I wouldn't say that adds anything to his value. Liverpool are a 2nd tier club and England are a 3rd tier country - being a regular for both isn't the same as being a regular for a CL side and a top 6 country.

Of the 2, I would actually say Lallana is better. This season I would give them both a 1 out of 10 but last year Lallana looked excellent - maybe not a £26m player but still very useful. Henderson looked like the bog-standard midfielder that he is.

Bit Like Luis Suarez didn't do, just 7 months earlier before he gave it toes to Barca then ey?

Wow

Lallana is bang average, he is a luxury player but doesn't get his head up at all, he's too busy doing numerous Cruyff turns! Henderson has a really good range of passing as proved by countless assists this season.

It easy to look like a world beater for Southampton or a club where the expectation isn't as high as Liverpool, Lallana was never ever going to be worth the money and I think Henderson has more than shown enough to warrant his transfer fee!

For me Lally has been the most disappointing signing of the summer,in terms of what i expected.

Completely different, Suarez had been angling for a move for a year and had always wanted to play for Barcelona. He also had a world class season and was widely regarded as being in the top 3 players in the world. That's why he got his move.

I don't get what so many people see when watching Henderson. How so many think he's this average player, not a leader etc.

Henderson is one of our top players in our squad and easily the best option for captaincy in my view. He scores crucial goals, he has excellent vision as proven by his assists record and he improves year on year. Jordan is a one-two touch player. He's very intelligent and has quick vision to look at all his options before the ball reaches his feet and knows instantly what he will do. He seldom forfeits possession and quite frequently picks out a defence splitting pass, creating fantastic goal scoring chances.
No, you won't often see Jordan dribble past 1 or 2 defenders but he is all action and his work rate causes mistakes in opposition players game, often winning back possession for us. He will always give his all for the club.
I get disappointed when I see him lining up alongside Gerrard as it seems Henderson has "too much" respect for Steven (and rightly so) and won't play his usual game.
With Steven leaving at the end of this season, Jordan's game will just improve again and I personally believe that he and Coutinho should be the first two names on our team sheet and both definitely don't need replacing.

Fabregas is better by a long way and Ramsay maybe slightly but I'm not overly convinced!

Yaya Toure is on the way out, his performances for City this season have been very poor and I don't think he'll be there next season.

It's too early too judge Herrera, he has only recently established himself in Utd's first team.

Overall your being harsh on Henderson in my opinion.

Lallana was always gonna be a bad signing, he had a good season at Southampton when he was their main man and everything went through him but anyone with even half a football brain was saying what a bad signing that was. I wouldn't have bought Lallana for 15 million let alone 25.

Henderson looks like a 15 million pound player and that's about what we paid. So that's a decent buy. The fact that he's captain shows the derth of quality in the first 11 though. Henderson has never taken a game by the scruff of the neck and changed it for us, if we have the ball he contributes well. His passing is also getting better.

Lallana is only effective when we are already heavily on top. Completely ineffectual 90% of the time and nearly always chooses the wrong decision. Terrible signing.

Have to say I'm really disappointed with Lallana, I thought he'd turned a bit of a corner in the new year, having had a rib? injury for the 1st half of the season.
But I still think theres a decent player in there somewhere, albeit not one that cost us 25m.
