Who is James Hennessey?
SO the "silly season" as it's known - every football club in the land being linked with every single player going - is now well and truly upon us.
If Wolves were to sign all the players they have been linked with in the month since wrapping up Championship hostilities, we'd probably be looking at a squad of 50-plus already.
Still, agents, journalists, football clubs, players - they all have a job to do and they all want to improve their lot if at all possible.
Hence the raft of gossip and speculation which hits the papers in the summer and, let's face it, without which life with no football (yes thank you Steve McClaren) would be pretty boring.
For a local reporter it's a case of trying to sort the wheat from the chaff, the fact from the fiction.
Talking to all sorts of people, trying to decipher whose words are closest to the truth, and assessing all the rumours accordingly.
Well there was one this morning that was particularly interesting.
Wayne Hennessey has certainly been a hugely impressive figure in the year-and-a-bit he has manned the goalposts for Wolves.
No wonder a host of clubs have had him watched, no wonder one or two may yet take a punt, and no wonder that the Daily Mirror today reported that Arsenal were considering an £8million bid.
Potentially nothing implausible in that.
But whilst Hennessey has certainly made a big name for himself, it didn't sadly extend to this particular story's headline writer.
The story itself was fine - Wayne Hennessey etc etc - but there, in big letters, came the headline: "ARSENAL CHASING WOLVES KEEPER JAMES HENNESSEY".
Great stuff. Who is this James Hennessey that Arsenal are chasing?
Google throws up a few contenders: James Hennessey of the 87th Infantry Div, 345th, Co E? Maybe not. James Hennessey the author whose works include 'Nomadic Furniture' and 'the complete book of built-ins?' James Hennessey the celebrated artist and former professor of painting at the Maryland Institute College of Art?
What was that? It was just a misprint? You're kidding. Well never mind.
Maybe Wolves could haul in a chap off the street, call him James Hennessey, and flog him to Arsenal for £8million.
Now that would be silly...
