So by that logic, Grayson "didn't know how to deal" with Kasper at Leeds and "couldn't be arsed trying" either, because Sven and Pearson both got the best out of him. And you won't hear a bad word from Man City or Notts Co fans either. EDIT: Just checked, Beckford played 43 times for us, Kasper 37 times for you. So you can't say we haven't tried with him and that you did with Schmeichel. I also know Beckford never got near winning player of the month for us like Kasper did for you.
Lets get it straight though. The first two months Kasper was at leeds, he was worshiped (which at a guess, I'd imagine thats when he got player of the month). We thought he was awesome until he got injured and came back and then just had this terrible attitude and made easy saves look like they were nigh on impossible to make and just kept ****ing up easy situations with defenders (then blamed the defenders). Maybe Grayson couldn't handle him, and I have never used that as an excuse for a player because a player should be professional enough to be able fit himself into the team rather than the other way around. The reason I want beckford back is because I think he would compliment our team nicely at the moment. I am not trying to make you change your mind on him, I just want you to stop openly bragging that you have this ****ing idiot in your goal that you think is awesome and how we have made this huge mistake in selling him
But you have? The guy has cost us something like 800k and we could get something like a 500% resale value of that, easily. He's not a '****ing idiot', either. He clearly made a good career choice coming here.
But we haven't. Two seasons in a row we have gotten keepers that are better, I'm even more confident in Ashdown not making silly mistakes in our goal than I was about Schmeichel. And you keep saying that you can sell him for these millions. But I think in a realistic world, the max you could get for him would be 2m. He was always likely to increase in value but we would had a season and a half of misery with him in goal. And we have already gone over the fact that it wasn't his choice to go to Leicester either, he didn't want to go.
No matter how much you deny it, selling him for the price you did was a mistake. We could easily sell him for 3-5m. If I remember rightly, Kasper sent a twitter video saying it wasn't his choice to leave. This was to cover up his twitter page being hacked, someone managed to write tweets that disrespected Leeds United and he cleared them up. I just think he wanted to leave with good spirits and it's just the Leeds fans' bitterness that has stopped that. If he was **** and you were happy for him to go for the price he did then you wouldn't be moaning about it 18 months later, fact.
But selling him wasn't a mistake. He wouldn't have progressed the same way at leeds because he wouldn't have made the team in actual fact and we actually sold him closer to the 1m mark rising to 1.2m. Not that that matters for the point of this but it wasn't a terrible deal in the circumstances especially considering he only had 1 year left on his contract and he was the highest earner as well so we made savings on wage restrictions. I still don't think you could easily sell him for 3-5m. As I said, the max I think you could get for him is 2m and thats only if people were overpaying. You overrate him remember (as all fans do there own players admittedly) and he is a second tier goalkeeper who has not been able to progress to the next level yet. Kasper did more than a twitter video. Its all already outlined in this thread at his genuine surprise at the bid leeds united accepted and how he said he didn't want to leave. I wasn't aware that his twitter account got hacked though but these are interviews so that doesn't matter As I say he was genuinely surprised, you could tell with the way he was wording everything I'm not moaning about it, just having a fun debate with a couple of leicester fans FACT!
Great, original comeback. What's that, about the eighth time you've used that? Getting ollllllllllld....
Gangsta OLM is still bitter after we smashed them here. Since they arent anywhere near as good as us he can no longer come on here and tell us how **** we are. Thats why he comes here to attack people He has to use Leeds now because even he has realised Hull arent at our level
You do realise this contradicts what you said about Nigel "not being arsed" to sort Beckford out earlier? You seem to change your stance to suit your present argument. You should become a politician. It's clear that Kasper is rated by both Sven ,who has had him at several clubs and Nige, who has never even hinted at bringing in another keeper despite us selling our former No. 1 in the summer without replacing him. He is also rated by fans of other clubs, including those he used to play for and, living in Nottingham as I do, I know a lot of Forest fans who begrudging admitted that we'd made a good signing when we got him. The three or four Leeds fans on this forum are the only people that have ever said anything negative about him to me, and they are biased as they can't admit their club made a massive mistake. Why don't you just admit it? It wasn't your decision. Blindly agreeing with everything your does just makes you look gullible. No wonder you've ended up with Bates and Warnock... We will never stop going on about Kasper, who last season was certainly in our best five and this season, while he hasn't been tested as much, has still done little wrong. So you're going to have to but up with it I'm afraid, and if you don't like, don't come on the Leicester board.
