Jordan Henderson (signed for Brentford)


Said there was little chance of him coming here. Not a good relationship between his party and the club.

If KS couldn't be arsed to contact him when we were in the EFL, there was little chance he was going to when we are in the PL, no matter how much of a no brainer people think the move would be.
He didn't want to come back to Sunderland full stop. Or North East generally. Was told from very reliable source. So am I surprised gone to London? No.
 
I would've wanted him here.

But I think he isn't because we couldn't guarentee game time (which tbf shows you the measure of the lad wanting it for the 2026 WC).

If he would've come without that he would be here imo.

Fair play to the club for sticking to their (young) guns that they made commitments to before Hendo became available.

No hard feeling from me, just a shame its to Brentford who I would hope would fall apart this season to allow us to overtake them

This season maybe, because of previous goings on, last summer he was very keen though. My source is very close to the coalface.
 
I advocated reasonable hard that Brentford wouldn’t capitulate after the loss of Frank and a couple of their better players. That there way of operating would see then still be very competitive in the PL.

But fck knows the question that was asked that spat out Henderson as the answer!

His biggest plus for us was his PL experience and leadership and although Brentford have lost their captain they are seasoned campaigners in the top flight. So what problem does he solve for them? I don’t know. Maybe his card tricks, as sarcastically suggested by Keane, are top draw.
