TOTTENHAM PLAN £25M HENDERSON BID
Tottenham are planning a £25million bid for Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson, according to *** *** on Sunday.
Liverpool do not want to sell the midfielder, the newspaper says, but Spurs are likely to be in the Champions League next season and believe they have a real chance of tempting the 25-year-old to London.
The Spurs hierarchy apparently fear Mauricio Pochettino will attract interest in the summer and so want to make a statement of intent in the transfer market to convince the Argentine to continue his good work at White Hart Lane.
Henderson, however, has four years remaining on his £100,000 a week contract at Liverpool, meaning he may have to force a move if Spurs’ approach is knocked back.http://www.teamtalk.com/news/paper-talk-henderson-courtois-wilshere-wanted Saw this on BBC gossip earlier. Not sure it's true but a swap involving Ali would work for me. I would take 25m for Henderson. Some fans are still attached to Henderson because he's a "fighter" and "hard worker". But that doesn't cut it out for me.

I'd take it, but only if we had a suitable/better replacement lines up to spend the money on. I'd also try to push them for closer to 30m, or as was suggested, get Alli in the deal

I very much doubt Dele Alli will be going anywhere, he's one of the best prospects in English football and if I were Tottenham I'd be hanging onto him at all costs.

I'd also try to push them for closer to 30m, or as was suggested, get Alli in the deal That's the crux of this, players will only be going if a better replacement comes in, we do not have a big enough first team squad to let people leave without a replacement. So Matip coming in means Tore can go, Grujic will replace either Lucas or Allen, probably Lucas as he is older, depends who gets a bid. I'm still not sure on Benteke, I think he will want to move as he will be forth choice behind Sturridge/Origi/Ings to play alongside Firminho/Coutinho, but I would rather we keep him than sell him for a massive loss to someone like West Ham/Newcastle, where we will only get £10 million, until recently he is still our top scorer without playing much, which says allot, he seems to get goals even though he doesn't look suited to how we play. We also need a top class keeper, someone commanding in the box to help deal with corners, Hitz for Augsberg looked really good against us, we need someone to rival/replace Mignolet, Bogdan will be going, Danny Ward looks a good prospect but is inexperienced to be a number one yet. I would be tempted to put a cheeky £30 million bid in for De Gea as that's his release clause, we haven't got a chance of getting him, but it will annoy UTD and hopefully would trigger a move from Real, which in affect weakens one of our rivals in the PL, he single handedly kept them in The Europa League the other night and always plays really well against us. I am looking forward to seeing how Markovic does under Klopp, I hope he gets a good run. We need more pace on the wings, Ibe has potential but is still inconsistent, so I think Klopp will be looking for a decent winger, I think Tadic from Southampton would be good, he scores goals as well, I hope we buy 2 or 3 quality players to go in the first team.

I would also like us to have a go at buying Eriksen from Tottenham, he is very creative and would fit in well alongside Can/Hendersen/Milner, I can't believe we never got him before Tottenhan, we were always linked to him and Molby used to say what a great fit he would be, he is supposed to be a Liverpool fan, I guess you can file him under the missed like Alli moneyball non-buys.

not totally convinced by him and actually don't think klopp would like him, just a tad bit too lazy..talented fecker no doubt..
I very much doubt hendo is going anywhere, not when we win the europa and have CL football to offer anyway. I also think getting into top 4 is very much on ,just hope the players realize this and don't take a rest V southampton next week

We need more pace on the wings, Ibe has potential but is still inconsistent, so I think Klopp will be looking for a decent winger, I think Tadic from Southampton would be good, he scores goals as well, I hope we buy 2 or 3 quality players to go in the first team. because he's quite clinical imo, when benteke gets it on target it normally goes in, other than in 1v1 situations. 0.8 of his average 2 shots in the PL have been off target, 0.7 have been on target and 0.5 have been blocked, yet he's scored 7 in 12 apps, and 12 apps off the bench. But all these stats are what I'd call selfish stats, they're only focusing on what he contributes individually, which is pretty easy to do if you want to make a case for benteke being a good striker. Yes benteke has helped us break down teams this season, as he's such threat in the box to mark, but at the end of the day if liverpool want to move forward it's not with benteke. Klopp would be brave or stupid or both, benteke is the most frustrating striker as michael owen said.

We won't sell him and I don't think he'd get in Spurs team at the moment anyway.

I would happily take 25m for Hendo.

Depends who's on the market to replace him for £25m. I would like to keep him.
