Do you think Kasper might hand in a transfer request? And before you jump down my throat I don't mean so he can join us - more so that he forces Leicester's hand as well as notifying all premier league clubs of his availability

Possible but i find it unlikely. Especially in the middle of June

Truth is TIS none of us has any idea - his father's comments suggest to me that he (and /or his agent) have probably tested the water with our management about a move but may have been told categorically 'no' unless the bid is £4 million (or whatever) irrespective of whether you put in a formal transfer request - if he does of course that at least makes it 'public' ... but wouldn't necessarily change anything if the club decides to stick to its' guns.

Yes That's probably a fair assumption of the situation - I just think that if he wants to move (and this could be any quality player not just KS) - with only a year left on his contract, a club may as well sell and cash in rather than hold him at the club if he's said he wants to leave.

I'd agree with that - but it comes down to the 'cashing in' (I accept he has critics amongst Leeds fans) but we would need north of £3 million to replace him ... promotion is still the goal after all ...
 
According to our local rag today, we bid £1.25m and £1.75m, both of which were rejected, but following the the last bid Leicester suggested that if we included Hobbs in a deal, then it would be considered. It seems we don't want to, but it's indicated to us that Schmeichel can leave if the deal is right, so we're bidding again.

3M and Jack Hobbs might do it. Any less and I think you would get the same answer as before
 
I think £2m + Hobbs, or simply an improved cash offer, as we still have the issue of Brum wanting Hobbs as a make-weight in a deal for Davies.
I'd rather have Hobbs ...

£2m - £2.5m and Hobbs would be a fair price imo, would meet our asking price and would clear some wages off the Hull bill.

And how much did we sell Hobbs to you for?

Davies is a far better player currently ...

Nigel needs to ask himself this - would you go out and buy Jack Hobbs individually - if no - why would you take him as a make-weight?
