I hope he takes his chance. He's up against Kasper Schmeichel, not Peter Schmeichel, so has every chance of establishing himself if he can maintain a consistent level of performance.
Kasper Schmeichel is the Jordi Cruyff of goalkeeping
I can't say I thought he was to blame for the two calls the other day. The first one was close range tap in and the second one his wall needs to do better.
Schwarzer is probably Leciester's equivalent to Brad Friedel at Spurs who have Vorm as their number two. They don't want a kid having to come in should Hamer get injured and in PL terms it probably costs minimal in wages for a 42 year old.
Ben's got himself a quality tutor in that of Schwarzer, he'll only go from strength to strength if Leicester secure themselves as a PL team in the years to come. He deserves it.
Schwarzer seems to be going straight in to the starting eleven today.
I wonder how long they envisage Hamer to be a reserve keeper!
At least his wages will soften the blow of disappointment.
His wages meant he was never going to sign for us. Leicester have themselves a decent Championship keeper if they come down and want to sell the other fella... It's called being a yo-yo club.... Yessssssz goal spurs vs Palace!
Oh to have Hamer with us still. I was always willing to overlook his occasional lapses as he was a good keeper and had the potential to to become a very good one. Joins the likes of Kermorgant, Stephens and Morrison as shocking deals for the club.

But he did sign for us. Or do you mean he was never going to resign as we were dropping his wages.
Another clean sheet for him today. Bet them splinters In his ass are hurting. Well done Ben.

Ben let his contract run down, and accepted a much better offer elsewhere. Not sure what else our current owners could have done.

Ben was waiting for a contract offer that never came until Leicester showed serious interest. The club could and should have tied him down 6 months earlier but was worrying about its championship status

I believe that this is correct. However, this was down to the previous regime not having any money
Whilst the money will be in a different league to what he was earning with us but I'm sure he's not the sort of lad to settle for being third choice keeper.

He's a cracking keeper and seems like a top guy too.
Just 2 routine saves and bad marking by the defenders for Lampard goal.
unless they cut out other chances ?
Pleased for Ben that most of their posters thought he put in a decent shift.

I like many rated him as our keeper and I thought he'd equipped himself pretty well in the premier league. That's football!

Hamer has done well for himself, good luck to him. I'd have him back in an instant.

Hamer has been benched for 42 year old Mark Schwarzer.
