Kasper Schmeichel

[starman]

I would rather take risk on Pickford then sign Kasper..

Interested to see how Butland does coming back from his injury

 

[Cloud7]

No thanks. If his last name was something different then this wouldn't even be a discussion.

 

[beingshe7don]

The Downside of going for Griezmann is that it would be near impossible to grab Oblak too. I like Schmeichel but is he fit to wear his fathers gloves?

We don't need to go for Oblak. We can consider Leno or throw a lot of money for Donnarumma and throw in one of our youngsters on loan. Milan seem to like that sort of business these days. Donnarumma for Joel Pereira + Cash

 

[C'est Moi Cantona]

No thanks. If his last name was something different then this wouldn't even be a discussion.

Of course it would, he's a good keeper, some people would have you think he'd be Massimo Taibi MKII, he wouldn't, and whilst he'll never be DDG, he would do a good job for us imo, and other than a few that are most likely unattainable he would be my choice.

 

[C'est Moi Cantona]

I'd still be quite happy with a de gea/navas swap

Why would we do that? Give Madrid a player they are desperate for, whilst ridding them of a player they'll need to shift, and one who could be a nightmare of player for us imo, Madrid for me can have DDG if he wants to go, but it has to be on our terms, something like £20 m + Morata, purely becasue they will not really want to lose him, and we need a top striker, or £60 million + cash.

They can shove the players they want to shift, namely James, Navas, Varane, Danilo, etc, where the sun don't shine for me.

 

[Morpheus 7]

It would be a huge downgrade on big Dave, Kasper is 30 too. I think we should go for a young keeper like Donnarumma, seems the right balance with Romero. I think it could be a better transition. Kasper was a rat during the Ranieri fiasco, feck Kasper the friendly ghost get someone else.

 

[bond19821982]

He is a decent option but agree we can do better. Who is available and better ? I bet how many people has actually seen oblak except for the odd CL and Madrid Derbies ?

 

[Castia]

I'd give Romero a shot. He's not let us down yet, in fact he's been brilliant most of the time.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

He's a big personality, one of the leaders of the Leicester side. If we were to invest in a world class CB then this wouldn't be a bad move.

 

[jymufc20]

I would take him as a back up to romero and that is pushing it.

 

[VanHaal'sRedArmy]

I think we go for Rui Patricio before Schmeichel; let City have him if they want.

 

[manutddjw]

Just No. You get what you buy. You buy a mid table player, don't be angry when he plays like a mid table player. Tim Howard was a solid Premier League keeper yet people couldn't wait to see the back of him. Fabianski and Szczesny are decent keepers yet they were continuously seen as a major weak spot in the Arsenal side.

 

[Ali Dia]

Very hard to know. He could be a very solid signing.

Usually I'd say trust our scouts but we've made some pretty average signings over the last few years amid much fanfare.

The one upside is all of Joses signings have improved us so far. I think this one might just be paper talk though.

Leno looks interesting.
Pickford?
Donnarumma

 

[Acole9]

Oh please god no, I hope this is bollocks.

 

[Freak]

I think he would be a good signing should De Gea leave.

 

[Sterling Archer]

Very hard to know. He could be a very solid signing.

The one upside is all of Joses signings have improved us so far. I think this one might just be paper talk though.

Agree on all fronts. Won't make any major judgement aside from saying he doesn't look a bad keeper and he did just win the league...deserves more credit than is being given here. One of our last keepers signed from another PL team without much fanfare turned out pretty decent...the Dutch one of course. Not the English one.

In the end I trust the manager on this kind of thing.

 

[ravi2]

Sure if Leno, Donnarumma or Oblack arent available.

 

[UnrelatedPsuedo]

He'd surely be coming as a backup? He's not a top tier keeper and Romero is better than he is.

 

[manutd7]

I like Schmeichel. Think he's a real professional and a decent keeper. Think he would be a massive step down from De Gea, but what available GK really wouldn't. I say if DDG leaves this summer and we can't acquire another top keeper I say we stick with Romero. He's no DDG but I feel he would still be a top GK in the Premier League

Keepers I would prefer to Romero: Oblak, Handanovic, ter Stegen, Donnarumma

 

[K2K]

What is this based on? It's a link. There's nothing to suggest we are going after him

'Sky sources'

 

[Z_Wolf]

People are underrating him because of his name funnily enough. He's been consistently one of the best keepers in the league for the past 2 seasons and has just almost singlehandidly carried Leicester to the CL quarter final. Would make sense to enquire if De Gea is off to Madrid.

