We need a Keeper, preferably not Lee is camp. Westwood and Given rumours have gone away? So Sven is looking at Schmeichel, he has worked with him twice so knows him well. I think it would be a good move. Cannot be worse than Ricardo, Only 24, and best yet to come?
On the BBC gossip page: 'Leicester will bid £1.25m for Leeds goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel. (Daily Mail)'
For about £2million you could get him, cause his contract only has a year left. He's a great shot stopper, but has made some mistakes, by no means the finished article. Westwood is on a free transfer, and is better, so I'm surprised that Sven isn't going for him.
I dont understand Westwood going Sunderland. Tgey have Craig Gordon and Simon Mignolet who both are decent keepers so he will be 3rd choice
It's not a rumour. http://www.leedsunited.com/news/20110620/offer-accepted-for-schmeichel_2247585_2379185
The £1m bit is bullshit by the way, no-one's officially mentioned any figures, just says an offer's been accepted.
Don't expect anything amazing from him unless you have good competition for the number 1 shirt. We didn't and it showed as the season wore on.
I think he'll shine under Sven's mentorship and a new goalkeeping coach to be honest. He can get pick up his big wages, have his big ego and he'll still do well for you. I guess there's a very different vibe at Leicester than Leeds.
