Bit harsh on Hennessey. He's looked pretty good to me when he has been given a chance.

I feel the same way. It's just not a very convincing way for a top ten PL team to recruit for such a vital position. I think that is why so many have reservations. I'm playing Devils advocate by giving you my reason as to why I think a big statement signing between the sticks is needed to take us and keep us to the next level.

"We love you Palace, we f@cking hate Man U, We love you Palace, we hate the brighton too, We love you Palace we play in red 'n' blue, so f@ck you, and you ...

Link from the Bu***hit Mirror but if true & we did sign Krul would Hennessey leave? I can't see him wanting to be 2nd choice again next season. He deserves his chance now.
It would also be a bit unfair to Speroni if he was made third choice behind Krul & Hennessey (if pardew chooses WH above JS)

The media generally knows nothing and plucks rumours from the Twittersphere. But it relies on possible future developments to guesstimate that random players are going to random clubs. It also helps if the player's somehow connected with the manager (ie Newcastle players and Pards).

I can't see Hennessey being first choice next season so I would not be surprised if he leaves anyway.

One of two things seems clear. Either a). Pardew simply does not fancy Hennessey, or b). that he has a good enough offer for Hennessey (from WBA?) and can bring in Krul for less money than WH that he thinks the deal makes sense financially without sacrificing ability at the position.

It also seems pretty obvious that Jules will not start the season in possession of the number one shirt unless either WH or Krul totally fails to displace him in pre-season.

My sense is that WH will probably go and Krul will probably come in to replace him, giving us what Pards believes is a better keeper for the same (or less) money when everything is taken into account (transfer fee plus wages). I feel a bit for WH...like Guediora he really has not been given a chance. But that said, Krul is a proven quantity at Premiership level and WH is not.
