Keeper ponders future

Last updated : 13 February 2003 By FootyMAD
Schmeichel is out of contract in the summer and has yet to make a decision on whether to retire, or to continue for another year, and that decision may well decide Nash's future with City.

"Of course I want to be playing, every professional wants that," Nash told City's official website .

"I am not unhappy at City. Whether you are first, second or third-choice keeper it is a great club. Anyone who takes the decision to leave would have had to do a lot of hard thinking.

"A lot will depend on whether Peter decides to stay another year. At the moment if he is fit then he plays and I respect that.

"Although I am not in Peter's league I am no spring chicken any more and I would like regular first-team football.

"But competition is what it is all about at this level and I am sure Nicky Weaver will be thinking the same.''
