Summer Transfer window

You’d have to be tempted by what he could be, just he looked so far away at West Ham.

I can’t decide on him (we aren’t linked anyway like)

 

We have to remember we playing Andorra.

I’m sure he can effortlessly outplay them.

 

We'll get to see how his legs are when England are under the cosh against the titans of Andorra then.

 

Signed when back from internationals

 

Yep, shame it’s not against decent opposition

 

I reckon we say **** that and get ahead of ourselves

 

Not fussed about him personally. Don’t particularly want him to sign

 

Apparently we have put a bid in for Modibo Sagnan CB for Montpellier 4.5 million euros

 

makes even more sense for us now imo

 

Connolly has never been at Evan’s level

 

Ok Henderson on a free I’m less worried about assuming he doesn’t take up most of our wage budget

 

The real issue with Henderson (other than the other real issue that has been extensively discussed) is his wages. Surely if he's coming to Sunderland to end his career he can't be expecting anywhere near his current wages of £100,000pw. Granted if he's only on a 1-2 year contract I suppose it doesn't make that much difference as long as its lower than his current wage.

 

Talk was he's willing to more than half it

 

the henderson and legs thing is massively over played

 

Let young Riggy and others do all the runnng. Henderson can organise and do all the pointing.

 

Sure scout said he’d heard 50k a week for Hendo

 

i just feel its incredibly disingenuous of folk and hypocritical to ignore links to Henderson on the argument on legs whilst simultaneously supporting a new deal for Neil. It's been well discussed here that we need pace, power, presence and physicality particularly in midfield and if you neglect Henderson on that basis i dont see how you can support double downing on Neil, who on the back of a 'poor' season overall in a lesser league than the prem, does not have pace, power, or physicality.

Believe Henderson would give us incredible aura in the dressing room and a level of calmness and reliability we will need. That and the fact with Ekwah most likely off and Samed off, jobe off, we've only got Neil, Le Fee and Rigg, so arguably need Henderson +1 at a minimum.

 

Henderson can absolutely still do a good job and would be massive leadership wise on the pitch.

 

Adding Henderson to Neil is my main issue. It's one or the other, if Neil goes then i'm more on board with Henderson, if Neil stays and Henderson arrives we can't really bring in another.
