Kevin Pressman Leaving Leicester

[Uncle Buck]

Taken from the Beeb. The main bit is about the missing link leaving, however the snippet about Pressman probably going could be interesting, especially as we are after an experienced keeper and it cannot really be a loan one as we need one for the rest of the season and you can only have players on loan for up to 3 months now.

Leicester City have terminated the contract of 38-year-old defender Martin Keown by mutual consent.
The former Arsenal player has made just 18 appearances for the club since signing a one-year deal last summer.

Foxes boss Craig Levein said: "Younger players are the way forward. Martin has done a fantastic job but he is not the future and he understands that."

Kevin Pressman is also expected to leave the club following the signing of former Spurs keeper Lars Hirschfield.

Levein added: "It's now been three months since I arrived at Leicester and during that time I've been making up my mind about which way we are heading.

"Rather than wait until the summer we've accelerated things a little and hopefully we will be able to use the money that we will gain from Martin leaving, to bring in some other players."

From Leicesters site;

Goalkeeper Kevin Pressman has parted company with Leicester City.

The 37-year-old has had his contract terminated at the Walkers Stadium by mutual consent.

After 19 years at Sheffield Wednesday, Pressman arrived in the East Midlands in the summer after putting pen-to-paper on a one-year deal.

He went on to make 15 appearances for the Foxes in the absence of the injured Ian Walker.

Pressman's departure paves the way for Canadian International Lars Hirschfeld to join up with the Foxes from Dundee United.

Pressman had a pretty decent game for Leicester when they drew 0-0 here at the end of October. But he certainly is a size these days.

Pressman doesn't look like he's missed a lunch since 1983.

Decent Keeper, Bags of experience

 

[Muzzman]

Better bring the big shoe horns then coz that's the only way we're gonna be able to wedge him in the goal.

 

[TonyW]

No way has Pressman EVER missed a lunch, or any other meal for that matter.
Plenty of shots and crosses have flown passed him though.
Surely we can do better that that overweight under-talented has been!!

So is Guy Butters, it matters not.

 

[chez]

No, I dont want him. Too old, if we're gonna get an oldie in then Id rather have big Dave Beasant back!!!

 

[Silent Bob]

Yeah but if we get him on a month's contract then come Febuary 8th we can look at loaning someone for the rest of the season.

[madmatt10583]

Fat, Old, Crap. Just the bloke for you!!

 

[Stumpy Tim]

With our Arsenal contacts you would have thought we would go for that Taylor bloke who is their number 3 or 4

 

[trueblue]

He is shite now. No thanks.

 

[Ex Shelton Seagull]

According to SCR this morning, McGhee is going to choose between 2 Premiership keepers, one of whom is one loan at a League club.

I reckon NSP has secured ANOTHER exclusive on this story.

Please not Pressman, experience really doesn't make up for lack of mobility, especially in a goalkeeper.
