Craig Gordon will be signed by wolves next week which in result will see hennesey get his long awaited move to Swansea for £7 mil. Roger Johnson will also be joining him but value yet to be agreed. Jamie Ohara is in discussions with Southampton,also Stoke have made contact with wolves about a possible swap deal plus cash deal for fletcher and Jarvis, names being mentioned are kenwyne jones and shawcrodd. However Martin Oneil is understood to be an admirer of both players and could be tempted to make a cash only bid. Watch this space
Is this guess work or fact ?
Ohara and johnson relegation follows them around if i was a fan of one of the promoted clubs no way would i want either
So shawcross would come to wolves doubt it n Hennessy 7 mill joking ay ya double it 2nd best keeper in the prem
Seriously doubt a lot of this, mainly Stoke giving us Shawcross? Sounds implausible.
I doubt shawcross would leave established premier league club, I would like us to go after thomas ince, cracking winger ideal replacement for Jarvis who is bound to leave, I think fletch will stay, something telling me he seems committed to us. I got high hopes for next season (as always), any suggestions who we should bring in?
I've actually heard that Swansea are interesed in hennesey along with everton, it's been well documented that Jarvis and fletcher are wanted by premiership clubs so that's plausible but don't think stoke could afford the transfer fees. Regards Johnson he's got connections to Cardiff however I don't think they could afford he's wages of £40,000 a week and as he's four years remaining on his contract it's unlikely he'll fancy moving unless a club are willing to match.The same to be said for Ohara,I believe that there won't be a massive exodus apart from hennesey, Jarvis and fletcher with three new faces replacing them on shoe string fees.
Man City & Arsenal have been linked with Hennesey in the past , I doubt we would sign Gordon he is too injury prone.
They may of been linked but never enquired, all media speculation and rumours! Secondly why would hennesey contemplate man city or arsenal to just become a second or third goalkeeper. Hennesey will go this summer an it will be to a lesser premiership club. Wolves will bring Craig Gordon which I'm hearing they're prepared to gamble on, let not forget that in 2007 he was bought for £9 mil and was the hottest prospect in Scotland, players don't suddenly become poor over night, I think he'll be worth the gamble especially if have a decent fee for hennesey!
Shawcross has been mentioned thats a guy youd call a defender a good part of the jigsaw
Like many Hearts players, Craig Gordon was over-hyped at the time (think Berra) and it's easy to shine in Scotland (trust me I live in Scotland). Is he worth a gamble? Well, he's free but how much would we need to pay him? Sounds more like the kind of player you'd want as emergency cover than as your long term solution.
