He played many games in sunderland at right wing and his crossing is very good. He is james milner kinda player.

Not really. Milner played on the wing and moved into the centre. Henderson position has always been in the centre but got moved out on the wing cause needs must. He doesnt have the pace out there.

I think he has always been in the centre, certinaly never seen him play on the right for Sunderland and I watch alot of premierleague games other than liverpools games. I think people have seen him drift to the right in middle games once or twice and think he can play there, I think he is a central midfielder and thats his only position.
As for Downings 15m bid which has been rejected by Villa, I hope it works right for us and we go for Mata instead. Villa are being greedy by asking more than that considering they sold Ashley Young who is a superior player to Downing for that same price.

i,d love if we turned our attention to mata but i dont it will happen because i think were gonna include joe cole or ngoo in the deal for downing and it probably appeal more to the club because they would get rid of at least one of their dead wood on ridiculous wages .....

Mata is an awesome player but i doubt he can adapt as fast as Suarez. As for Downing, the plus point is, he is sure to kick the ball and start running for us immediately.

Downing will be a good buy. It will be for more than most think he is worth but thats just how football is now. He has EPL experience and is young enough to last a good few years. He's also better than people give him credit for. People say we need a winger that is a good crosser to supply Carrol and that is what Downing is. From all i've heard of Mata, he likes to come inside which means no crosses for Carrol.

And as for Henderson, can we all reserve judgement until he has actually kicked a ball in a red shirt?

He has 100% played games on the right for Sunderland I know that for a fact. But his best position is undoubtedly in the middle.

From all i've heard of Mata, he likes to come inside which means no crosses for Carrol. I actually find this argument of Carroll needs a crosser bizare. We all know he can head a ball but hell so can Kuyt and Suarez but does that mean the only possible way for those guys to score is through their heads? Good service doesn't necessarily mean crossing. Hendersen and Gerrard as well as our other creative midfielders such as Aqua and Meireles will be pivotal in supplying those lads. Carroll does not need a crosser and I would certainly settle for Mata instead. Downing is a good player am not saying hes bad but his price raises many eyebrows.

Fantastic reply Snakeeye, I couldn't agree with you more on this topic.
