Only if they have an injury crisis of biblical proportions, would take Hermansen, Stolarczyk & Ward to all be injured! You know you are tempting fate there... Ah it’s been mentioned already. Apologies

We don't particularly require the keeper to be great with his feet anyway, what we do need is a keeper that keeps goals out and Iversen is very well equipped to do that.

God help us if he ever makes a mistake! Don't worry, he will never make as many as Bonham.... Pray tell me how many mistakes Bonham has made . It’s a complete nonsense. Reading ( last Season) Swansea this . Saved us countless times . Millwall last minute for starters . Bonham is an excellent keeper for this division

What’s happened for him to fall so far down the pecking order at Leicester? I can understand him being behind the likes of Schmeichel in the Premier League, but he was the standout keeper in the Championship when he was on loan at Preston? From what I’ve seen of him his distribution isn’t all that. He’s more of an old fashioned twat the ball up the pitch keeper rather than your modern play it out from the back keeper. He's better than Travers for ball distribution. During the 20/21 season, Iverson completed over twice as many launches more than 40 yards than Travers did for Bournemouth, and his ability to stop crosses was far superior as well. He would be a top drawer signing and if we had any chance of keeping him, you have to say we've swum the Channel with the goalie position.

He was fairly average for Leicester last season, but it was a surprise to see him effectively 3rd/4th choice…..

If he signs won’t be long before he’s wank, a fraud, charlatan etc.

Must admit that I've not seen a whole lot of him to judge, but when I have seen him, he's been... ok, I guess? Not sure why folks seem to rave about him so much on here, but I'm guessing folks have seen/followed him much more than I have and can see the potential in him. There's definitely a few comments on there that seem like red flags, but I'm happy to reserve judgment for sure.

What’s your opinion on iversen FM Think I'd be pleased enough. Just a bit worried about a lack of game time over the last 2 years as his career has stagnated a bit

Looked dodgy when he had a run of games for Leicester but I'm hoping that was due to being rusty and them being totally shit at the time.

Looked very dodgy in the prem when Leicester were relegated, but that was in the prem so hopefully he can come in and do well.

Leicester play the ball across their back line and expect their keeper to be very good with the ball at their feet - Iversen isn't that type of keeper. Nothing to do with form - he's just at the wrong club and is still a good keeper. Can’t say I’ve noticed whether that would be as big an obstacle for Schu. Obviously if it is we shouldn’t sign him.

He let in a couple of soft goals he should have saved, particularly Brentford away. Saving that would have kept Leicester up. But overall, he performed better than Ward, who Leicester prefer to keep over Iversen!

We have a record of bringing in players who have been either sat on the bench not playing, or out on loan and returning to parent club and no one else wants. We need a player who is playing well regularly at Champioship (or better) level. Very difficult I know in January. I'd also question, where is our academy when it comes to developing GKs? Just not good enough.

I don't rate him that much better than Bonham! I thought Travers deal was already a given to return in January?

We have excellent young keepers however at 19 Sinkin is too young to be a first choice keeper in the Championship a loan out next season at a higher level than he's had then replace Bonham as the back up keeper for 2025/26 would be the logical path Right now we need a first choice keeper ASAP

Leicester play the polar opposite to a Schumacher team - they play the ball across the backline, suck teams in and then exploit the space in the middle and the keeper is part and parcel of the keep ball. Schumacher tries to get the ball forward as quick as possible so a more conventional keeper like Iverson should be fine.

But overall, he performed better than Ward, who Leicester prefer to keep over Iversen! Was at the Brentford game and watched him throughout as we were linked with him. Frightened me to death, and Bonham would have been castigated for that performance. I think whichever keeper we sign will be on a hiding to nothing. We do need a Bonham upgrade mind and competition for the position.

I'd be happy if we played the ball back to the keeper a lot less often. I do like a keeper who distributes the ball quickly especially if we're not winning but not overly fussed how he goes about that.

I saw quite a few of Leicesters final games and he looked extremely nervous in all of them apart from one game he had a blinder.
