    Yeah i was speaking about it a bit before, think he really solid going forward and would be useful on the counter but defenisvely hasnt really filled me with much confidence this season:

    I do however think that its more of a style thing and that in the right system he could look decent as he reads the game quite well. Screams of a Le Bris suggestion as he was really good when Reggie was over there and likes a low cross and switch of play.

    Do seem to be targeting top end Ligue un players who aren't crucial to the squad. Like starting 20-25 games.

    Aye, but i fear he won't be as mobile, his physique worries me long term

    I think if he stays as stiff as he is, he'd be an amazing 6, personally

    Although.... Also Marseille and Monaco players linked? Surely that couldn't have anything to do with Sartoris and KLDs links.

    the sceptic in me thinks they’re the lazy connections people making up transfer rumours might play on

    With regards to Henderson - the club really do know best, whether he comes here or not i think they've proved they'll make a measured decision unlike us peasants (for the most part) reacting emotionally.

    I do wonder, with the mention of "Premier League" experience, if it is as invaluable as pure quality. For instance, talk of Barkley and Henderson, which is fair. But for instance, Henderson or say...the next Soucek, Baleba etc. You're taking the latter. Not that its an either/or situation.

    I for one hope we see Premier League players brought in via free/loan market. Gets value for money as long as wages are fair.

    BTW, I saw Timo Werner mentioned, any takers?

    Yep think that could play a part, but I also think there could be some credibility - certainly the right profiles.

    Quality trumps (sorry) for me but good players have failed here in England. Quality still needs guidance, leadership and organisation.

    Imagine it,

    the slow version of WMS starts on a video.

    Old pictures of the club, flashed with newer images

    Players.

    then a young hendo pops up.. rapid fire of his time at the club and what he’s done since,

    then, at the Sol, he’s sat in the Roker end, as the camera pans out saying he’s home

    I’d be happy enough with £15m considering contract situation

    Roma have been watching him for a few months but think that rumour was a couple months ago

    Same here tbh. Such a weird season for Neil, immense in some games but horrific in others. I was shocked at how much he struggled last week

    If Neil went i'd probably change my mind on bringing in Hendo. Would mean we need 2 DMs and Hendo can easily play second string.

    He had a 3 month period where I thought he was unreal, outside of that he was OK

    Talented lad though and I think he could step up, but needs to improve when he's pressed

    I think he would smash it in Italy tho

    I also think we already have a better version of him in ELF. Which is harsh. In my ideal scenario he signs a new contract because I want our local lads and academy players to stay. But if he wants a move then we shouldn’t and can’t really stand in his way.

    would be ironic essentially swapping Le Fee with Neil with Roma
