A massive thumbs up if this is true and comes off. It would but I suspect we might face competition. The prior connection with Neil is hopefully a good thing though.

Seems strange that he has got to the ripe old age of 25 without having made even 1 appearance for Leicester City despite having been there for 5 years.
Conversely as soon as I see the words 'Danish' and 'Goalkeeper' in the same sentence I am thinking he will be a cross between Thomas Sorensen and Peter Schmeichel !!

They signed Alex Smithies when Schmeichel left leaving Ward and this fella to battle out for first choice keeper but he's not had a look in so far.
The window has closed so not sure how this is relevant now unless Neil has brought a time machine with him.

If he was as good as Kasper he'd do for me.

Was shocked to see Ward starting ahead of him. Praying it’s still the case come Jan cos he’s about the best we could hope for IMHO.

That's the Kasper Schmichael effect. Swear I've heard he's a reputation of wanting to play basically every game. A bit like his aul lad.

Sounds a good signing and I'd rather wait till Jan for the right man on a long contract. Than a stop gap on a 2 year contract.
Long term vision here.
Fair play Alex. Keep it up

Completely ridiculous line in that article:
“Meanwhile, Dean Holden found out the hard way that football can be a hard business as he was sacked by old coaching school buddy Alex Neil”

Somebody at Preston knows their onions when it comes to goalkeepers. Freddie Woodman who they got from Newcastle is also a very decent keeper surprised they got him. Not sure how much money was involved.

Something has to give because the charlatans we are currently lumbered with are nothing short of pathetic to a man.

The fee would probably be a problem, wouldn't it?
Good age, 3 years left under contract, being used in their 18 every week with veteran free agent Alex Smithies the only other keeper they've got apart from their No.1, Ward
And a good reputation in our league with teams like Boro and Sunderland in for him over the summer
You'd be looking at £1m absolute minimum, you'd think.
Are we in a position to pay that in January? Guess we'll soon see if there's anything in Nixon's report.
If not, that's what led us down this desperate Zander Clark/Ben Foster line of thinking in the short-term, with loans not an option this season

My interpretation of something Alex Neil said a number of times that “we’ve got to get to the finances within the regs by the end of the season” to mean we’re currently over so will need to trim costs in the January window or before. How much who knows, would Etebo heading out solve it or do we need to move more? We may be looking at moving players out with only 6 months left on their contract like last January but you’d think a fee might take a sale.

Alternatively they could just sponsor absolutely everything down to the bog rolls. Tell Mr FFP to fuck off and see what he does about it.
