It hasn't been announced yet

I read somewhere that wayne Hennessy is on about £28k, vs Speroni on £26k.

These figures are only from memory so will not be 100% so don't quote this as fact! But it struck me that he was comparatively on a lot of money for doing not a lot. A younger backup would cost a lot less.

There is an assumption that he is a good influence in some kind of paternal sense, but has anyone ever verified this? The success of a player has little relevence to being a successful coach or mentor.

I'm not for a second knocking the guy, clearly a true legend and gentleman. However it is worth noting that whilst he has been very loyal in the past, at 39 he has a dream job! Let's not let sentimentality cloud judgement of good value.

I am in agreement with this we need to have a young backup who can in time take over number 1 slot. Extending Julian's contract just puts this off for another day.

Also the behaviour of so called fans towards keepers brought in has been disgraceful and has not helped them establish themselves at the club.

Likewise I am not knocking him but we need to move on to a replacement but I would love him to stay at club in a non playing capacity

Veni, vidi, vici (I came, I saw and I concurred)

Denial is not just a river in Egypt

The standard of keeping in the Prem is poor. You only have to look at Karius’ performance the other night to see that. Hennessy is a decent keeper. He is solid enough, he will make the odd mistake usually at dead ball situations. But apart from De Gea they all do.
