Jordan Henderson (signed for Brentford)


We’ve no one who has played PL football before. Or coached or manager there either. There’s five subs in the PL. It should be done. Obviously not if he’s asking silly money but I don’t think he will be.
Roberts, Poveda and Hjelde have played the the PL before
 
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 won’t be playing for a team challenging for the title. Would be our best signing of the summer
 
This thread is really winding me up. Say we have a wages pot of £400k per week to use on new players, are we happy giving say £50k of that to a 34 year old player that not one other PL team thinks is good enough and has no resale value. I'd hope people would say they'd prefer that money goes towards a younger and fitter player, who can stay and grow with the squad.

All this nonsense about 'getting us' is daft. Players don't need to 'get us', they just need to be good.
 
I don't think Leadbitter would have been a bad signing, if we had a team full of young lads like we do now but we had loads of plodders.
Agreed. I really liked Leadbitter. He would run through brick walls for SAFC, likewise Henderson would if he signed. Just pointing out it’s nothing like the Leadbitter signing due to tbe fact Henderson is far superior as a footballer.

He would want paying far less than that.

He has interest from other PL teams
 
Hell of a professional the young lads will look up to him. This transfer might even convince Jobe to stay as Jude and Hendo are decent mates.
If he were to come, I'd have thought it'd be to plug a Jobe-shaped gap to be honest. I wouldn't necessarily be against it if it buys us time to get a longer term replacement.
 
Doesn't fit the model but would suit us at this time, experience to guide the young group through with a touch of quality
Absolutely does fit the model ,Danny Batth , Cory Evans ,Alan Browne , it’s just the next level up , agree with the rest of your statement though
Think a lot of people look back on his time of the club with Rose tinted specs on. only played 23 times in total for us,.
Not true , 2010 season he played at least 35 games

You know the price of everything and the value of nothing :cry:
