I also don't think henderson should be written off just yet...I know many don't like him and don't see what he brings to the team but he has been influentil in the past month or so...Perhaps he could come good.
Don't forget that not long ago, everyone was complaining about how bad Lucas was, but look at the lad now, future captain perhaps...
Give Hendo a fair shot...
Sign Reus

the point is too see ahead and not right now. Comoli states after 3yrs the players bought would come good.
Henderson has shown alot of promise this year as he has had to learn to improve his game and not be so negative. He has changed two games because of his energy when coming on, Wigan and West Ham and won one Udinese. If he continues to progress over the the rest of the season he could become a good asset to the club.
Not ready to write him off yet.
the others I totally agree with you. You don't pay that sum of money (20M) for a player that will come good in 3 years.

in defense of Comoli there are many players who have moved on in recent years and failed to deliver. Walcott, Chamberlain,Wickham were all 10mil+ and alot younger. United spent 36mil on Anderson and Nani and both are still fringe players.
The problem is that we needed if not all our signings then most of them to be succeses last summer, in fact we have been left with none in the first team until Enrique in the last month.

I was under the impression 20M was paid for him, 12 rising to 16 is slightly more exceptable but still believe could have been spent a lot more wisely - thats why I made the comment I'm glad he is gone. My main problem was with the Carroll purchase anyway paying 35M for someone we'd be lucky to get 8M for now.

Chamberlain is making his mark, he just has got injured recently. Walcott, although inconsistent at times, has proven to be worth the outlay. Nani and Anderson are both current squad players but have been 1st teamers at several points and have won plenty to suggest they were good buys, Nani moreso than Anderson probably. Wickham is the only one of the players you have mentioned who so far has failed to live up to his billing

Agreed, it's a difficult job. We were at the stage where we did need the majority to fit in immediately and that just didn't happen, like you say only Enrique is getting first team football regularly. It's more dissappointing than anything

Suarez and Enrique have turned out to be succesful. Coates and Henderson have shown potential although I think Coates lack of pace might be a stumbling block for him but time will tell. Downing, Adam and Carroll were all bought to make immediate impact and we will more than likely see the back of all 3 by next summer.
The policy of buying young players with potential is correct in our position where we can't afford to compete with the biggest teams when those players reach their potential but the idea to buy British only was madness

Wickham is the only one of the players you have mentioned who so far has failed to live up to his billing listen I am offering a defense for Comoli but do not think he did a good job. Nani and Anderson for their fees have been failures, Nani has had one decent season in 4 and now bombed out Anderson nothing - the team won the honours but not with these guys. Henderson was in two cup finals in his first season is he not a success also? If we can offer Chamberlain, Walcott patience why not Henderson?
