Schmeicel joins Fowler and Hasselbaink at City

CASPER MAKES A FLYING SAVE
... Oops, sorry, wrong Kasper!
Think it's now established beyond doubt, as if there ever was any with most City fans, that Dave Jones cocked up by pushing Neil Alexander out of the club without an equivalent or better replacement lined up. By trying to fix what wasn't broken, a heavy price is being paid.

In desperation, or is it now complete disarray?, in comes another one. The 4th keeper Barmy Dave has tried this year. It's Kasper Schmeicel, son of the Great Dane Peter, who has slipped to 3rd choice after playing Man City's first 7 games in their explosive start to the season and who was, just a few weeks ago, being half-begged to commit an international future to England where's he lived virtually all his life.

A loan seems sensible as it was apparent he has a few rough edges to his game and needs more experience. Rest assured Kasper, I'm sure Cardiff's defence will provide that for you.

However fans were shocked to learn what was initially touted as a remainder of season deal does in fact appear to be just 1 month. In that time, Schmeicel can play a maximum of just 4 games given cup commitments (he's cup tied) and 2 weekend breaks.

How can this be in anyone's interest?
