Thats the rumour mate. Im with you though (barring the cereal miss-hap as I'm a bacon sarnie man come weekends ). Paddy has been fine for us, cant moan about him at all, far more pressing issues than looking for a keeper.

Especially Foster! IMO, Kenny's better than him anyway.

the bacon sarnie comes after...lol....
i do wonder how much of our games some of these journos see..i think they just go on reputation sometimes(in Kenny's case,the fact he has followed NW around)

[Bigdave]

To be fair i didnt rate Kenny that highly until we signed him. But he was superb and must of won us 10-12 points last year.

I think we still need to know the full extent of Kenny's injury problems.Hence the possible need for another keeper.

Gr8 keeper imo as stated above far more pressing concerns I think Paddy and Cerny in his absence has been outstanding!

[DelTrotter]

I dont get why everybody is so shocked...I think we probably need a new keeper aswell and Foster is better/younger than Kenny. Not our priority at the moment, though.

[Devon Park Ranger]

Out of all the crazy stories doing the rounds this is the most ridiculous imo...
Paddy Kenny was rightfully voted as supporters player of the year and named in the PFA Championship Team of the Season...

Would still be my first name on the team sheet every week (if fit) and as said above ‘far more pressing concerns’ than replacing Paddy right at this moment..

[PedalR]

Paddy and Radek are fine by me.... anyway, you can't just bring loads of new faces in willy-nilly..... there has to be some sort of continuity and we simply have no need to tinker with the GK position at this juncture.

Played very well last year and may be ok in the short term if he trains in the right way and returns to the form of last year. But that might be a big if and will need one in the long term in any case so good move.

[Chopper]

If he could collect a cross I would be convinced, but this year he is rooted to the line. Not good enough this year.

You'll get some stick but I think you're right, it's exactly what I've been thinking.
As a shot stopper there's not many better. His reactions and reflexes are up there with the best. But for crosses, especially corners when he stays on his line, coming out to close down and narrow angles, and command of the whole box generally isn't the best.
Having said that, he is good enough for us, just not top quality in all areas.

[QPR Richard]

MHs staff consists of two former keepers, perhaps they've seen some serious flaws in Paddy.

[blueboy]

so do we replace Kenny with a keeper who is better at taking crosses but an inferior shot stopper?
