Manchester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel is set to leave the high flying Premier League club and move to Championship side Cardiff City on a one month loan deal after losing his first team place. The son of former United legend Peter Schmeichel had started all of City's opening seven games this season but City boss Sven Goran Eriksson decided that Joe Hart deserved his place in goals and he has kept his place ever since.Schmeichel was set for a loan move to Coventry City but that deal fell through due to financial difficulties at the club. Schmeichel is set to go straight into the Cardiff side to face Scunthorpe on Saturday. Manchester City boss Sven-Goran Eriksson was quick to stress that Schmeichel was still a part of his plans at Eastlands. He said: "This does not mean Kasper has no future here, he just needs to get some games."
I think this is the right thing for Schmeichel to do. He has had such a terrific start to his City carrer and unfortunately for some reason or another Sven has decided to play Joe Hart who hasn't put a foot wrong since stepping into the fold. He should go to Cardiff and play their for a month or possibly even longer and get some more vital first team football under his belt.
