Absolutely spot on Geo. Henricksen ticked all the boxes. To me he was the ideal player to bring in and could become increasingly valuable in the years ahead. What are we thinking??? Just hope the YP has got the wrong end of the stick here and the Norwegian/Danish press are right. Would hate to see him playing against us.
Maybe he's crap.
 
Peter...that's what the word "ongoing" in my post which you quote means. Are you posting just for the sake of posting. You seem to be quibbling with a lot of posters on here. Not like you. :emoticon-0100-smile
I was emphasising that the striker position is a weakness. I was surprised that people were saying that Jordan Rhodes wasn't good enough for us. I've not seen anybody else available to us who's better since Gray. Sorry if I upset you.

For to long we've lacked a midfielder(s) who want to get upto or past our forwards and we need that more when we play 1 upfront.

Some sites reckon we're after Jordan Ayew at Villa?
 
The Yorkshire Post can't even get his name right!
The Norwegian international was seen as a back-up option in case Hernandez left but Villa, after being rebuffed in their attempts to lure away Hull’s one-time club record £10m signing, have turned to Bristol City’s Jonathan Kodjia in a deal that will see Roberto Martinez’s men pay an initial £11m for the striker.

And when did Roberto Martinez go to Villa ? Missed that one,

sorry if this has been discussed are we still going ahead with the deal for Henricksen, been off line most of the day down in Derbyshire cheers <cheers>
It's a bit touch and go. Sources here saying the deal is off, sources in Norway/Holland are saying he's all but signed. As clear as mud.

I think they were messed up by predictive text. Doesn't somebody read before publishing? No.
 
Be gutted if Henriksen doesn't join, though reports the Dutch end still seem pretty certain he is heading our way. Been linked with both Milan clubs, and Spurs as well as Anderlecht recently so will only go up in value, gets forward, works hard and scores goals.....what's not to like?
For me, we still need a midfielder with a goal threat, another striker, and cover down the flanks (whether that be a right back allowing Elmo forward, or someone with versatility to cover either flank.

I can't believe it when the reporter at the training ground says Ehab Allam has been working hard to make these signings happen! Love to
Know what the score is with him? Is he spending the newbies money and are they trusting him to get the best deals? Somethings not sitting right with me! Great to see though! Any thoughts?

We needed a Gray type player - pace, gets in behind and forces defences to sit deep.

Rhodes is immobile, doesn't run much, slow but has a great finish on him. Exactly the type of player we don't need....in my opinion (Good Wife quote)
