This is where our politics becomes the dividing line, I wholeheartedly disagree but that's life.
I think Henderson would be a good signing for the squad for all the reasons listed a bunch of times, but perhaps the biggest impact he would make is the subtle and unsaid political one. Sunderland and Hendo, a match made in heaven?
My cousin is Sunderland born and bred, she often gets to the match while I no longer do, she's also married to a woman and she really doesn't like him. No getting past that for me.
