I wonder what the reaction would be on here if he was from France and we hadnt seen much of him but was linked and someone put that highlights reel up? We would probably be saying £25m is a bargain.

I dont think much of highlight reels. Certainly not to judge a player. But it gives a sense of the capability, if not the fallibilities. Dan has so much quality and I remain convinced he is the perfect modern day deep midfielder. Like every footballer, he has weaknesses, but in his case they are massively outweighed.

I grow increasingly worried he is away. I will be absolutely devasted. Folk who dont think sentimentality has a place in football may well be right. I choose to be sentimental as it brings me joy in the game. Dan is a pure joy footballer for me, I love him to bits. If he goes it will take some getting over for me. Not the first footballer to have moved me like he has, and wont be the last. Just hope it is overseas and not premier league, in Italy he would be absolutely idolised and a talent like his deserves that.

Would suit italy where you have lots of time on the ball and not really physical

I def don't want Neil to go but feels like he will go

Been really quiet on the contract front and everything I've heard is he isn't signing it. The club will have a deadline in mind and if it's not signed by then I could see him moving on

Could we sign better than him, of course but we could equally sign worse than him. There's something special with having academy lads in the team and while I think there's areas of his game that will likely get found out at the next level, I could also see him improving in these

I want him to stay but my gut feeling is he will be away

If he leaves its his decision not the clubs. Hope people remember that

Now you're getting it, would you say a signing like Hendo, who is maybe past his best but a local lad with strong Sunderland connections, would endear the supporters to the club even further?

Making big decisions with heart over head is not how clubs at the elite level should operate.

Making key decisions based on how happy it would make the fans even if it doesnt make sense, again is not what should be happening.

We did it once with Defoe and it was a mistake.

We nearly did it again with reappointing Keane (something I wanted tbf) but in hindsight, Neil was a far better appointment at that time.

The club are sticking to the strategy that has been successful and what they think will progress us further. Henderson doesnt fit this and that's why he isnt here. Fully in agreement with the club on this one.
