KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Henderson Done Deal - Ngog on the way out?

The general consensus is that we got a sweet deal right here especially with ngog going the other way. Henderson will be a very use addition and when he starts playing well he will be worth the money. He is very good at keeping the ball.

My worry is why we seem to be going after central midfielders like Adam even after this deal. It could be that we might be employing a diamond formation next season. I mean there is no way we would spend that kind of money and leave him on the bench.

lads we need to came down about the prices were paying for players because this is the market we live in today and if king kenny identify,s a player he wants and we get him even if we think its over priced we should be happy because firstly its shows we have money to spend and secondly were willing to spend it, so be happy were adding quality young players to our team because its looks alot rosier for the future.....

I'm not worried about the price we paid for Henderson. But I am questioning the rationale of going after Adam. It could be a smokescreen tho

We did just that

Last week Liverpoiol slapped a £7m price tag on David N'gog

With him going the other way and with us paying Sunderland £13m - that's £20m

Personally i don't think N'Gog is worth £7m but henderson isn't worth £20m either -not when Inter paid 15m Euros for Sneijder a couple of years back

Why has price become such an issue,players are expensive..where u been?

Up his own arse..........

n'gog is not worth 7 mill plus we bought him for 1.5

but £20m for a young attacking midfielder for a hot prospect whilst you can get a world class one for 15m euros

Van De Vart - not quite world class IMO but not far off - cost less than half of what Henderson has cost us

Henderson might well turn out to be a good addition to the squad but at £20m he seems massively overpriced and along with paying £36m for Andy Carrol, I can't see this doing us anything but harm as clubs with players we are interested in will do what they do whenever Man City and Chelsea come hunting - slap a masively unrealistic pricetag, knowing through past experience that we're still likely to pay it

As for Murphy's comment. There have been some idiots on this site in the past - but none as unnecessarily argumentative, arrogant without any reason to be so, and if I might say, up your own arse as you

Kenny is building for the future, a future that may (or may not) require more British players per club. If the FA are serious about improving the quality of the England squad they will need stronger reforms, so why not have the core of the England team playing together at Liverpool? It makes international breaks easier to manage for one thing, as most of your players are still together, instead of every man heading out in a different direction to deal differently with jetlag, foreign food, game significance, and even fixture date.

If he's interested in creating a mostly British squad with a touch of foreign flavour (rather than vice versa which is the current trend) then I think that's good for the club. He is sticking to players proven in the premier league as well, despite overinflated fees, because it's always better to pay 15m for a player you know will perform and who you suspect has an even brighter future, than a foreign player for 10m who could turn out to just be another in the long list of recent failures, and not just for footballing reasons (ask Mascherano).

If Sunderland are willing to pay that for him, then he obvious;y IS worth £7m. in'he?

Ask yerdelf. Was/is rat lad 2 t****s werth £35m?
Seemingly not judging by his rapidly waning performances, but if someone stumps up the lolly, then obviously yes.