 

[K2K]

His shot stopping skills are excellent, but his main trait is his attitude. And with the statements Mourinho have made lately about wanting the players to bleed for the cause, he'd be a perfect candidate for a goalkeeper. He's loud, passionate, determined and has a huge character within the dressing room.

Joe Lionheart Hart fits that description perfectly too.

 

[ThomasEmil]

Joe Lionheart Hart fits that description perfectly too.

True, but Hart is Blue and has moments of brain damage. Schmeichel seems more stable on that parameter.

 

[sdb4884]

Solid keeper but not for us. We need to raid Ath Mad again.

 

[Litch]

Solid keeper but not for us. We need to raid Ath Mad again.

Not letting us have him and the little Frenchman too....

 

[johnamiri]

If Man Utd lose Degea there isn't really more than 1 or 2 keepers in the rest of the world who could adequately take his place. He must be worth about 15 points a season to you. Schmeichel is decent but he's nowhere near De Gea. Man Utd should just refuse to sell him to RM. That would put the cat among the pigeons

 

[2 man midfield]

Why would we do that?

I'd happily take Varane in any deal for De Gea

 

[Robbie Boy]

I'd happily take Varane in any deal for De Gea

He's strangely underrated by some on here. He's a very good defender and if he was given a run as a first choice player, he would no doubt excel.

 

[AndyJ1985]

I'd happily take Varane in any deal for De Gea

I think his injury record puts some people off.

 

[Robbie Boy]

I think his injury record puts some people off.

Not sure how bad his injury record is but he seems to have played plenty of games for Madrid and has often been benched.

There seems to be a theme emerging on here with some that we shouldn't sign big bad big name foreign players and instead go for the likes of Michael Keane, Sigurdsson, Kasper etc. And if you don't agree then apparently you're ignorant towards these players or something like that.

 

[2 man midfield]

Excellent player. Varane, Morata and 50 million should do it!

I think his injury record puts some people off.

Yeah could be to be fair, although I'm not as clued in about that as some might be.

 

[Big Andy]

Since Mourinho arrived we've not relied on De Gea as much as we did in previous years, I think Schmeichel would be a great player for us...

 

[togg]

Don't think it would be a good move. He's not his Dad....and unfortunately every performance there would be comparisons...especially if he fecked up. Just not healthy for him to be honest...!

 

[Mainoldo]

Since Mourinho arrived we've not relied on De Gea as much as we did in previous years, I think Schmeichel would be a great player for us...

We are also 5th. It might be more crucial when we require winning a title or champions league. Young Schmich ain't that level.

 

[Kush]

I can't believe how many on this board think he is good enough just because his name is Schmeichel, it's as if they have forgotten the mess we got ourselves into trying to replace his Dad and that was at a time when we actually had world class defence and midfield in front of a goalkeeper.

We already need fixing in so many areas, replacing the best keeper in the league with mid-table fodder like Schmeichel would put us even further back and we are already fifth best team in the country. I doubt we can get a keeper as good as De Gea but there are goalkeepers who can reach that level and would be attainable if we invest the amount received for De Gea.

 

[MV12]

Kasper who?

 

[Donut]

Haha, don't be ridiculous.

That's not true at all, more a case of people looking down their nose at players like Keane & Kasper because they don't satisfy the their big name expectations.

Of course we all want Griezmann & similar, but there would be nothing wrong with mixing in a few so called lesser names too, they could fit us just as well, if not better longer term, after all many of our most exciting signings post Fergie have let us down, so maybe we need a slightly different approach.

Well if we ignore the fact Schmeicel currently playing for the champions (who did better in the CL than any other English club) what did you think when we signed Van Der Saar? Last PL club he had played for was the definition of "mid table fodder".

 

[Robbie Boy]

That's not true at all, more a case of people looking down their nose at players like Keane & Kasper because they don't satisfy the their big name expectations.

This is just blatantly untrue. Plenty want Van Dijk and he's a Southampton player. The fact is, we have been linked (apparently linked) with some extremely underwhelming players and people rightly point out that they aren't good enough.

I just find the attitude that if you don't rate a player from a lesser club that you are ignorant etc, as extremely pretentious. I would love Moussa Dembele and he plays for Celtic ffs.
