Jordan Henderson

[Hansern]

I cant understand why we're moaning. Top english talent, great prospect, 20 years old and has got everything in his locker to be a superstar. Can play anywhere in midfield and will probably be used as a winger.
If we have money to spend on these signings, why should Utd get him? So that we next season and in the future will always be reminded of what could have been.

This lad will be ace. No doubt, and he wont be the only signing eiter.

A year ago we were discussing Gerrard and Torres leaving, having to sell to buy and 2 twats in charge woud have happily let the club to go under.

Its refreshing. It will make us challenge next year and I love it!

Not sure how exactly he warrants a 70k a week wage....

I'm wondering that as well. Do you really have to triple or quadruple a players salary?

Or is it a case of offering a better package than other interested parties?

It'd be interesting to know.

I think Hansern's campaign to be voted Optimistic Poster of the Year 2011 is gathering pace.

His agent just said 'Are you trying to tell me he's not even half as good as Jovanovic?'

 

[Hansern]

Sorry Buns.

He's awful and we're wasting our money. Buy someone Spanish and mediocre for 8-10 mill £ instead.

 

[TheBunnyman]

Er ... yes, because that's what I was implying, isn't it?

 

[Hansern]

Sounded as such since you dont rate Henderson.
Appolz if I misunderstood mate. 🙂

ok Im sold

 

[the_khl]

Hansern you've seen him play much?

 

[Hansern]

Yeah, Ive watched quit a bit of Sunderland this season and been very impressed.
Faded as the rest of the Sunderland team did, but there is a reason he has created 4th most chances in the league this season...

 

[Rafiagra]

Did you know that Bale and Nasri only had 1 assist each this season? Thats fucking woeful.

Now, I'm not saying that Henderson is obviously better than them but the ability to create chances and goals for others shouldnt be underestimated.

Cheers mate.

Not taken notice of him meself to be honest but Marks Youtube clip in this thread looked promising.

I'm hoping for this signing as well.

*I'll watch him closely when the U21 European Championship starts come Saturday.

 

[dmishra]

This is another excellent clip. Looks a top talent

Jordan Henderson vs Rumania Clasf. U21 2010

He is a self-confessed manc though btw. Just saying like.

[Avmenon]

So was Ronnie Whelan.

All that matters is whether hes good or not.

 

[gene hughes]

Charlie Adam is also a Scum fan btw.

 

[Hansern]

According to Tony Barrett it looks like its going to happen.

you sure ? he's born and raised in Sunderland is he not ? They're pretty passionate up there so a surprise if he was a big united fan although of course possible.

My Mackem mate says he's decent and could become excellent but at the moment can easily go missing in games . And he's been playing sort of centrally so interesting to see when Kenny fits him in , he doesn't look an out and out winger .

£18m is probably too much but if we can afford it then who really cares .Also a big fee signing early in the summer would reinforce our position as being on the up and might help convince other players that we mean business and are going places . Obviously though we shouldn't waste big money on just any player for this.

I reckon it's more likely to convince everyone else for the whole summer that we'll pay vastly inflated fees for unproven players, especially if they're British.

I haven't seen enough of him to know if I rate him or not. I was just saying (before) that he's obviously overpriced.

My comment that you replied to was just referring to your tendency, lately, to say that every player we're seriously linked with is brilliant. Maybe I'm being unfair - I always thought you were a good poster before. You're just coming across (to me) as a bit of a The New Regime Can Do No Wrong-er.

well inflated prices are what every big team faces , catch 22 - need to spend big to buy the best players but then can't stay pretending are poor to keep prices down if do . Just something we'll have to live with. Rather that then not being able to buy any decent players at all .

That was Tony Evans no?

 

[Stulikesdrums]

I've got no problem with the Henderson deal at all.
He looks like a good player now and will definitely get better.
Its the LW signing that I am really anxious about.

Ah, I completly got the wrong end of the stick there mate. I dont think I've been overly positive about the new regime, but I have yet to see something or hear something which I dont like. I dont agree with all the players we're linked with, and have my reservations about the Downings and the Adams. But overall I think building the squad is equally if not even more important as all these marqee signings we talk about.
If the Downings and Adams can contribute to winning the league then fine.

The jury is still out on Comolli, and the fees for both Carroll and now possibly Henderson is way overpriced. But sadly thats the market for English talent and it looks like Kenny and FSG want a strong English spine in the squad.
Jones, Henderson, Wickham and Mata are excellent additions. Enrique, Dann and Downing are good squad/first team players. All improvement on what we got in our squad today. The rest I cant remember commenting on tbh, so I cant have been to positive regarding them.

Last years summer and our failings in the transfer market the last couple of seasons make me want us to go after these type of players that Utd have been signing for some time. We all know that Henderson will be a fucking huge hit if he goes to Utd.

There is an air of positvity regarding Liverpool and the future for me, and that maybe effects my belief these days. Its just that things has drastically changed since the end of last season. And it just feels good that things finally look like they're on track towards challenging for the title again.
We have a massive job this summer to get things right regarding players in and out, but the signs are positive. We could of course end up with all the wrong choices, which will lead to some serious questions regarding FSG and Comolli. Time will tell, but for now I think they're doing a cracking good job tbh.
