    Not just some, most to be honest.

    Play him in the AM role with Gerrard and Lucas in CM.

    Would be a gun midfield for you tbh. Would be a much better signing than Jordan Henderson, at just a fraction of the cost.

    Henderson is for the future, nothing wrong with his signing.

    How old is Henderson now? £20 Mill for a future player, versus £7mill for a 22(?) year old who is the present and future? Think I know what is much better value and much more worth it.

    Fucking yes, guessed his age bang on! Reading signed him 10 years ago this year. Or last year after September.

    Henderson was £13m with £3m add ons...

    And all I said was that nothing was wrong with the Henderson transfer, I wasn't even comparing both players, you were the one who randomly decided to try and compare both players...

    Henderson has performed well in CM and has a bright future no matter who we sign this summer.

    Ah right.

    I still think it wasn't the greatest bit of dealing tbh. Should have got him for less. Especially when you can get players like Sigurdsson.

    LIverpool fans always quote the Henderson fee as much lower than anywhere else

    It's pointless buying them then, if you can get better players at a cheaper price tbh :p so understandable why clubs go for foreign players.

  13. Eds E Ames

    Or non-Liverpool fans just quote it much higher than it actually was?

    We are paying for potential and English players always cost more, even though most of the time you can get better value aboard.

    I like Henderson and believe he's got a bright future, as long as if he plays CM.

    I didn't make any reference to what the actual price was

    Henderson was one of the best young midfielders last season/Sunderland season, if he had been played in CM this season he would of been great, nothing wrong with the price of the Henderson one IMO

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...-agree-transfer-fee-for-Jordan-Henderson.html - Region of £20m
    http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...d-by-huge-liverpool-transfer-fee-2297000.html - Region of £16m
    http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/jun/13/jordan-henderson-liverpool - £20m
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/13685517 - £20m
    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2001741/Jordan-Henderson-signs-Liverpool.html - £20m
    http://www.soccerbase.com/teams/team.sd?team_id=1563&teamTabs=transfers - £16m

    It's almost always reported as £16-20m yet 'Pool fans I know insist it's 13m.

    Well what are your sources then? Seeing as they're much more reputable than Sky's.
