Administrator Stan Posted August 1, 2022 Author Administrator Posted August 1, 2022 £1m + bonuses fee agreed with Nice. End of an era. Leaves a legend. His personality/character amongst the club will be missed just as much as his on-field quality. Big shoes to fill whoever is the replacement, be it Iversen/Ward or someone new!
True Blue Posted August 1, 2022 Posted August 1, 2022 Excellent keeper, he was a great player for Leicester for years. His famous dad can be well proud of his son. He didn't ride his name but made a name for himself. One million pounds is peanuts a Nice get a quality keeper, only a bit of odd pick for next club.

Gets to live in/near Monaco no doubt. Not a bad place to set up for the final years of your career
Subscriber Dan+ Posted August 1, 2022 Subscriber Posted August 1, 2022 Miserable but what a career. One of the most iconic players we will ever have.
Redcanuck Posted August 2, 2022 Posted August 2, 2022 Leciester don't seem to be in the market for a new keeper. Who starts in goal now Ward or Iverson?

I think that's what they're going to try and determine over the period pre-World Cup. They're in a bit of a battle with each other. Iversen will start against Brentford. To be honest I think Iversen's ceiling is higher than Ward's. Ward isn't really good enough. He's fine as a backup but not a starter. Iversen did well in the Championship and may step up. I have doubts but if one of the two made it for us I'd probably guess Iversen. I'd imagine goalkeeper will be a priority next summer. The real shitter about this move is that we're suffering the hit of losing a key player without really seeing much benefit. We won't even get a fee of note. So we're probably still going to end up selling somebody else key. This summer really has been depressing. Genuinely think it's the most miserable I can remember since the mid 00s when we were genuinely in the dumps as a club. We're obviously not like that now but there really hasn't been a single good thing to happen right the way through it. Schmeichel will be the first departure when we've got a good 8 players who need shifting, with him not being one of them. Miserable.

I want to use one of them as my back up keeper in fantasy football.

OrangeKhrush Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 lots of rumours about debravka, dont see it happening

Albeit you have to put up with our defending Iversen is who I think will play. I'm favouring Iversen of the two. He did well at Preston and probably deserves a step up - but it is a gamble putting him in for Schmeichel. The problem is whoever misses out is going to probably want out themselves. I'd not actually be against selling Ward and promoting Stolarczyk. If Iversen is deemed not up to it then get a replacement in.

Clean sheets are what you want obviously but that is a quite cheap option for a goalkeeper. Anybody who is worth £4mil that is going to start is often worth having about unless they're horrific. I want to think we'll concede less this season given we should, touch wood, have our stronger defenders back.
Administrator Stan Posted August 3, 2022 Author Administrator Posted August 3, 2022 He's officially signed for Nice. Gonna take a while to adjust to not seeing him play for us, and play for a different club. Wish him all the best though.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted August 3, 2022 Subscriber Posted August 3, 2022 Horrible. I'm really fucked off. When people say 'emotional exit' that's what it should be, but four days before a new season after eleven years here? It's bollocks. One of the key faces of a story like ours and it's done just like a fringe player has gone out on loan. Schmeichel going is something that was obviously coming but I really thought this would've been handled better. Southampton should've been a proper send off. This wasn't a fresh deal made on a whim - it's been in the pipeline months. Truly one of the most iconic players we'll have. A legend.
