KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Jordan Hendrson - worth ,,,,well, anything?

I have watched most of our games this year and have seen three flashes of brilliance from Henderson all season, apart from which I've seen nothing at all to explain his hefty price tag. In fact, I cringe when I see him start.

What am I missing, lads? There must be something, right?

Right?

Three?? You're being very generous!

Remember how we trashed Lucas lads????

He had a great season for Sunderland and they took a gamble on the fact he's young and british. The problem is the price tag but time will tell. I don't think he was brought in as a world beater from day one but he's been really dissapointing.

I think he has the ability, the bigger stage seems to have gotten to him in his first season. Hopefully he wont go anywhere and will be back-up centre mid next year.

How many of our players have been worth their price this year? It's a little unfair to single out Hendrson all the time.

As has been said, he wasn't bought as the finished article this season so try to be a little patient. We took a chance and there is still plenty of time for it to pay off. There were other big teams in for him and if we didn't get him and he turned into a class player (Ronaldo, Aguero, Ramsey, Walcott) you'd be moaning about that too!

Hendersen is meant to be Gerrard's protégée but I really can't see it at the moment. Hopefully he does a Lucas on us and starts improving gradually.

Henderson for 14/16m or hoilett, mclean,Redmond, for half the price

I hope hendo turns out to b a average player for lfc, in the next 15yrs.

henderson may not be good enough , but i think the issue that surrounds jordan is the money paid for him and dalglish plays him virtually every game

at RW=0

but at CM he is actually good, Kenny should realize some players are simply not versatile, play him only at CM or don't play him at all.

I think the lad will come good...The problem is when any club spend that kind of money on a player, fans want immediate results...which IMO is understandable. It does get very frustrating for me when you look at the amount of money paid for some of the players brought in recently, then you see alternatives from the likes of Spain, Germany...etc that are a fraction of the price and seem to be churning out good performances regularly.
But anyway i think he will become a good player for us, how good I don't know, none of us are mystic meg's! Its amazing how player development changes from player to player, he might start developing quickly and turn out to be an invaluable player for us, then again there has been plenty of young players out there that have had a lot of hype when younger, and not developed anything like people hoped they would. Im afraid time will tell!
