On good authority - Wayne Henderson To Join From Villa

[Rusco]

I was told this by a Villain fan mate who just happened to be in their ticket office this morning when he overheard what was happening, of course he decided to me straight away.

My mate reckons he is a great prospect and was part of their FA Youth Cup winning team of a few years ago. He also tells me that he almost joined QPR a few weeks ago, but the deal broke down at a late stage.

Apparently Villa wanted a fee from QPR. A month gives him a chance to impress, clarify the Blayney option and Kuipers get's closer to fitness.

 

[CHAPPERS]

He's come up through the Republic of Ireland ranks, playing at all levels up to u-21's. I reckon he might be okay as a stop gap until Soton make up their minds about Blayney or we find somebody else.

It's better than having Martin in goals, that's for sure.

 

[Jonathon Livingstone]

As long as he's not related to Darius, he should be okay.

Why? Darius did a pretty good job keeping the ball out of the net!

 

[Albion Dan]

Based on what? He has hardly played many games and like Blaney is young.

I didnt personally think Blayney was as good as many on here. If hes an U21 international then he should be better than Blayney.

Wasn't Blayney an u21 international?

I heard it from the chairman himself so it must be true!

Saints fans don't rate Blayney at all you know, in fact they can't understand why we keep raving about him. Maybe this Henderson fella will turn out to be even better.

Were you also discussing our Seagulls World compensation at the time

But Saints fans are goons.

He was otherwise engaged so I thought it best to leave him be!

 

[Napper]

Henderson will do as a stop gap

 

[Don Tmatter]

We tried to get him on loan back in January, but it was blocked by the Football League because of some technicality.

Yes,the technicality of him being on a season long loan to Notts County!!

Who's first team he struggled to break into.........

I have to say with Blayney I did think there were still flaws in his game. Against West Ham he was so slow off his line for the second goal it was worrying, but things like that could be coached out of him.

 

[B.W.]

Just need a reasonable goalie with at least some experience for Sat... someone, anyone who meets the criteria... why not Henderson?...

I agreee, and it was also my big concern about how he was on 1 v 1 situations, or his reaction to situations in general. I think there are better keepers about, obviously we dont know about Henderson but he must have soemthing about him to get u21 honours for a side like the Republic.

Southampton have had a slight embarresment of riches when it comes to keepers but i recall Blaney winning save of the season down here 2 seasons ago when he came in at the latter part.

Still hope we sign Blaney

 

[dunno]

confirmed by text - got McShane until Jan and set to sign Henderson

 

[dougdeep]

Great news.
