Going to Leicester for £10m. So wonder where Kasper is going? Surely Danny is not going there to sit on the bench. Kasper Schmeichel has been linked with Chelsea, with Courtois going to Real Madrid. Ward likely to be number 2 as Butland has been linked with Leicester too.

Will always be a htafc legend for his penalty heroics but no way is he worth anywhere near what Leicester have paid for him. Lössl is a far better keeper.

I agree but wouldn't describe Lössl as "far better".
Have to say the stats from Danny's season at Town aren't very flattering.

Ward had a decent season and excellent play offs
I can't recall many errors (last game of season one!!) but nor many fingertip match winning saves that I can with Lossl (Newc home early doors springs to mind)
Would I say Lossl is far better? Yes - but he's also 4 years older

12 million for Ward shows what is wrong with the transfer climate in football these days. Leicester have had there pants down. Makes you wonder whether they are going to sell schmeichael as that is alot of money for someone thats going to sit on the bench with no premiership experience and isnt even Wales first choice.
I really hope im proved to be wrong and he develops into a class player for them though as the penalty saves wont be forgotten.

Nailed on Schmeichel is off...probably to Chelsea.
Ward is a tool if he's off to be another back up keeper...despite his signing on fee.
Leicester are tools for giving us a decent back up keeper and spending £12.5m on another one.
It doesn't add up...
He's been promised game time surely...

One player who should rightfully get a great reception here when Leicester come. I'm not sure really how good ward is right now but he was immense in the last 2 to 3 mths of our promotion season, is a really decent lad and he helped transform our club beyond recognition. Good luck to him.

Good luck to him. 2 to 3 games, not months. And if he plays for Leicester against us we should shoot on sight, everyone else did and most went in

Surely Kasper is on his way. Jakupovic was back-up last season. Hamer was third choice. I like Danny and wish him all the best, but 12m is silly money. How much did Cardiff pay for Smithies? Around £4mil for smithies is what I saw as reported fee

12.5 million ! They’re going to think they’ve finally found a replacement for Peter Shelton

Danny did very little wrong at town and then obviously pulled off a couple of great penalty saves in the play offs.
But he rarely makes those match / point winning saves
Lossl threw a few howlers about but under much greater pressure and also made a lot of tremendous saves
I’d take lossle every day of the week and I suspect Leicester have had their pants pulled down

People remember him for the 2 amazing shoot out performances. I don't remember him performing particularly brilliantly other than the penalty shoot outs.
In fact, I'm pretty sure I recall quite a few people commenting on him not being better than Smithies.
Lossl > Ward 100%.
