    Nothing other than what I put in the Schmeichel replacement thread... hence the "apparently".

    Okay, a bid has been accepted. It doesn't say how much it is, so why are people complaining about only a £1million?

    This will be a good bit of business for the club if:
    - we have a good enough replacement lined up - Westwood is rumoured, he hasn't gone to Sunderland and is better than Kasper
    - We make in excess of a million for a player whose contract is up at the end of the season, and we signed for free anyway
    - Kasper wasn't willing to resign unless on ridiculous wages

    From the statement by the club, it sounds as though Kasper and his agent wanted a lot of money, and he's already on a reported £20,000 a week - he was on massive wages at Notts anyway. He's a good keeper, but is overated. There are better players we can get, and if we get someone in that's better than we can be happy. Don't start complaining until we know who the replacement is.

    Best fan.

    Don't believe he's on £20k at leeds, and he was on big wages for notts county, not massive wages

    The club is making money from him. Unfortunately I don’t think will get put back in for a decent replacement.

    TBF, Kasper has just been jumping from club to club for a while so why are people so surprised?

    £16k's what I heard, can't remember who it was but the Square Ball team spoke to one of our players and they said as much.

    im actually happy hes going yes he has days when he is a class keeper but his ego is far too big for our squad. I spoke to thom Kirwin and he said that walking round the pitch after the burnley game his son had a scum shirt on underneath the leeds shirt and thom said his ego is far too big and he doesnt get on really with anybody in the squad. aslong as we replace him with somebody decent ill remain happy.

    According to Wiki, he was on £1million a year at Notts County. I don't know how reliable that is, but the reason he left on a free tranfer was because they couldn't afford his wages anymore. That's massive wages for League 2.

    Brilliant news, opens the way for Westwood who is a far better all round keeper.

    He was a sulky fat little bastard anyway.

    You wont get Westwood - he is premier league bound im afraid. We had approached him to make a simple move up the Motorway to Leicester for far bigger wages as a our number one as part of our promotion push - but he expects premiership football...and to be honest no one can blame the lad (although i do think he'd be better getting regular football!)

    Football fans are so fickle. This time last week he was the best keeper in the Championship and could play for some Premier League teams. Now, he's fat, sulky, arrogant, not that good and greedy.

    You couldn't make it up.

    Which one of you has already been on Westwood's wiki page?

    On the 20th of June he joined Leeds United on a free transfer replacing Kasper Schmeichel or 'Fat Flapper' as he was known to the Leeds faithful due to his love of Yorkshire pies. "Ooooooh me minge".

    Go on then, show me some quotes from people whose viewpoints have changed before you make such idiotic sweeping assertions.

    Carra, he is definitely fat. That`s just a physical trait not us being fickle.

    Hull fans on their board all saying the same thing as Carra Rud.

    "OMG look at Leeds fans pretending all their players are ****, typical TWS!" or words to that effect.

    Not really, we're just happy to shift the dead wood. Just because you don't rate a player once he's left doesn't mean you rated him while he was at Leeds.

    I can guarantee 100% and you know it, if I came on here last week and said what's everyone's opinion of Kasper, 99% of the comments would have been complimentary.

    It wasn't a dig at Leeds fans, we all do it.

    However, I didn't think you were a selling club!;)

    We've had numerous discussions about Schmeichel on here, I don't believe any of our viewpoints has changed significantly. Some are sad to see him go, some are happy, some are indifferent. Same as they were before we knew Leicester had a bid accepted.

    Just looked though that thread, and ONE person says that he's the best keeper in the Championship.
