Dan Neil will be better than Henderson


Will definitely play in the PL.

Whether he can go on and do what Henderson did is another question.

Has all the attributes and in the right team/under the right coach could be even better.
 
I believe he will keep improving as a player for a good few years. Plenty talent just somehow needs to bring it all together. Often comes to life in the later stages of games, bags of stamina. Thought he was absolutely outstanding against Leicester the other month. He's got it in him.
 
I like him and think he will play in the premier league, might even pick up a cap or 2 for England but haway. To match Henderson he will need about 80 England caps including captaincy a number of times. Play for and be the captain of one of the worlds biggest clubs. Win every major honour in club football and be the actual player of the season in the worlds best league.
 
Good fishing....but he is a talented lad who will play Premier League and has already created some memorable moments as a Massive Lads Fan.

Loved Jordan when he played for us, same as I do Neil now.

If Dan ends up being the size of his Dad he's still got a load of physical development to do yet. Playing wise he's got the same engine as Jordan, but he might be behind where he was at the same age. But he's got loads of potential. He's also got goals, on target for double figures from CM this season. Who was the last lads player to do that?
 
Fabulous player. Sky is the limit. Hopefully with us.
He looks a better prospect than Henderson at the same point in his career... but all of the evidence we have so far is 2nd and 3rd rate football. Henderson was in the premier league, and had to bide his time playing right midfield for a season or so til he was able to get a central slot.
Dury is out for now
 
Wondering where OP is drinking as the ale must be cheap.

He had already played for England, played for England u21s and captained them at a major competition and had I think 2 full premier league seasons under his belt at this age.

Henderson was already an England international
 
It was around his age that Henderson moved to Liverpool, for a fee in todays terms would be £40 mill plus. Neil is a cracking footballer and will certainly play in the premier league, the difference is that Henderson played over 70 games in the top flight by the same age.

True, although at 22 he was considered surplus to requirements at Liverpool. It wasn't all plain sailing and he had to move into a more defensive role to regain his momentum. Who knows, Neil being moved into a more attacking role could see him blossom in similar fashion.
 
Great goal but only his shooting let’s him down….(whispering today mind)
If you look back on the last few games Neil has got himself into great goal scoring positions .then hoofed it well over into the crowd .For F... sake he's a proffesional player what do you do all week if not practice this .

He's scored 4 this season. The 4 strikers + Pritchard + Roberts have scored none combined.

Obviously his shooting can improve but so could just about everyone in the team.

He will only improve.

I really do not think Neil will ever come up to Hendersons standard ,His (Neils) distibution and overall reading of the game falls well below Henderson.Yes he is a very good Championship player but that's all he has found his level .

There were three or four scouts up in the PC watching him at the Norwich game, they probably disagree he's maxed out now and only ever a championship player. Players develop at different rates, personally thinks he's got bags more to come
