Not for me. For a few reasons really. Firstly, Saudi. Secondly, he looks really poor and leggy. Thirdly, we don't need to be blocking pathways anymore, our midfield is in good shape, another body in there will disrupt the balance. Shame really as a few years ago I held him in unbelievably high regard.
Already filled that spot with Browne and he would be on top wage with no guarantee of game time. Said in past id love him back here but time isn’t right. I do think he’ll be a quality coach if he goes down that route. Gaffer in 5 years with LON as number 2?
If it was last season when he left Saudi, I would've said yes but as others have said, we've got a good set up at the minute with young rising players such as Rigg and Jobe, Dan Neil behind them (for me anyways) then the new lads still to play in midfield. Plus if he can't get a game for Ajax with the level they are at in the Eredivisie, he'll struggle at Sunderland
I can't remember ever being so disappointed with a Sunderland player. Some players have let us down, such as Bent, but they're not 'one of us' so don't matter. Henderson is a local lad who knew how people felt about the Saudis but took the money anyway. There were dozens of clubs he could've gone to but greed, above ambition, was the deciding factor. That's exactly the kind of influence we should do everything we can to keep away from SAFC. Henderson's life will now be an empty sharade where he'll be welcome nowhere. I wouldn't have him back at Sunderland if he wanted to work for nothing.
What a wonderful feeling that we’re thinking 'no' to an ( albeit ex) England captain because he’d have trouble getting in the side before a 17 yr old.
