Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

One has had a good career while the other has done it all while captaining the side to it's best period since the 80's.

He's went from being nearly pushed out the club to being their most successful captain since the likes of Dalglish had them winning everything.

I'd also point out that Xhaka wouldn't have got in the England 11 ahead of JH.

 

Well theres one ovbious reason for that... but I'd have taken him if he was english and I the manager

 

Can't argue with that.

 

If Hendo was 3 years younger this would be a very different conversation. But he isn’t!!

 

I'm going to bow out and let you all get back to the Albanian love in while I kiss goodnight my life-sized JH cardboard cutout.

 

So Xhaka winning 11 trophies to Jordan’s 8 is inferior?

Xhaka helping Leverkusen to their first ever Bundesliga, beating a great Bayern is not comparable to Jordan winning a single PL in the covid year with a Liverpool team that cost hundreds of millions to build?

And I’m sorry, the England part is just plain daft. Actually England were crying out for a player like Xhaka for several years, then Rice came along.

I love Jordan, but he won’t be remembered as an England great, not by any stretch.

Regardless of all these past things, which weigh towards Xhaka, the simple facts are Xhaka is younger, more mobile, more likely to positively balance the side, and without a question the better pick up for us in the here and now.

Jordan 3 years younger, I’d take.

 

It's all in the past though. Xhaka is streets and streets ahead of Henderson right now and that's what matters isn't it? On one hand you've got a pivotal piece of a team who won the Bundesliga and DFB Pokal and were runners up in both the Bundesliga and Europa League vs someone who went and played in Saudi for a few months, then was part of a terrible Ajax side in 23/24 (not his fault) and then played a big part in one of the biggest bottle jobs i've seen last season, putting in genuinely 0/10 performances in the final stretch of the season.

It's a no brainier.

 

Mines 2x life sized, i win. Its even scratch and sniff.

 

Can you please post them all one by one with the connected comments.
I’m not on X

 

Hendo has had the much better career mind.. I’m certain Xhaka had won nout worth talking about until the title in Germany because Arsenal have won **** all for ages!

But Xhaka is probably the much better signing. Still playing at an elite level for a very good team and a few years younger.

 

Hmm ya reckons that Talbi 7?hard to make out

 

Where’d you see that

 

2 FA cup
2 Swiss super league
1 Swiss cup
1 u17 Euros

**** all really.

We are talking about NOW, regardless, but there’d be a debate who was the better signing at any point in their careers.

If Hendo wasn’t from here, this frankly ridiculous debate about current day wouldn’t happen.

 

on his shorts on the Facebook posts. All the other players have their real numbers

might be temporary but it does happen to be a vacant number

 

Can’t tell if you’re taking the piss or not

 

yeh it does also look like Talbi is wearing 7

 

I mean they are significant trophies.

It’s all moot we are talking about now. The original debate was around ‘we didn’t sign Hendo’ now, not over the course of their careers.

I’d suggest the 2 FA Cup are ‘worth talking about’, or would we downplay it if we won one?

 

Yeah looks like #7 for Talbi

 

Suggests first choice right winger to me.

 

Agree. Henderson was always an athlete more than a footballer therefore as he ages and loses pace, acceleration and a general ability to get around the pitch he becomes pretty much null and void. Xhaka however is a technically very good footballer so will still be able to perform well as he ages especially with legs around him he could be like our deep lying quarter back.
