Also I wouldn't call the Hendominator "uninspiring", I personally can't wait til Hendo gets back into the side as I think he'll give us a nice boost. I thought he was outstanding last season and could be a key component in a top four this season if we are so to achieve it.
As I said in my first post. I like hendo and Milner. Both are really good players. They've done or will do really well for us. Henderson is probably our best all round midfielder.
He at his best though, isn't anywhere near Gerrard mascherano alonso or hamann.
We've went from having probably one of he best midfields in the world to what we have now. It's just a long way off.
