Players still need to be able to contribute on the pitch, the issue with Henderson is his wages would have been too high for someone who likely wouldn't have started many games

If RLB doesn't think he fits into his team/system then there's zero point in signing a player just because they are good in the dressing room

If RLB doesn’t think he fits then that’s more than enough reason not to sign him I totally agree.. but if he was open to the idea I can’t see how having that much experience around these lads would’ve been a bad thing. I do hope we get some experience in now though, a bit younger but who can play 90 mins every week. Seasoned CB would be a massive plus imo just no idea who.

What we want and we we need are never the same,

just because you want a player doesnt mean the club feels the same.

so far happy with what we have brought in,
few more additons and we will be fine

Its rare we make 5 signings in a row (6 if you include ELF) that are universally liked by a fanbase.

We often do make a bit of a surprising "eh?" type signing. See Poveda. I hope we avoid one this summer but it stands to reason at some point this summer we will sign somebody that isn't as popular with fans.

Not for me. I just feel we have to always do what's best for us and just signing a player because he is a Sunderland lad doesn't do it for me

I also think Brentford is probably a better move for him tbh so will help him more with his England chances

If we sign either of these 3 (Arokodare, Ivanovic and David) it'll be 7/7 for me

I def want some experience in the squad as well, as long as players that fit our playing style

I also want some british lads signed as well

Interesting Keith said Sadiki and Diarra were at the SOL earlier in the week. Maybe it wasn't Diarra.

We do have Reinildo now as well. Obviously not as experienced as Hendo but still brings experience in France (including in a title-winning Lille side) and Spain. I would like an older English player as well. Feel it would round out the leadership structure well.
