moving Kasper on was the right decision, as his wages were out of proportion with where we are. 
 

Could it have been handled? Yes, without a shadow of doubt.

He would hand got his hand on far more than ward  and maybe got an extra 6 points or so

That was 3 years ago now, a lot of time for things to change with his physique

 

All well and good him training individually and doing what he wants whilst he is here (he still trained as a group with the keepers), but at a new club under a new manager where he might not be part of the leadership group means you can’t get away with not doing what the manager wants or turning up to training or meetings late etc.

Sounds like he’s having a hard time there, the grass isn’t always greener.

Dunno why people say this.

 

If you want a new challenge then fair play, in any profession, so easy to just stay in one place.

 

The only shame for me is that Schmeichel didn't make 500 games which he could have done. We'll never see another player near 500 games for us.

Because he jumped at the first opportunity that’s why I say it, could of had another season or two with us then gone on to another challenge.

Hardly the first opportunity, he's had plenty of suitors over the years, he's just not been interested. For whatever reason **cough** Rodgers **cough*" he decided it was time to move on. A real shame because, despite his flaws, he was a great keeper and after over 10 years at the club he is officially "Well Leicester".

He's 35, he might not have another two seasons in him. And hardly jumping at the first opportunity given he was at the club 10 years.

[Shane]

Come home Kasper!!

[TiffToff88]

Can genuinely see him coming back on loan in January

[Fear Of The Fox]

The most important thing for Kasper right now is to keep his position as the main GK for Denmark. He's also the vice captain there. I don't think he will be dropped for Ronnow but tonight's game against Croatia is important and he needs to avoid any mistakes.

He was one of the top 10 highest paid keepers in the world here, I’m not sure there were many that would’ve realistically matched or exceeded that.

A few tenuous links to united over the years given his name.

Would be funny if he was replaced by a keeper playing second fiddle to Ward who can’t get a game.

You know that for sure do you? You've seen every keeper in the world's p60.

😀 Not happening though unless Iversen is picked for us (which I find bizarre isn't happening, he's a decent Danish GK, tall etc but this is another sad story). Ronnow and especially Christensen are good GKs.

Probably a daft question on here but does ANYONE know why one of our club legends was able to creep out the back door to Nice, without having any sort of send-off? 
I find it just wrong that this was allowed to happen

He didn't sneak out the back door, same with any summer transfer that happens while we're not playing, we're not going to organise a good bye party for him. 

 

He'll be back to salute the crowd soon I'm sure.

I wonder if he was 1 of the more vocal figures, in their dislike of Brendan and where he was taking us. Spoke to the "higher-ups" who knocked back his concerns, so thought sod it, and got his agent asking around.

We'll know when Rodgers leaves I guess. Players tend to express their opinion about a manager after the sack. I'm certain both Kasper and Vardy will speak out as they're (were for Kasper) the most feisty characters in this team. A team which in my opinion is the softest in the history of PL in terms of character, passion and aggression on pitch towards opposition and refs. 

Don't get me wrong, I don't like overly aggressive feisty players but it seems like our scouting has on priority players with shy, sentimental attributes. I think it's down to the management also. 

[Captain...]

It is interesting to read some of the comments about Kasper at Nice thinking back to the rumours of player power at the KP and stories of him acting the "big I am" before the Forest Cup debacle. Maybe he was a bit too much of an influence in the dressing room and that put a few noses out of joint. I do wish he was still here though, somebody needs to kick these players into gear and it isn't looking like Rodgers is going to.
