Jordan Henderson (signed for Brentford)

[Dan The Man]

He’s got the players around him to do the leg work if people are worried about his legs

I just hope this isn't the equivalent of Leadbitter in League 1.

Ultimate professional, looks after himself, but you can't get away from his age.

Good player for the dressing room, if his legs haven't gone.

Leadbitter was never a world class champions league winning player and captain though.

İf he "cared" then salary shouldn't be a massive issue to overcome.

Agree -he’s a multi millionaire surely ( I kna ) but he’s still not going to get poorly paid here

This.

We'd not be relying on his legs. It would be his vision on/off ball and leadership qualities and impact on younger players on and off pitch we'd be getting, in spades.

 

[Big Bellyingham]

Must be Henderson or Adingra who that journalist was referring to... fingers crossed, could be a great week!

Do Brighton fans rate that Adingra ?-seems a very mixed bag on their forum

Also that type of signing that may influence one or two others -been there and won it

I hope neither

 

[ClassicDom]

We didn’t sign him in January 24, so I can’t see us signing him now.

 

[SAFC Wilks]

I hope neither

You don’t want Adingra?

 

[Skylon]

No

 

[SAFC Wilks]

No

Baffled at that mind. Very good winger for us to get imo.

 

[Big Bellyingham]

Looks like he’s “ just “ become a free agent according to Romano -maybe we couldn’t sign him earlier but had verbal in place ( mind I this could be absolute bollocks as I kna nowt and have put two and two together and come up with ….!)

 

[Dan The Man]

We’d still pay him around £70k if not a bit more if there’s no transfer fee

Players like Henderson have a longer career because they can predict where they need to be on a pitch, rather than running to catch up. Sheringham was the same, so was Shearer to be fair to the horrible twat.

No

Shame

Yep, Modric, Maldini etc too. Modric is nearly 40 ffs and sineing for Milan

So we'd be playing with 10.5 men

Nope 11, his experience and vision will make up for his lack of ‘legs’

BHH

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

If wages aren’t an issue, it seems like a very obvious move for both parties

I'm not convinced that's a given in the modern Premier League. It was alright 15–20 years ago when the game was much slower, but it only gets you so far now. That's why very few PL teams sign players of this age anymore. It rarely works out on the pitch and they have the data to back it up.

I would like to see him back at the club in some capacity, but I would be concerned about him playing even in a holding role, given that players still need to cover a lot of distance these days.
