Good price

wouldn’t sign a contract when the clubs future next season was undetermined

form for 66% of the seasons was inexcusably poor

tempo in Italy might suit him

We have to be ruthless, no place for sentimentality, we can do better.
 
I'd be gutted to lose Neil. Get his contract sorted.

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

Don't disagree with your perception of his performances - worth bearing in mind his age though. We see him as a senior pro but he's still only 23. He's still 4 or 5 years away from his prime. Loads of room to develop into a top player.

I think that’s a high number mind I’d go 30% poor this year and class for about 10 games. The last bit was probably overuse so a definite excuse and some solid defensive cover throughout. Agree on some points though. I have a worry about his pace a league up though when adjusted I can see him being a premier league player. I’m torn in some ways but ultimately I’d want a better starter in the cdm role and maybe want him competing for the 8.

Nope get absolutely dominated. In the championship he had about 2-3 months then just fell to bits. I think he would get swamped. Probably be good in Italy.
That’s my feeling. Think he’d get targeted because he likes time. RLB has him doing much better with defensive cover but we would need to keep the ball and I think he’d lose too much of it.
 
Feel watching the CL final shows how important it is to have legs in the team

Obviously we aren't going to play like them but need energy in the team
Still going to play teams close to their level. I think half the league has what I would class as an elite 10, Wirtz, Palmer, MGW, Rogers, Eze, Bruno F (if he stays) and more would all make mincemeat out of Henderson.

That's before you look at teams who don't play with a 10 like the mags with all their midfield power.

He hasn’t got the athleticism or pace to play in the premiership in my opinion, very good technical player but not quite elite and will get dominated too much in my opinion
 
I think Nixons info is outdated

Alan Nixon...I wont believe anything he says until it's confirmed by the club. It's been well known for a while they were watching him.

Also think he'd be class in Italy with the style of play.
