There's nothing like a misleading headline to generate web traffic. Not so long ago Gareth Owen's move from Sheffield Wednesday to Oldham was the most popular story on News Now, thanks to some cunningly vague headlines.

Now my beloved Wolves have got in on the act, with the headline Henry In Talks. Hard as I tried, I couldn't picture TH14 in a Wolves shirt (and not because he'd struggle to make the first eleven) but the link still had to be clicked.

Maybe Wolves are trying to raise extra transfer funds via Google Adsense, or maye someone just fancied a chuckle, but turns out the Henry in question is Karl, the out of contract former Stoke midfielder (pictured). No international superstar striker, no Vra Vra Voom but still pretty good news since the majority of Wolves midfielders upped and left this summer.
