I can scarcely think of a goal attributable to Kenny this season, unlike Kasper the season we had him.
If you're judging a keeper on goals conceded alone, then Brighton and Hove Albion have the best keeper in this league, by quite some distance. Some dipshit will probably think Madrid are in for him soon.
I've seen Kenny make a mIstake this season that led to a goal. Can't remember who it was against or when so it sort of makes this whole point redundant. Oh well!
Proud's point was that if your defence is playing well and you're still conceding then you have to put the blame with the keeper. If your defence is playing **** and your keeper is playing well and still conceding then you have to put the blame with the defence. Not rocket science and all
I can read, I'm well aware of what he was saying. My point was that it was too narrow and glib a judgement to make. None of us have seen enough keeper performances for other teams to realistically judge them against each other. Over the course of a season, you might just about see enough highlights to make a judgement call, but only just. We have a keeper who just got a new three year deal at Man United, yet he isn't as good as the keeper we had last season, that makes him far easier to judge(it's much easier and more accurate to judge a keeper against your previous keepers, than it is against someone else's who you rarely see).
Its a good job OLM isnt a scout. He would want forever to watch the player before making a decision A Neutral opinion is best because people will always be biased I havent seen a better keeper then Kasper at this level and I think the majority of the media would agree Some people are always going to accuse Kasper of living off his dads name but he is now since he moved here making his own way in the game
I think you're rather missing the point I'm making. By watching a player, I can make a decision on how good I think he is, but I can't really judge him with any conviction against other players that I haven't watched play week in week out. I've deliberately avoided making any comment on this thread about Kasper's ability, as I don't feel qualified to comment. I go to almost every City game, so I feel able to comment on the ability of our players, but I try to avoid direct comparrisons with other teams players, as I really don't know enough about them, unless they used to play for us. I think Kenny's a ****, but that's because I'm a Hull fan and he was a complete twat at a game in Sheffield, I have no opinion on Kasper, other than he single handedly rescued Leeds in a game we should have won, but I can't judge either on a single performance, everyone has good games and bad ones. In short, I have no idea who is the better keeper, but I'm ****ing certain it won't be decided on this thread.
This is why I have said I wouldn't go out and say he's the best in the division, but I wouldn't swap him for any other keeper in this league either, because the guy has been great. He's even got a few assistants for **** sake! For all I know Peterborough have the best keeper in the league, maybe it's just the rest of the team that's ****. It really doesn't matter. I frankly don't care if he's the best, he's good enough to be part of a promotion winning side - hopefully our promotion winning side - and that's all that matters. The next step will be to see how how he fairs in the Prem, in which he has already played when very young and did quite well actually.
Well the keeper you had last season is currently playing in Arsenal's first team (albeit through injury and Arsenal's lack of goalkeeping quality)
In fairness, we're only ten games into the season. I've seen the majority of Championship keepers more than ten times on TV. You have to factor things like form in too. You're keeper may well improve as the season goes on. It's all these things that make it difficult to say definitely who is the best. All that really matters is that the players match your ambition by performing on the pitch. Beckford may be the most talented player in this league, but I question his ambition. And his attitude. And, well I could go on.
Well then you missed my point, I said A) we would have conceded more goals and B) that value of 2m is only based on his performances for Leicester as he wouldn't be valued that highly if he had stayed at Leeds (because of poor form or him being better at Leicester or whatever reason) Maybe he was mismanaged, I am of the opinion that Graysonw as poor at managing players, to me though it doesn't matter because he couldn't perform as well for us as he obviously has done for you. Who knows, coulda been because of the big club crowd and also Leeds fans can tend to be fickle and get on there own players' back Well do Bolton have better prospects? They are currently sitting 18th and managerless and not only that Lonergan is currently occupying a bench spot for them as far as I'm aware. So I do genuinely believe this "excuse" of his And Schmeichel for the very last time, didn't leave to on his own accord to go to a club with better prospects. He left because he was surplus to requirements and I'm leaving aside the fact you wrote Leicester have better prospects, maybe because you have started better or maybe because I can't be bothered to turn this conversation that way I didn't read the article because I know how he performed for Leeds. In relevance to other keepers we had before him, he was the best From a person who knows little about football, they would say he did a good job for leeds because of the amazing saves he made and he did make some very good saves. It was always about every other part of his game that was the issue at Leeds and I'm not gonna lie he did show at times good potential to go and be a great keeper but we couldn't wait for that to happen. I would argue against that
Bit rich coming from you isn't it? You were the one who was slagging off Leeds' fans for trying to judge Kasper, despite not seeing him enough to do so!
