Agree, Simples. I think the people trashing Hennessey are beginning to realise that it is not as easy or as cheap to find another keeper that will be significantly better. Concur. I'm not going to laud Hennessey as one of the top keepers in the Premier League, but put a rock in front of him and I have enough confidence in him not to gamble on another keeper. Sure if we could pick up a proven, decent Premier League goalie for a sensible price then I'd have no problem with us replacing Wayne, but as you rightly say, none of the rumours we've had so far tick those boxes and could truly be considered a "safe bet".

I wouldn't be adverse to a new number 2 keeper though, no disrespect to Speroni of course.

I am confident that the 'Status Quo' is unlikely to be maintained in terms of our goalkeepers for the start of the season.

I'm not convinced there was much to choose between Mandanda and Hennessey either and that didn't turn out well. Either get in a significantly better keeper (unlikely we'll spend the cash IMO) or a decent number 2 that wouldn't be too bothered being number 2 to Hennessey.

After watching the u20s tournament, maybe we should be looking at bringing in Freddie woodman. He might not be ready this season but has potential to be a top goalie.

Edited by Dan89 (19 Jul 2017 9.36am) You make this judgement - so if, for example, Hennessey gets injured in the first game, I suppose you would be very uncomfortable seeing Woodman 'between the sticks' seeing he is not ready for PL football.

Well other than one of them played in goal for Palace, and the other one could not get on the bench.

The one that couldn't get on the bench started out as first choice, got injured, apparently threw a tantrum when he came back because he was bench warming and then got dropped completely. You make it out he couldn't make the bench entirely based on ability, I have my doubts that was the only factor.

Of course that all assumes he was genuinely injured and didn't just have a fall out with the gaffer from the off.
