Surely that means he must have signed by now if he is going to?

He might have, we just wouldn't have announced it. If he has turned us down, we will find out tonight as we will set a deadline if he's told us he wants to think about it. If not, his agent will leak it to drum up interest from other clubs.
 
Henriksen deal is still on, its just reported on a few Dutch websites that he's back in the country after talks with us. Apparently AZ (his club) are happy for the deal to be pushed through as they're about to replace him with a better player, Adam Maher from PSV.
Are AZ buying Maher back then?

You would think they would shout it from the roof tops that they actually signed someone. May attract others?

Maybe, Henriksen isn't that well known that it'd turn heads, but he's certainly a good player. They'll announce Keane and Marshall for certain and if Henriksen has agreed to join us, then we will know by tonight as there'll be a few twitter rumblings and agent talk, no talk would be ideal, as it means no agent touting.
 
Well as we don't have Greegsy for a while, we need 3 senior keepers and we were hardly likely to risk Mannion given that he never even played for AFC Wimbledon first team. So that's why Marshall is coming in.

If we got Mason, we'd be getting a proven player. If we got Hendrick (not Hendricks for those of you who like to add s to things.), we'd at least be getting a player who has clearly outgrown the Championship. Just because a player is playing there doesn't mean it's their level; if they're the standout player in a team that usually finishes near the top of the table, it's a good sign. He dominated our midfield when they beat us and he's certainly one of, if not their best player at the moment. He's also got international caps and has played at tournaments, so even more experience. Henriksen is similar, playing in a good league for a good team and their standout player for the last two years, exactly who we should be targeting to replace Diame.
Maybe we are getting two of them?
 
We don't need anyone, otherwise we'd just pick off some players from Rochdale and Fleetwood for 20k each. It looks like we are identifying players that, under Bruce, we would've gone "I wish we had signed him" and that's a really good sign. To those suggesting the players listed are 'preparing for the Championship signings', Hendrick, Henriksen and Mason would be off as soon as we went down, so don't worry about it.
I think they would take £10k each.
