    Like I said, we'll wait and see rather than a pre season of pointless bickering but I'm just giving my opinion.

    I struggle to say Kenny is a better keeper than Lonners (mainly because I don't think its true) I still can't understand what the point of bringing Kenny in for 500k and selling Lonners 350k. We have got an older, worse goalkeeper for more money YES!!

    You have got a worse keeper 2 years in a row.

    Selling Kasper for peanuts was a stupid thing to do and then you go and get a worse keeper and according to you now and even worse one.

    For the record i rate Kenny higher then Lonergan but i dont think he is as good as Kasper

    Over £1m for a keeper at this level isnt exactly peanuts, keepers dont ever get as expensive as outfield players.

    It was for us

    Buying Kasper for 1M for a steal

    If we wanted to sell him now we could easily get 5M for him

    I think its time Nigel thought about getting him down on a longer deal

    Kenny was awesome for QPR the season they got promoted though! Didn't he get concussed at our place and we still couldn't beat him?

    How the **** would you know? Watch 30+ Leeds games a season, do you?

    And Josh hates anything associated with Warnock, so I'd take his Kenny dismissal with a major pinch of salt, some lemon and a slammer of tequila.

    Kasper is better then Lonergan. I dont care what you say

    Your mate said Lonergan is better then Kenny not me

    If Lonergan is better then Kenny like he said then you have got 2 worse keepers 2 years in a row

    As i said though i think Kenny is a decent keeper in this league

    I disagree, I think Kenny is a better keeper, but Lonergan does have the age advantage. I would therefore say they are worth about the same fee-wise.

    You're offering no evidence.

    He offered no evidence.

    It's highly doubtful Lonergan's better than Kenny. I saw Lonergan with my own two eyes dozens of time last season just like I saw Schmeichel the season before. And Lonergan was 20% better at least.

    I don't care how Kasper did for you, I'm on about how keepers can hack it at Leeds. You can't say someone's a better keeper just because they do well for a smaller club after departing.

    <ok>

    Warnock is extremely complimentary about Kenny .. heralding him as 'the best there is' or very close in one article I read. As a manager you need to have people you believe in right through the team and if Warnock feels he has the right man fair play to him ...

    I agree that Kasper is better than both. And not just because we have him. He was pretty awesome for us last season and was good every time I saw him play for anyone else before that.

    And we may be a "smaller club" historically, but we have more ambition than you and that's why we took Kasper from you.

    How the **** did you manage to get that from what I said?

    How the **** did you manage to turn this into something about Kasper

    For the record I don't believe we have gotten 2 worse goalkeepers 2 years in a row. I think Lonners is better than Kasper and as Jerel says, I don't care how he has done for you (Although I have seen many mistakes he has made on the highlights show which resulted in you conceded, that doesn't show his saves admittedly but they are still mistakes) I only care about how he performed for Leeds United and Lonners did better than Kasper did for leeds.

    I have raised doubt about Kenny but I am hopeful it will work, at this point in time I believe Lonners is better than him but thats not to say that I won't give him a chance and be open to the chance for him to prove me wrong

    Well everyone has an opinion and that's what forums are for, but you are wrong, which I'm sure you're aware of.

    Your assure I'm are aware of..... <doh>

    My point from that is that you guys think we are obsessed with bringing up the old Lonners/Kasper debate when in reality you are the one that continually tries to convince us of something you are woefully unprepared to even understand why we feel the way we do because you have not seen both of them in a leeds shirt and thats what we are going on

    Nice, you made a grammatical error whilst pointing out my grammatical error! <doh>

    Kasper won player of the season last year, which shows, whatever issues he had at Leeds, he has done well at Leicester. We wouldn't trade him for Longeran or Kenny and that is for sure. You can think what you want, but I feel pretty confident in saying that Leicester will never go for either of those keepers whilst Kasper is at the club because he is simply the better player.

    <doh> no I didn't, I repeated what you said but I only changed it so that it appeared from my point of view. I wasn't correcting you I was just pointing out that that was the most ******ed sentence I have ever seen...


    Thats great for you guys, it truly is but we at Leeds United would like a goalkeeper who can actually deal with the pressure of playing in front of a bigger crowd on a regular basis, not only this we would like a goalkeeper who doesn't completely lose his confidence after having a bad game. We would also like a goalkeeper who can collect crosses, command his defence and have a decent distribution. If kasper is good for you though thats great <ok>

    Are you leeds fans or football fans?

    Any football fan can see that Kasper is the best in the division.
