Brighton - Blayney ready for Saints exit EXCLUSIVE
06 Oct 2005 14:00

On-loan Brighton goalkeeper Alan Blayney has revealed that he is ready to make a permanent exit from Southampton, writes Richard Cawley.

The Irish shotstopper recently extended his loan spell at Mark McGhee's side until the end of December - and admits that Saints boss Harry Redknapp is happy for him to leave the St Mary's Stadium.

"I don't think Harry had much problem with me leaving," Blayney said, "He's happy for me to go out on loan and to leave so I'm obviously not in his plans which suits me fine.

"In these situations you do have to think of number one and what's best for you. I have to be playing football now, I'm 24 and need to be making my trade in the game.

"I said last season that if Southampton went down that I'd have a better chance of playing but Antti (Niemi) and Paul (Smith) have stayed where they are and I can't blame them - it's a fantastic club. I just have to move on and try and find first team football elsewhere."

I wanted Yasmin Bleeth! You can't have everything you know.

Blaney is a good goal keeper, its funny, the end of last season everyone was screaming for him to stay, the start of this season a lot of people were slagging off Hendersons kicking. Fickle lot us footie fans.

I am up for Blaney signing, does Henderson want to stay too?

I'd like McShane to sign more....

It's not that we're fickle, it is just that we have now seen what Henderson is all about.
After a shakey start, he is getting more confident and has turned in some good performances.
So long as we get one of them on a contract i don't really mind, so long as they don't both slip through the net.

The Sun is saying loan extended with a £25k move next year, presumaby January. I wouldn't rule out signing Henderson too and McShane wants to play first team football.

 

[junior]

I expect he'll sign for Reading or QPR

 

[fatboy]

Henderson please

Mcshane would be great

 

[graz126]

MCshane is surely bound to go reading.

 

[fatboy]

McShane will stay at Man U, and if not he will be good enough for the Premiership.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

McShane is quality, BUT IMO too small for a centr half in the Prem.

may come for a season or two before a step up

 

[Seagull Pete]

Dont care. Just to win a game would be good, whoever is in goal.

 

[trueblue]

McShane won't stay at Man U. They have other youngsters like Pique and Bardsley ahead of him in the queue, and even they are struggling to get games in the midst of one of United's biggest defensive crises for years.

 

[Del Boy]

I want Henderson!! And while we at it could we have McShane aswell please?
