Wayne and Boaz still good pals

Wayne Hennessey claims there will be no hard feelings if he loses out on the Wales goalkeeper's jersey to Boaz Myhill this week.[LNB] Wales manager John Toshack has a difficult decision for Friday's opening Euro 2012 qualifier in Montenegro as neither Wolves keeper Hennessey nor Myhill, who recently joined West Brom, are currently first choice at their clubs.[LNB]Toshack has given both players some action in Wales' last three fixtures - all friendlies - but now has to choose between them with training as his only form guide.[LNB]Yet as Wales begin their latest attempt to qualify for a major tournament for the first time since 1958 with optimism, Hennessey has taken some of the sting out of the situation.[LNB]The 23-year-old said: "Neither of us are playing week-in, week-out, so it will be interesting, but we keep training and probably the gaffer will pull one of us and tell us we are playing.[LNB]"Hopefully whoever it is will play well.[LNB]"He [Myhill] is probably one of my best friends. He is a good mate to me so if he comes in and does well I'm pleased for him.[LNB]"At the end of the day, whoever plays, I still want Wales to qualify. As long as he's doing a good job, I'm happy."[LNB]Hennessey, a product of the Wolves Academy, was linked with other clubs over the summer but eventually signed a new five-year deal at Molineux.[LNB]He remains behind Marcus Hahnemann in manager Mick McCarthy's pecking order but wants to make sure he is ready when the chance comes.[LNB]He said: "Big decisions (were made) behind closed doors - was I going to play or wasn't I? I had two years left, so I needed to know.[LNB]"At the moment Marcus is doing well - fair play to him - but you never know what is around the corner.[LNB]"I am nowhere near my prime yet. Goalkeepers hit their prime around 30 and I'm only 23. I'm still a youngster."
