EX-SPILLER: David Lucas

[kjelvi]

Leeds har hentet inn keeperen David Lucas på en korttidskonmtrakt.

29-åringen vil være cover for Casper Ankergren. Hovedårsaken til Lucas-kontrakten er at keeper-nykommeren Alan Martin vil trolig misse en håndfull kamper på grunn av landslagsoppdrag (Skottland U19 og U21).

David har 100 kamper for moderklubben Preston før overgang til Sheffield Wednesday - hvor han også var under to låneopphold. Han fikk ca. 50 kamper for Wednesday før han ble sluppet foran fjorårets sesong. I forrige sesong spilte han tre kamper for Barnsley.

Den tidligere U21-landslagsspilleren for England vil få trøye nummer 25.

Får håpe dette ikke var overraskelsesspilleren SA snakket om?

[Sheridan]

Forhåpentligvis satser Dennis Wise på Jonathan Lund som reservekeeper, de gangene Alan Martin er på landslagstur. Og at denne karen blir ett 4 valg.

[Budda]

Hva med Lund? Regner med at han er skadet så er det noen som vet hvor lenge?

Lund = skadet
Lucas = 3.valg

Tja, treng vi verkeleg ein keeper til? Lucas gjorde vel sakene sine meget bra i Preston, men hadde heller sett at vi henta inn nokre utespelarar.

Han er klar. Mangler bare spillerlisens. Men han er vingspiller, så det er vel ikke noe å satse på i mål.[] Håper bare at ikke Lund blir skjøvet ut i kulden nå. Vi vet vel ikke ordet av det før han er i Tottenscum.........[}:)]

Keepere er bra å ha, særlig hvis de er gode. Bare bra med konkurranse om den plassen. Bra, Wise.

Change is the constant that cannot be changed.

Regner med at han kommer godt med når vi må be de høyere makter om hjelp, navnet David Lucas burde klinge godt i de kretser...

Lucas is planning for a long stay at United

David Lucas is planning for a long stay with Leeds United after joining the Elland Road club on a short-term deal this week.
Lucas exploited his status as a free agent to complete a permanent move to Leeds outside the transfer window, and Dennis Wise has added the former Sheffield Wednesday and Preston goalkeeper to his squad on an initial contract until January.
Lucas is likely to operate as United's second-choice keeper behind Casper Ankergren, providing additional cover after the arrival of youngster Alan Martin from Motherwell last month, and the transfer is a welcome opportunity for Lucas after two frustrating seasons.
The 29-year-old's career Hillsborough, which brought promotion from League One at the end of his first campaign in 2005, was ruined by a serious knee injury, and Lucas moved on from Wednesday last summer after snapping a cruciate ligament.
He completed his recovery in time to join Barnsley in January but was released from Oakwell at the end of the term, and he joined his third Yorkshire club by signing for Leeds on Tuesday afternoon.
Lucas said: "I'm really excited about the move, and hopefully it will be extended.
"It feels good, and I've got a similar sort of feeling to what I had at Sheffield Wednesday when I first went there.
"Both clubs were not really where they wanted to be, but with massive potential to improve and to get back to where they should be.
"It's a privilege to be here. The first thing I noticed was how together and upbeat the lads were. There are no big-time Charlies from what I can see."
Lucas turned down a new contract with Wednesday last year, preferring instead to concentrate on his rehabilitation, and his fitness improved steadily during six months with Barnsley
"It was a stepping stone between sitting at home and getting back to playing and training every day," Lucas said.
"I feel a lot more comfortable now than I did during first few weeks and months that I was with Barnsley."
Wise said: "He's 29 and a little bit more experienced. He's been at a few clubs and he's trained well. He'll give a bit of competition to Alan and Casper.
"It's a good age for a goalkeeper, and if we need him he'll go in."

Får håpe vi ikke gir han en langtidskontrakt. Bør heller satse på Martin og Lund. Lund bør vel være frisk i januar så da er det ingen vits å beholde Lucas noe lengre

Hva feiler det Lund da?
