For a short 6 month DM backup till the end of the season, tell me another recent premier league winner and England International that'll come and do that job for us ? Normally I might have the same view of Henderson as you, but in this particular case , a short term backup, we could do much, much worse. We have a particular problem when Kamara is out, and we have seen The Donc doesnt quite cut it. Henderson is finished, it's the reason Liverpool shifted him out, legs aren't suitable for PL football any more, him still playing for England is pure Southgate being a clown 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As another poster put it, the fact that the scumbag in charge of our national side still picks him is a disgrace. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sne Posted January 8 Popular Post Share Posted January 8 Wouldn't want Henderson even if he was still a good player and signed for free on a minimal salary. Guy is the epitome of why the world looks like it does. He either faked his public persona to get brownie points and good press or he gave up his beliefs for a (admittedly huge) wad of cash. Pure scum. 16 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I looked him up. Can we sign him for his name alone? Utterly love it. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense for the homegrown quota. Why would we buy a player back 6 months after selling him, makes no sense whatsoever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I don’t know exactly know who we should look to sign, but I know it’s not Henderson. There’s no way Emery and his team would even consider it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top quality centre backs would be too physical for Moussa, he would be negated. Zaniolo should be able to handle the physical aspect of that role, be interesting to see if he could play there in Watkin's absence? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DakotaVilla Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 A hard no to Henderson. His decision will haunt him professionally and there will be a media circus at every game. We just don’t need the hassle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Zaniolo has a lot of the required qualities to his game, you could actually argue that he would make a better striker than winger. Strong, direct, cracking shot, strong on both feet, good in the air, makes surprisingly good runs. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 5. He’s still an U21 player so wouldn’t help us out HG wise even if we did bring him back, we’ll not at the moment anyway.

If Duran went for £20m+, then I think we’d move to the next level up in striker and not a sidewards move for somebody as raw as Duran. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italy manager thinks and says the same too… I really hope we see him more central and not on the wing so much… he has excellent technique too… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we'd get £20m for Duran, we signed him for £13m and he hasn't really done anything in the PL since. I also don't think we have much leeway with FFP to spend £30-40m net this January. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinebro Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I have no idiea how much FFP will allow us to do any business this January. Gut feeling is telling me we will do very little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just don’t need the hassle. If he goes anywhere it will be to Newcastle, they would find some way to get near to the salary demands that he would make, with a little help with their Saudi investors. Him and Phillips should offer them the pedestrian midfield they seem to be looking for (perhaps Southgate is giving Howe some helpful tips). I would have perhaps taken Henderson 3 or 4 years ago, but as has been said, he's way past his best now and wouldn't be worth the high wages he would anticipate getting.