Or maybe you were talking to a different Leeds fan I am not being baised about this, you just can't handle people that have differing opinions about your so called best player. It actually pisses me off that you keep saying that we made a mistake when I have clearly stated the reasons why I believe otherwise. If you could only understand how **** he was for us and how much better Lonergan was bearing in mind that we sold Kasper for around 1m and bought Lonergan for around 200k, Kenny is a more rounded keeper but not as good shot-stopping wise imo but he is still cheaper. There is far more than three or four leeds fans that think he isn't worth the money. Just understand that we don't rate him, stop talking as if we do really we're just scared to admit it. We are happy, you are happy just realise leeds fans will never want Schmeichel back at our club because we will never be that desperate again Thats great that you will never stop going on about seemingly your favourite player. But stop acting as if we are bothered about us selling him and that we wish we didn't. Get over it, he is only a keeper playing in the second tier of english football and not even the best there. I just get the feeling Leicester fans like to overhype big names and his is only big because of who his father was
He dug his own grave when he went on MUTV and said he wished 'United' thrashed us last October. Dirty Bavarian ****.
Is Schmeichel is so **** why do you spend so much time on here telling us We told you Peltier was pretty ****. We dont find the need to constantly remind you of that. We have our opinions which we put out and we will leave you to make your own mind up
The difference is though we don't continually link Peltier with clubs like Real Madrid, Tottenham and Milan. We don't also continually say that you guys think that you made a mistake selling us Peltier and that you wished you really kept him. I know we paid 750k for Peltier but he's now worth 15m because he has had a few good games. You really are jealous now that we have Peltier and you sold him aren't you, oh and by the way that idiot De Laet is really ****, can't believe you actually think he better than the wonderful Peltier
Apologies for the mistaken identity. I kind of wondered why the earlier poster was coming out with the same old boring stuff. But it's someone else repeating it in stead. . Firstly, what you thought of Kasper 18 month ago based on, as you said, half a season is irrelevant to us. I don't know why you keep acting like we care what you think. You were mistaken. Up to you if you don't want to admit it. Glad your happy though. He is one of my favourite Leicester players, yes. We have a few I really like at the moment. He's the best keeper we've had since at least Marton Fulop but probably since Ian Walker. Time will tell if he moves beyond that to compete against the likes of Keller, Pegguy and Flowers. I believe you were forced to sell him, which you've kind of touched on yourself, because he was a top earner. Again, if you're happy that your best players are being sold off and replaced by middling Championship players like Longeran, then good for you. I think Kenny is a good signing actually, just at the wrong end of his career. The fact that your club has acted to replace Longeran and ours hasn't to replace Kasper tells you all you need to know about that comparison. Whether Kasper is the best in the division is open to debate as I don't watch every club week in week out. Obviously no-one does. What I will tell you though is that, as he does the job required, I wouldn't run the risk of replacing him with anyone else in this division. There's simply no need. Over-hype big names? I would argue Beckford and Nugent are our best known players. Beckford is a waste of space and Nugent does a good job, but I'd hardly say they're over-hyped by us. Peter Schmeichel means nothing to us. His connection to Kasper is totally irrelevant.
Neither do we! It's the press. All Leicester-related articles are put up on this site. This thread is only 10 pages long because you and your mates have insisted on telling us how **** he is! How is Peltier doing anyway? Does it look like we made a mistake? He showed promise early on but faded fast. De Laet is doing OK but he hasn't entirely won be over yet. I think he is better than Peltier though.
What I am actually saying is that he was ****(ish) AT LEEDS. We keep saying it because you lot keep disputing it. His career at Leicester is of little bearing to this particular point.
He's played more game here, you moron. Nobody is disputing that he might not have been good at Leeds (how would we know). What you lot can't seem to understand is that he's been nothing short of superb in his 18 months at Leicester and has become a fantastic player that we're going o do well to keep hold of.
