what you have to remember with schmeichel is he was youth keeper or just breaking into the team at the same time as Hart .. same age.. well thats how I remember them lol i remember thinking Hart was a lot better ( at the time) and kasper was only getting a game because of who his dad was

This is spot on, first time I saw Hart and Schmeichel in the same squad was in a pre season game at Lincoln. Schmiechel looked small, very small. He got into the City set up because his old man played a season for us. Keeping them both out was the legend David Seaman. I remember he let a 40 yard shot in that Stevie wonder could of stopped. Think we we drew 2-2.
my point re Schmiechel is I do not think he is a top four keeper. When I look at City, Utd, Spurs, Liverpool of they get Allison, Chelsea ( at the mo) he would not get mentioned in there breath.

LT, I dropped in the comment re KS getting a Prem winners medal before anyone else chucked it in 😉

Tash, didn't mean to be spikey. I just chuckled at the thought of a medal being a barometer of talent. Think over the years of squad players who have walked away with medals 😱😱.

I'd put Schmeicel in the 5-8 category. Not a top 4 keeper but good enough to be in the next level of teams.

Well, should be perfect for Chelsea then. :thup:

From a couple of articles I just googled, here are supposedly some of the worst players to have won the Premier League:
Igor Stepanovs, Pascal Cygan, Kieran Richardson, Darron Gibson, Tom Cleverley, Richie De Laet, David May, Jesper Blomqvist, Jeremie Aliadiere. :D

David May was a perfectly fine player for United - he helped the squad out immensely. Loads of time for that man.

Liverpool and Leicester have agreed a £10m fee for Danny Ward. He's gone from Liverpool's Number 1 to Leicesters Number 2 in a matter of days. I thought Klopp preferred to give youngsters a chance?

£10m is a lot for a back up keeper. Perhaps Kasper is on his way and they are getting his replacement in early.

:rofl:
Klopp doesn't half talk a load of old cobblers. He's almost reached Mourinho levels of habitual lying now.

Apparently Schmeichel is staying at Leicester. They value him at £50m and no-one is willing to meet that valuation. All the reports I've read so far are that Ward will be Kaspers back-up at Leicester. We shall see how it plays out.
