Jordan Henderson (signed for Brentford)


He's a free agent, he's already rich. If he wanted it to happen he could easily afford to lower his wage demands and make himself available to be a Sunderland player
Personally he might not have the legs for the premier league, but his experience in the dressing room and on the training pitch would surely be welcome
 
Read today he'll head to where he thinks he'll get the most football in the lead up to the World Cup next year. Not sure that would be us but I think he'd be just what we need in the dressing room.
If he came here he would walk into the team and stay there. I like our signings but they are not at JH level yet.
 
If that means people aren't making decisions for sentimental reasons then good.
Nah not sentimental but not understanding the value of having someone like henderson at the club. If they think they can just bring in loads from abroad and make it a success we have seen that before and it didnt work. Just end up with cliques all over and they dont understand the culture
 
Sadly this is when you can see theres no one with sunderland background at the senior side of the club.
The club have to make a decision and fans should trust them after the progress the club has made. I'd have Henderson but also happy to let the club decide. .

Loads of fans wanted Defoe back and he was a disaster. They theb wanted Mvila back about a year ago and he was awful at West brom.

Let the club do their job and not have meltdowns online.

Comparing this to mvila and defoe your missing the point and sadly so is speakman cutting off his nose to spite his face. Suppose Henderson must not be on the right "pathway"

It’s pretty much exactly the same except the fact the lads a Mackem

It’s still not Speakmans decision but even if it was the fact you’re slating him with all the work the clubs done in 4 years is funny

Oh also not sure if you know we have a new director of football

Nothing sentimental about a JH return. It would be an excellent move based on talent, experience and influence. I am absolutely against sentiment in every regard, especially holding on to players who got us promoted but won't cut it at the top level.
My only interest is seeing Sunderland AFC as an established top flight club. It's been a long time with many false dawns.
Jordan Henderson would contribute hugely to achieving this. It would be of immense mutual benefit and the club should go all out to secure his services.
 
I think the clubs earned our trust on these things.

Aye, I hope he does come back as I think he still has a lot to offer especially off the pitch, but if the club don’t think it’s a good deal for whatever reason, I think they’ve proven we need to trust them.
