Schmeichel to extend contract

[Mark]

KEVIN KEEGAN could get his wish, as Peter Schmeichel has admitted he may consider signing a new deal with Manchester City. The Citizens chief said before Christmas that it would be a huge boost if the Danish veteran decided to extend his stay beyond the summer, but said the*choice was entirely up to the keeper.

Schmeichel`s present deal runs out in the summer, and he has deflected all talk of a new deal.

However, he finally admitted on Friday that he could be tempted to spend another season under Keegan.

The Dane said: "I do think about next season and it will just come down to how happy I am.

"It's a matter of whether I enjoy getting up for work and if I can perform at the level I expect.

"This season has not been easy as I have to work harder than ever before, but I'm enjoying it here.

"When I played for Manchester United the games were coming thick and fast and you never had time to enjoy what you were doing. Now it's different.

"We don't have that many games and you get time to think about what you are doing. I can honestly say I haven't enjoyed playing as much as I do at the moment in my whole career."

as much as hes been a saviour for us this season , i dont know whether i want him to extend it

id love to see Weaver bk in there cause he was a main reason we won the league last season , up until he got his injury

and schmikes isnt getting any younger

Nash is a great replacement, don't worry Schmeichs ;)

Nash & Weaver are sh*te & Schmeichel isnt getting any younger,time for a new keeper in the summer

[Foley87]

why does everyone pick on Weaver , he was very young last time in the prem and he has learnt from his mistakes

he was the one who got us out of div 2 , remember wembley , and he was great last season

nash isnt great but better than a lot of keepers in the prem , and you cant put the blame all onto him for yesterday

but maybe we should look at signing a young keeper in the summer

[bluemoon32]

Houllt of West Brom would do me, we could get him 'cheap' in the summer after West Brom go down :D

[Foley87]

good point but how man other clubs would want him

[Mark]

maybe Arsenal, dunno really, doubt there'd be many as they all have decent keepers

mr weaver also helped put us down the year before mate,
with his lack of contrensation ie dublin at home, i would have nash before weaver, but wba hoult is a good call.
