As much as I rate Henderson as a player I still can’t get past his move to Saudi. I know it’s been said that any one of us would do the same thing and that may well be correct. But I just struggle with his very blatant hypocrisy. Sad really as I would have loved to have seen him end his career in a Sunderland shirt. As already said, that ship has sailed.
 
Not now. Summer gone I would have seen yes. But seeing Rigg make the shirt his own, and Henderson looking an old man for Ajax, I cant see him getting in the side. Blocking th pathway for Aleksic, Watson and others isnt what we need.
 
No. Even putting aside his hypocrisy going to Saudi, if he's not getting game time in Holland, what makes him think he's going to be cut out for regular game time in the championship? The championship is a competitive, physically demanding league, where games come thick and fast. If he's looking like an old man in a slower, more technical, less physical league, what's he going to like here after a couple of months?
And that's not considering him potentially blocking the development of the likes of Rigg, Jobe, Aleksic or other young players by taking up a squad place and limiting their opportunities.
