Many of you seem to think he is the best keeper in this league, so if he was to go how much do you reckon he would go for.

10K Max is my guess

He was in awesome form before his injury last season and I think that is how most of us will remember him. Not for the slices into the stand, not for taking the ball and stepping back into the goal thereby conceding a goal. Not for Taylor , Coppell ( a God since his departure) and McGhee all preferring someone else to keep goal.

MK is an Albion legend but I fear he is not as good as some of us would like to think. Shame he's not willing to fight for his place, especially as he spent so long injured, no doubt on full wages, but would rather throw a hissy fit and play for a League 2 club.

I doubt anyone will pay a transfer fee for him, his wage demands will probably not make it a viable proposition. I reckon he'll go on a freebie.

You are clearly not a fan of the FDM, but he is by far a better all-round keeper than Hendo... I would rather have a keeper who commands his area and makes incredible saves than one who can kick well (most of the time) and tends to pat the ball out to on-rushing forwards...

Kuipers could have kep us in the CCC... Hendo didn't...

I personally think that Boston will sign him on a free in the summer, Boston don't actually have an experienced keeper that is theres at the minute, only youth team keepers I think.

wherever the money is
Here we go again. Kuipers blah blah balh. Change the record will you. At the end of the day it was his hissy fit about being dropped that got him palmed off to Boston. It was Coppell, Taylor and Magoo that have said he is not our number 1. I guess everyone else is worng and that Kuipers is the best thing since sliced bread:yawn: :yawn: :yawn:

You forget that Kuipers probably wouldnt have even got near the shots that Hendo parried out and also the fact that Kuipers as far as I remember NEVER commanded his area. As I have 20 years of experience playing goalkeeper in competitive matches I think I am well qualified to say that Henderson is by far the better keeper, and fortunately for Brighton Mark McGhee agrees with me.

Yes, I would second that. How much of the praise heaped on FDM is an indirect result of some people's dislike of McGhee ?

Totally agree with Fat Boy

Hendo is the number 1 and rightly so

As a keeper myself Henderson has more to him than Kuipers.

We need a number two though. The kids aren't ready and the French bloke will be going home soon.

I think he will go on a free because we will happy to get rid of a disruptive player who is also on decent money by Albion standards.

He is the highest paid player at the club. Fact.

Probably do what Adams and Taylor did rely on the kids as back up and get a keeper in on loan if Henderson is injured. Keepers are a bit easier to find than outfield players.

Absolute bobbins.

He is by far a better shot stopper than Hendo. Micky thought he was No 1 and i rate his opinion more than 2 bob managers like McGhee and Taylor.

Don't forget that other two-bob manager Coppell :)
