13m plus N gog, now it seems to be us who are ripping teams off

But hopefully Ngog doesn't screw it up and accept the Sunderland move

Liverpool set to sign Jordan Henderson from Sunderland in £20 million deal

Liverpool’s shock and awe approach to the transfer market will lead the club lodge bids for both Blackpool captain Charlie Adam and Aston Villa winger Stewart Downing after completing a £20 million deal for Sunderland’s Jordan Henderson.


The Anfield side last night agreed terms with their Premier League rivals to make the 20-year-old midfielder Kenny Dalglish’s first signing since he was confirmed as Liverpool’s permanent manager, subject to a medical to be held today. The deal will see Liverpool pay £13 million and the £7 million-rated striker David N’Gog move to the Stadium of Light in part exchange.


With Henderson’s personal terms unlikely to pose a problem and days of informal negotiation with Sunderland at an end, Dalglish and Liverpool’s Director of Football Damien Comolli can now turn their focus on to other targets.


Liverpool are determined to conduct the majority of their transfer dealings before their squad reconvene at the club’s Melwood base for the start of pre-season training in early July and the club will waste no time in adding to the signing of Henderson, with Adam and Downing both viewed as priorities.


To secure Adam, the Anfield club are likely to be told to improve on the ultimately unsuccessful £7 million offer they lodged for the Scotland international in January, though Blackpool’s subsequent relegation weakens their negotiating position considerably.


Downing, meanwhile, is expected to cost around £10 million after admitting last week that he is “not sure” where his future lies. Dalglish believes the width the former Middlesbrough player, who has refused to extend his contract at Villa Park, could provide as crucial to eliciting the best from Andy Carroll.

And I know FIFA are p1cks, but Henderson was in their list for players to watch in 2011

well im a lot happier spending 13 on him than the quoted 20. how anyone can say ngog is worth 7 is beyond me. will be glad to see that waste of space gone

They should of thrown in Koncheskey

looks like slapping the £8m price tag on david n'gog's head has payed off for us here. kenny and commoli know how to do business. what a sweetener that is for us though. great to get rid of n'gog who despite his departure i still hope he has a good future at sunderland.

must admit i had my doubts over this transfer for the last few days cos i haven't seen much of henderson tbh. but looking at the amount of chances he created last season proves he's got some talent. i think he'll only improve at liverpool providing he gets enough football. in a few years time we could potentially have a real gem of a player and an england regular in midfield.

quite happy with this deal. just hope david n'gog is the first of many to be shown the door

quick question about jordan henderson. does anyone know when he'll be playing for the under 21s? i heard we play romania in a second leg match? is he away on international duty?

just wondering when he'l be able to complete his medical

um dont rate ngog at all, so seems like we have got the better end of it. we are heavy with central midfielders tho, will be interesting to see where gerrad plays next season, maybe back out on the right? thats if we dont get a proper winger for there.

Either we its overpriced, people are being jubilent and excited about a 13m + ngog but in reality Ngog can sell for 8m very easily to other clubs interested which is back to 20m one way or another, Am I happy about signing Hendersen? Why not he is a bright lad who seems to have talent, Am I happy about the price? Fck no...
