Where did you hear this? I was away most of the long weekend & didn't see any press or have internet access.

One of the English tabloids? So it may be only speculation.

maybe, but unfortunately that is where we get quite a lot of our 'information'

I have to say I have some reservations about Henderson but I really hope I'm wrong. He defintely has talent and, despite a kicking error against Watford that cost Brighton a goal, he is a super ball striker. He's only young though and has had a very good first season. Leeds would be very interesting. If true, hopefully it'd be as first choice. Sullivan seems well past his best.

Also, if this rumour is true, and that of Warnock being interested in Paddy McCarthy, it's good that the Irish guys are getting noticed when they play against the better clubs. I hope the same applies to Healy, Hoolahan & Tierney at Livingston in the SPL.

yeh hoolahan apparently impressed for livingston, i think it was their manager who said before relegation that if they did go down, he would get taken away from them .
