Wayne Henderson hands in Transfer Request

[Uncle Buck]

SSN and Henderson

Just had a call saying that Sky Sports News have a banner saying that Henderson has handed a transfer request in.

 

[seagulls4ever]

I've been watching it for the past half hour ... seen nothing about Henderson.

 

[The Large One]

Confirmed. Just come up on SSN.

Tell me it's not another hissy-fit. PLEASE.

 

[Wozza]

McGhee out!!!!!!11

 

[Silent Bob]

He's missed one game?

 

[Superphil]

He'll have to wait till January,

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

That is ridiculous

 

[Uncle Buck]

What is about competition for places and international dummy spitting at this club?

 

[Man of Harveys]

I shall reserve judgement until the full story comes out but IF he's leaving either a) because of McGhee going or b) because of Kuipers being given a chance, then he's mentalist.

Uncle Buck, I think you said a fair while ago that it was not sustainable that we had two very good keepers at the club both desperate for 1st team football and I dared to agree with you on this recently. Inevitable, no?

 

[Brovion]

SEE? MCGHEE'S FALLEN OUT WITH HENDERSON NOW!

Oh, hang on a minute .......

 

[London Irish]

Law of unintended consequences strikes again.

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

oh bloody hell

But Henderson is fairly unproven at first team level and if he goes anywhere else is he going to get first team football, he is young and keepers generally mature later.

You are correct that I did not see how we could have 4 professional keepers at the club, but by loaning Martin out for the season, that problem has been sorted in the medium term.

WILKINS OUT!!!!!





Its that DK's fault...its all falling apart

 

[Redhead]

Wilkins Out He's falling out with the players

 

[ATFC Seagull]

Might be getting cold-feet given his ambition and international prospects, but seems a little extreme after 1 game, especially seeing as the window has just shut. Personally I think opinion has to hinge on

a) what he's exactly said
b) what may have been said by the new coaching staff to him

He can't have been overly happy with the "Brighton's No.1" chants towards Kuipers at Millwall. A great deal of the fans here have not made him feel particularly welcome, particularly for an international keeper who could easily find a starting place a division above us.

Well, if I were a professional goalkeeper and got left out for Michel Kuipers then I would want out of here too.

 

[The Large One]

Here we go again...

Put that can-opener away.

A player making the No2 spot for the Republic probably thinks he deserves 1st team football, and the reality is there are plenty of young keepers in the top two leagues these days, never mind those lower down. I would think he's scared stiff about losing his international spot and is panicking. Let's hope we have someone capable of calming him down.
