We tried I think and he told us to do one.
Maybe didn't try hard enough.

£13m-£18m is big money for an unproven 20 year old. Not saying he won't go on to become a top midfielder but these figures quoted are surprising.
Furthermore, what are we supposed to do with our other young midfielders - Spearing who's recently signed a new deal, and Shelvey who is tipped to have a big future at LFC, Kenny's a big fan by all accounts.
In the years to come we might kick ourselves that we didn't go for this lad, but i just don't think we need a player like him at this present time.

Is he any good on the right?
We could be just getting involved in the Henderson thing in order to drive up the price and fuck up Man Utd to piss them off and give them a warning that we won't sit there and take the Adam/Young shit. Especially the Adam shit,

I'm underwhelmed by the Henderson link. I think I saw him only twice so I've no idea what I'm talking about but I suspect he's just overhyped because he's young and English.
...oh, and because he kind of has a 90s radio DJ name.

Interesting.
There was huge talk about him in January re a move to man city for 20m odd. Then he made his England debut, played shit and everybody forgot about him.
My dad is a lifelong sunderland fan so I watch quite a bit if them due to some random affinity. He's a good player, Subderlands best, and when they were fucking useless over the last 3 months of the season he was the only one doing anything. Playing-wise, he's like a young Gerrard; Marauds all over the place, scores goals, and is a big crowd favorite.
He's got a lot to learn though so we're not buying the finished product here.
Still, I like him and that should be enough for everyone. Good signing if it happens.

I don't get this - you complain about signing an average midfielder (Barton) and very capable CM (Adam), and then say this is a good signing? Where will he play? Ahead of Lucas/Gerrad/Raul? On the right ahead of Kuyt? I've not watched him enough to confirm what you say wrt talent (He always seems ok to me), but he's never stood out as a 12.5 million player (who gives a crap what Citeh want to spend, they over spend by 50-100% on most of their targets).
[/quote]
I rate Henderson above Barton and Adam that's why.
I've never said we don't need extra midfielders. I have said though that we don't need shit extra midfielders.
[/quote]
Where would you play him then? Ahead of Lucas or Kuyt or Raul?

Stop me if you've heard this one before.
'Our best 11' happens on paper alone.
Do you think Ferguson looked at the names Scholes, Carrick, Anderson, Fletcher and Giggs and thought "fuck, how are 5 players going to fit into 2 central midfield positions"?
He didn't.
Gerrard got injured last year, we sold Mascherano, and Jay Spearing had to play in central midfield. No harm to Jay, he's a decent sort and a solid pro, but he's nowhere near good enough to be figuring in the central midfield of a title-aspiring side.
We need players that will come in, improve on what we've got, and add something we either don't have already or prove better than what we have.

I know you can't judge a player on one game but....
His goal against Wigan was superb.
Jordan Henderson vs. Wigan 23/04/11
That was the first time I'd seen/heard of him too.

Skysports.com can confirm that Sunderland have rebuffed an approach from Liverpool for midfielder Jordan Henderson.
Manchester United and Manchester City had both been keeping close tabs on the England international.
But Liverpool have suddenly made a surprise move for the talented young midfielder, who can play out wide or in the middle.
Kenny Dalglish is clearly looking to invest heavily this summer and Henderson has emerged as one of his top targets.
It is understood the Anfield outfit's initial interest would have seen them willing to pay £13million, but Sunderland have rebuffed their advances.
The Wearside outfit, though, may be willing to do business at a much bigger price - £20milllion plus - as they have their own midfield targets.
Skysports.com understands one of those is Manchester United's Darron Gibson, and Steve Bruce is ready to approach his former boss Sir Alex Ferguson over his availability and also that of defender Wes Brown.

Henderson to the mancs looks pretty nailed on if this is the case

That might depend on how the player himself sees things. He might think he has more of a chance of regular first team football with us, and that would be a big factor for someone who's just won his first international cap.

Andy Carroll's transfer fee is going to be a millstone around our necks for a very long while, which is the consequence of reckless purchases aimed at making a statement.
Anyway, I hope we dont bother with Henderson anymore.
Fathead was of the view that Matthew 'England International' Upson was worth 15 million pounds some 4 years ago, so he has previous for stupidity.
Next.

I guess we'll never know who the other three were.
All those assisters score fuck all. Do you reckon if you put them all in the same team they'd just keeping teeing each other up indefinitely? They'd be like Arsenal then I suppose and everyone would love them.
