I think a lot of people underestimate how key he can be. I know when I was playing Sunday league the amount of confidence the back four took from having our 1st choice (and really very good) keeper behind us was huge. A confident defence plays better & can free up the midfield from some of it's protective duties & so on. I have no doubt it is even more relevant at PL level. Looking at results in 2016, 8 saves could have earnt us 15 more points - that's how close the margins are. The difference between last season and the season before was not in goal - the problem was we scored a lot less goals. Hennessey has shown in the Euros that he's a fine keeper, making good saves and dominating his area. Mandanda might be an improvement on Hennessey (I haven't seen Mandanda play) but that is not really an area of concern.

Hennessy is the best we have but he is prone to far too many mistakes. If we have a keeper who can reduce the mistakes by, say, 50% then we will get an additional six points minimum per season. Whilst Hennessy has had a decent Euro 2016 he has never really been under great pressure and I do not recall one top class save he has had to make. He has been what he is for us, a capable but not great goalkeeper.

If he wants to go and live in the slums then fine. London and the Ultras will be too much to turn down.

I'm guessing we won't know until the 1st I assume most contracts run until the 30th so we can sign him until he's legally free ? I really do hope we get him.
