Kasper Schmeichel

Anyone know the reason why Schmeichel was taken back off us by Man City in 2008? I seem to remember he was loaned out again after that which was strange.

I remember watching him for City thinking he was a great keeper. Would he have made a difference that season do you think?

We made do with Enckelman, Oakes, Turnbull & Forde for the rest of the season - including the FA Cup Final.

It was to do with their 2nd choice keeper at the time requesting a transfer
I agree he was fantastic for us and if I remember rightly one of his best games was Leicester city away

He was great for us during his time Strangely enough i believe he has been on the losing side against us on many occasions

I couldn't remember what season it was, what a nightmare Enkleman was shit and cost us the FA Cup, if he had stayed things could have been so different!!!

Fantastic keeper for us, and Leicester and seems a great bloke too :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

His Dad was probably the best ever Premier League keeper, won so much for ManU.
