Jordan Henderson (signed for Brentford)

[Vauxie]

Get him

 

[Mowgli]

I can see this happening on the last day of the transfer window if we can’t get in our 3rd or 4th midfield choices.

Let’s be honest, his legs had gone during the last season he was at Liverpool, and I’m quite sure he won’t have improved since.

He will want his move sorted soon

 

[dancingradio]

Get it done

 

[halfpast3]

No contracts signed as yet,this time next year they leave for free.

I know but we were promoted 4 days ago. If they are willing to sign new deals then no way the clubs sells them

Well we will soon see,if they sign fine, if not .................

 

[stan the man]

The perfect signing to be honest. Get this done early, continue the buzz about the place and set us up nicely for the rest of the summer. Absolute no brainer personally, one of our weakest areas this year has been ball retention and he's been one of the best in the world at it over the last decade. Incredible value off the pitch too

Thomas Tuchel has also mentioned his value to England off the pitch.

 

[Keawyeds]

TBF next season is about survival… build year 2

Fair point. And a bonus point for you for a tremendous username.

 

[Sollentuna15]

Would be disappointing if he/we couldn’t agree a decent 2 year deal for him. Surely he would be understanding with his wage demands and he would be a good fit for what we need next season both on and off the pitch.

 

[Ruleigan]

He's made his money and his legacy, what better way to finish up than helping your first club that's been through hard times stay up?

He'd be worth it for off the pitch alone. Maybe get him coaching as well.

 

[dangermows]

Tremenderson.

 

[timeforheroes1]

if the finances stack up its a no brainer. just have to look at what tuchel said about him setting the standards around the camp and in every training session to see it would be exactly what the young lads needed in what is going to be a baptism of fire for them

 

[Hawyatt Earp]

Player/coach, experience would be vital, even if he rarely starts..

 

[the earl percy]

STOP! You are a lone negative voice

Look here I'm entitled to a opinion ,you are not entitled to tell me to stop

And existing English International
He’s the modern day Steve Bould. Keep us up for one season is all we need


Don’t get the logic of your opinion at all
The only reason he would come back to Sunderland is because he has earned so much he can afford to.


Again irrational logic.
We would not be buying him from the Saudis, Saudis would not be paying him, he is not Saudi.
Newcastle are owned by the Saudi state, its direct involvement.
On the basis of your argument you would not put petrol in your car.
Now if you dislike anyone who has worked in Saudi that’s your choice but it’s got bugger all to do with comparing Sunderland values to Newcastles.

I'm comparing Hendersons values to the skunks slightly different I'd say

 

[Pacific]

it's a bit of a no brainer really. as much as youth has brought us this far we need some experienced heads in the group next season. nothing daft like the journeyman galore of previous years but Henderson - who's still playing for England, would be a very good signing. and you'd think it's realistic as if he was ever planning to return it's now or never

 

[Jasper]

Can't believe people think the Ajax captain and England player wouldn't get games for us

 

[MSC]

Can't believe people think the Ajax captain and England player wouldn't get games for us

That sort of edges it for me too as well. Never mind the other positive impacts.
No brainer if it's a possibility.

 

[nelford_safc]

Would anybody not be worried that it’s there of signing and wage structure that ended in us going down to league one?

Youth is our approach now and he’d probably cost too much to be a rotation player. Obviously he walks into our side right now mind.

Before anyone moans I’m not saying I wouldn’t have him.

 

[Safc1987]

He’s been put back in England frame so playing in the premier league you’d think would be his preferred choice

 

[HoxtonMackem]

Makes sense all around.

As mentioned in this thread already - a 1 year contract with option for a coaching role thereafter of some kind would be tremendous.

Getting him confirmed as the first signing would be a real statement of intent, and would rocket up season ticket sales and feel good factor.

I trust the owners and all the evidence suggests they won't offer silly money. Of he signs then it's because he's fit into the structure.
