So you're writing him off purely because Schmeichel did? Schmeichel comes across as a cock himself sometimes, legend or not. He didn't exactly do Lindegaard or the club any favours with those comments.
I meant Lindegaard. We wouldn't have signed him unless he has some quality (cue previous bad signing jokes), I personally have not seen enough of him to judge. Will be interesting to see how he does next season in games De Gea is rested in. Oh and I wouldn't take everything Schmeichel says as certain. He did sign for Man City after all.
I'm not writing him off. I see his purpose as our number 2 keeper. I just think it's bizarre for people to think that he's going to compete for the number 1 spot. Only chance of that is if De Gea gets injured or will be horrible and he gets it by default.
To me calling him the Bendtner of the goalkeeping world is slating him, but if you were commenting on his attitude rather than his ability then you probably have seen/read more interviews that I have so fair enough.
Simply look at the facts.
Youre a twat
I can't say you said anything that I haven't already said. You just used a different tone.
None of us have any idea how well he did in training, so it's pointless to discuss that. Fact is that OB had a keeper (Arek Onyszko) they were very happy with until he got charged with assault. When he was convicted he was sacked and, as I said, people expected Lindegaard to takeover from there. OB managed to get Carroll instead, and although he wasn't a big name in England anymore he was still a big signing for a Danish club like OB, so it was obvious that Lindegaard was never going to get the chance. Lindegaard proved at Aalesund that he was a good keeper, so I think it's reasonable to suggest he would've done well at OB if given the chance, but he wasn't going to when they signed Carroll. I honestly don't see where he should've taken his chance at OB. Arek Onyszko did very well for them so there was no reason to change that, and OB was never going to not sign Carroll at the time given the chance.
I agree, Lindegaard's presence reminds me of Edwin. I can take comfort from the fact that we have 3 quality Goalkeepers (De Gea, Lindegaard & Amos) who hopefully will compete with each other for United's number 1 jersey for many years.
Aye De Gea will start the season as #1 no doubt. I don't think he's guaranteed to keep the spot though.
how does he come off as a cock? wise up
Yep. We shouldn't be so quick to make a definitive decision. Lindegaard has taken his chances well and I wouldn't be surprised to see him start the season in goal. He's ahead in his preseason preparation anyway.
Egotistic. That's very cockish for most people. That was back in January.
I never suggested he should be slated. I said it's not fair to slate Kuzczsak and heap praises on Lindegaard when so far Kuzczsak look better to start with and hasn't look worse. That's what doesn't make sense.
People get the notion that you're rubbishing a player and slating him when you're not praising him. I haven't said anything about Lindegaard that wasn't based on him. Everything suggests that he was brought in to replace Foster and nothing has showed any further.
It wasn't Lindegaard's fault through. He was terribly unlucky got injured just before a game against Sampdoria. As OB hadn't got any decent back-up, and just loves to sign over the hill players from big leagues, they rushed out and signed Carroll for free.
No, they don't.
The reasons why he left OB have been addressed in this thread and in earlier threads you've been in, so there's no need to keep repeating this version of the events.
I haven't seen much difference in class between De Gea and Lindegaard on this tour. Both have done very well. If one of them didn't have a big price tag and big league experience I think Fergie would have a selection dilemma on his hands the upcoming matches. De Gea is obviously no 1 atm but I think Lindegaard will really challenge him. The big difference between them for me is that De Gea is a bit more composed and comfy with the ball and Lindegaard more vocal and secure in the air. I understand why PIG wants to leave, they are both a class above him and both can still get better.
Fair assessememt. It only matters when they are under real pressure, as we saw in the past. And for some reason i have the feeling de gea will always stay cool and composed. But having two great keepers pushing each other can only be good for us
That is the natural suggestion down to the fact that we spent so much money on DDG. However every time I have seen Lindegaard play I have been impressed with him. He doesn't seem to have the same sort of nervous aura that Kuszczak does. I want to see him get a chance too, because he has lots of ability.
Well, you're not the part of the league. He's playing there because he was bought. I'm sure you who watch football don't because you have eyes like me.
Ferguson said he'll fine me if I play well against Scotland tomorrow night.
