I think Bamba already is a legend at our club, for £4million less than Mills.
Best signing thus far...

I think any player who scores his first goal for a club with his first touch during a televised match is undoubtedly going to be held dear in the hearts of many. I'm not saying he is a legend but that debut made it a hell of a lot easier for him to attain that status among the city faithful.

Definitely something that can only be decided in a couple of years IMO, the best player signed this year will be the one the not only performs this year but almost makes the step up, when we get there, effortlessly. Personally, I think it'll probably be mills! On current ability though I was thrilled we got konchesky- and pantsil. Both fantastic pplayers and konchesky can strike from distance too- or could a couple of years ago!

Marton Fulop was the last decent keeper we had.
Since then we have seen a string of youth players - Martin, Stockdale
Rubbish stand ins - Ikeme, Warner
and inconsistency - Weale
For me my guess would be Schmeichel. He made some fantastic saves from CL players on Saturday and was as vocal as I've ever seen a keeper (please no pashun jokes).
After one of our attacks broke down and Madrid capitilised on the counter Kasper gave the player responsible a right rolocking - which is exactly what we need.

He went charging out of his box at Dyer and Oakley (I think) because Dyer took the corner short to the edge of the box hoping Oakley could rifle one in and the pass was intercepted. I was mightily surprised but impressed to see it considering it was only a pre-season friendly. Very impressed with Kasper after that performance, few cracking saves & not afraid to give someone a bollocking, which like it has been said has been lacking to say the least in the past few seasons.

Thats the one!
It was funny because he was shouting at Dyer and he was still in the Madrid half.
Can anybody imagine if we did sign Shane Long - just how many goals he would get from Kaspers long kicks alone!

Does anyone know why Dirty Leeds were so keen to get rid of him? All reports on his ability/attitude have been very positive so far.

To be fair, they did concede over 70 goals last season with him as their main keeper. I personally think that has more to do with their shocking defence than with him though. A goalkeeper is only as good as the defenders in front of him.

No, Kingy, he flaps!
It doesn't matter that he doesn't lose any goals by doing so, he flaps!
It doesn't matter that he imposes himself on the opposition attack by doing so, he flaps!
We all know world class keepers don't flap!
We all know Gigi Buffon doesn't fla.... err.... scratch that.

BG, I think you're missing my point. I am big fan of Buffon's, I would LOVE him at Leicester!
I was taking the piss out of people who refer to keeper's who often go on about keeper's "flapping." I have no problem with keepers who do that so long as they don't concede a goal because of it, it's just a way of imposing yourself on the opposition's attackers a lot of the time.
