Peter Schmeichel's son

[Scion]

first noted him when he was a "wonderkid" at Man City, think 10 years ago

 

supposed to have huge potential because of his father

 

but after that he faded away without any outstanding displays (or chances)

 

read that he was the starting Gk for Denmark against England during the mid-week friendlies

 

already 27 years old (but only 3 caps)

 

now playing for Leicester but seems like Man Utd and AC Milan are trying to buy him for £4 million

 

wonder if he will ever go on to become as good as his father Peter the Great? [nod]

I think he is much shorter than his father.

I think he is much shorter than his father.

 

according to stats, he's only 5cm shorter (1.88m vs 1.93m)

 

agility wise, should be similar

 

maybe he lacks his father's leadership and vision on the field

Many goalkeepers make saves with their finger tips.

 

5 cm shorter means he miss the ball by a whole finger.

He's 5 cm shorter from heel to head...We dun know his arm span. He could have longer arm + finger than his father. Hence better reach...

[Meanmachine]

Talents are found in agility and versatility, height may be added advantage but not too much, look at french custodian FabianB who play for Utd & many shorter stoppers in clubs world-wide, the passion and consistency are key elements.

 

Clean and healthy personality, character and charisma are worthy facts to reckon with quick refexes and able to command vision in attacking, a strong hand with ball winning mentality within the 6 yard box.

 

Good vision and leadership skills are a plus factor.

That is one shoe that is not easy to fill.

Inevitably a curse to be living in someone's shadow.

 

Let him be a good gk in his own right - top flight or not.
