Kasper Schmeichel

I heard a strange rumour at the weekend that the Rams have jumped to poll position in the race to sign Kasper Schmeichel.

With various Premier League teams involved it’s believed, we are the favoured option as we have “guaranteed first team football”. With Saul Deeney already guaranteed reserve team football and Bywater regularly praised by Clough as a one of the best keepers in the Championship, this seems a strange one.

It seems to me there can only be two answers – A) It’s nonsense B) Somebody’s coming in (relatively!) big for Bywater. Watch this space.
