Jordan Henderson

[the veteran]

Imo he's still got something to offer England...all be it from the bench..

To me
He always seems like an easy target for the people who don't understand football and should just start watching rugby or summit

 

[Dubai Si]

Injury permitting, Bellingham will beat that. First euros he was 17.

You have to qualify first.

Shame that flag debacle undid all his good work.

Peter Shilton has plenty of "tournament experience" let's pick him as well , I know he won't get a game but be good to have him around the camp .
Henderson has had his day so let someone else get the chance , think I'd rather have Gallagher and he's shit.

England have a very young squad. Henderson’s experience will be huge at a tournament.

Would have thought Sunderland fans of all people would know about the need for an experienced head in the team for the youngsters.

I don't agree with this.

At international level you're already (supposedly) a good player. There is enough experience in that squad already.

It doesn't mirror our situation at all - some of ours literally can't pass a ball to a team mate they're that raw/ don't speak the language.

They all have enough experience already though. If they need Henderson's experience, take him as the waterboy.

 

[DieselBert]

I'd still have him back here in a heartbeat.

There are many that wouldn’t, he sullied his reputation with his shallow unethical move to Saudi Arabia, I’m not one for politics in sport, but I think I echo the general feeling amongst fans on this one.

A midfield of Mainoo and Bellingham certainly lacks experience.

 

[Jonny]

I still hope he comes here next season.
Have no idea what deal he is on at Ajax but he would be ideal for us.

 

[FlashGordon]

Henderson should clearly be in the England squad for me. That kind of experience can be crucial. I wouldn't expect him starting really at this point, but he could be key coming off the bench. His leadership skills are hugely important for the squad.

 

[Dublin Mackem]

Meh
If you believe that you will believe owt
I still find it funny that he fucked off for the money, and didn’t even make the money

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

@Dublin Mackem he backloaded his salary to avoid a tax bill. He will of course have been paid, but he didn’t make the mega riches

 

[Boris Bear]

Hope he goes.

He has had a Roy of The Rovers career and is one of our own.

All the wailing about him going to Saudi and pocketing £14m was disingenuous virtue signaling that would never have happened if Saudi hadn’t bought the mags

If it was the Italian squad they’d have 4 or 5 like Henderson in there. We should learn from their success

 

[SAFC11]

Haven't seen him play for ajax, ultimately should depend on his form. Not sure he actually has that much in the bank this season though

 

[Geppetto]

A midfield of Mainoo and Bellingham certainly lacks experience.

But I'f have both in the side ahead of a leggy Henderson.

Certain games and certain scenarios suit different players.

Henderson is a great player to have available to be called upon.

 

[boomer]

Shouldnt be anywhere near the euros squad.

England?

You mean like their success of not qualifying for either the 2018 or 2022 World Cups?
