Dan Neil will be better than Henderson


Fabulous player. Sky is the limit. Hopefully with us.
I'm a massive Neil fan but you do him no favours making claims like this.
Let's wait until he has had a couple of seasons in the Premiership before making such claims .
 
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
Not really my point tbh. He’s technically better than what Henderson was.
 
I don’t know whether Neil will reach the heights Henderson did more likely not.
However he’s a superb young player and it’s astonishing that some on here had him down as a load of shite just a couple of months ago.

Some still do. It's mad the expectations some have of midfield players despite probably not having seen many of those expectations in a SAFC shirt in their lifetimes.

Let's not forget there was a lot of criticism of the man Neil is being compared to on here because he apparently didn't tackle/score goals and apparently all he did was pass the ball on.

In some situations he is - Neil's got a bit of magic about him at times. But Henderson was very good at receiving the ball and keeping possesion / play moving and rarely got caught on the ball like Neil has a tendency too, at a different level too.

Don’t remember him dropping as deep as Neil tbh
 
He’s a great footballer, he’s a a local lad which is a bonus club & means a lot to him seriously what is not to like here? Beyond baffling that people have a go at local lads doin well, was the same with Micky Gray 🤷🏻‍♂️
