Best prospect I've seen in a lifetime & we folded like a pack of cards. We should have made them pay through the nose or told them to sling their ill-gotten hooks.

I'll take it you mean at Sunderland. ;)


Better than Bridges and Todd Stubber?


Dare I say Rowell, maybe even Elliot and Arnott :-D

Both Rowell and Bridges failed to meet their full potential due to injuries. They were certainly similar prospects to Henderson. Both, without such serious injuries, may well have played for England, even as many caps as Todd.
 
apparently he hasnt decided yet
COMOLLI ON NGOG

Just finally, how will this deal impact upon the future of David Ngog?


Sunderland have had a strong interest in David, so we've agreed to let David speak to Sunderland about his future to see if he's interested in going there. They've expressed a strong interest, so we'll see what's next for him.

Similar, or better?

I'd say in terms of natural ability and flair Bridges was way better than Henderson and Rowell had just about everything going for him, the lad could have played just about anywhere on the pitch and not looked out of place. A much underrated player in terms of his fame outside the NE.

Totally agreed. I remember when Villa were offering 500k for Rowell - massive amount in those days. But for absolute football talent the best was Brady.
 
From Caulkin:
Ngog latest: deal in place with #Lfc, but he's on hols in US & #SAFC happy not to rush him back. So not imminent, but he's keen to join.

N'Gog's agent also elsewhere. Medical & personal terms will be looked at on return, probably next week. Delay nothing to worry about. #SAFC

Brady was just a tanner ball player, not in Rowell's league.Rowell could pass long and short, head it, play anywhere in the front six, brave(before the injury), could beat a man,good finisher, and that wonderful ability to arrive in the box. Class

Don't really disagree. Brady had the natural talent to go to the top, but didn't. Certainly the most naturally skillful player I've seen playing for the lads but not the best.

Give him to September 2nd I say

He had just about everything. I remember seeing him in what must have been one of his first games for us, if not the first and you could see straight away he was going to be a cracker. IIRC he played his first few games for us at "Right Half".
