Helmer came on in the arsenal gane. I’m sure of this as I was a big follower of German football.

You're right. He played forcus Leeds, I was at the game. Class act.

Same game Bowyer did a dive and got Alex Rae sent off and gave Peter Reid verbals.

We were in the sponsors hospitality. After the game Bowyer and Radebe were doing the pressing hands bit. Reidy came in ( looking for his brother ) , Bowyer saw him and legged it sharpish! Bowyer passed our table and literally looked terrified, obviously thought Reidy was after him.

You just need to read the thread about when Henderson first went to Saudi and how many people posted that he shouldn’t be associated with the club again, and now some of them are saying it’s a no brainer to sign him :lol:

I wasn’t too arsed about him coming back originally but now I think he’s what we need. Need some experience in the middle but need another couple of centre mids on top of that.

Dutch journalist quoted in this morning's Sunday Times eulogising about Henderson’s impact at Ajax this season.

“Henderson was key to Ajax’s Eredivisie resurgence before they were pipped to to the title by PSV. His best games were against PSV and Feyenoord in the league. He was extremely important in the comeback season of Ajax for his defensive role and his dominance of the ball. His greatest attribute has been his leadership and creating a professional culture”.

Exactly what we need

Could he come in as a player & be part off the coaching team as well

Has zero experience as a coach. He will be useful to the squad in terms of experience and on the field where he has a proven track record. Not sure if he’s doing his badges or whether he even wants to coach so let’s staff the coaching setup with experienced coaches. I’d like him as a player/experienced head in the team next season. If he wants to coach it should be a low priority for us.

Blows my mind people were having a pop at posters who called it out as a lifting signing and that he turned up in that condition.

....and is no nearer to starting for the first 11 than he was then.

He was a great signing on paper.

Sadly he's not so good on grass

Almost like no one bothered to watch him (on grass) or put him on scales, or get him on a treadmill or even just get him to jog to Cleadon Village and back :lol:
The mind boggles.

Weird, because most of our recruitment is incredibly precise, but we seemed to miss the fact that he was a couple of clem over weight
