I am getting sick and tired about the unfair criticism levied at Henderson. The guy is a youngster, and before he transferred to us, he was being touted as one of the best young players on the planet. Why can't fans, particularly opposition ones, give him a chance to see how well he performs in a Liverpool shirt before they criticise him? I actually have a funny feeling that he will win young player of the year award this year.
Also, the nonsense about his transfer fee is getting very annoying too. The deal was for a maximum of £16m. So probably £12m initial fee with addons depending on England appearances, EPL & ECL triumphs etc. I think we will be happy to pay the full fee if it means we win the EPL and ECL! Also, when you factor in the £8m valuation of N'Gog, it is more like a £4m transfer fee. Which when you consider Man U have just shelled out £24m on Jones is a bargain.
Just wanted to get that off my chest, as it is really getting to me.

Was this thread entitled "Unfair critisism of Henderson" or "which fans have the largest willy's? United, Liverpool or Arsenal"?
=====================================
its always a manc or a cockey with his willy out first though. when henderson mentioned
-----------------
Probably but it's always a Scouse, City fan or a cockney when Bebe or Obertan is mentioned or CL final etc etc etc
WILLYS AYE.......................WHO,D HAVE ONE
is my spelling o.k there seems to a lot of spelling police out today
------------------
Haha my spelling is pretty bad anyway
Fans of today seem strange to me
Can you inagine fans back in the 70s and 80s spending more time arguing about who spells the best than discussing their football teams?
I really do wonder if these boards are just full of 13 and 14 year old as it would explain alot, although, my 13 year old would consider himself a little too old for it himself. He was at Carrington yesterday on a tour which he feels is probably more worthwhile of his time than shouting at someone who can't spell Vieira

might have something to do with they way he played?
just a guess though

I understand the views that a player rated at 16million (if we want to get it right for a change) should be mote dominant at that level, that's fair enough.
But at the same time a defensive pairing costing 30mill conceded 3 in 3 yet to big raps? Most senior international defences won't hit that combined cost!

The thing is, most United fans on here have stuck up for Henderson, yet these three rather silly Liverpool fans would rather WUM, instead of debate properly.
Honestlivpool is quite capable of being a good poster. The other two are just a pair of clowns.

Funny isn't how an England U21's side fail to win one game conceding 3 scoring 2 yet the United players (4 Inc Jones?) and Chelsea lads (2) who make up half the team are apparently all superstars yet the 1 newly Liverpool player takes all the flack?
------------------------
You mean like when Rooney copped for all the flak in South Africa despite us conceding 4 against Germany? All 4 goals were Rooney's fault of course.
A football fan will defend his team's players as the OP is doinf here with Henderson. Nothing wrong with that

to be totally honest the under 21's are not out because of one single player its down to way they seem to have mirrored the england 1st team/squad in they way they play.
last year we went into the world cup with high hopes and were a major disapointment, to say the least, the same with the under 21's this year. i hate to say it but its got to be down to Capello.

The reality is that Liverpool have spent since January almost £80
million on three players ie Carroll,Suarez and Henderson.
Suarez is a very good player who cost just £25 million which was
probably good value in current market.
Carroll cost £35 million and scored last season 13 goals in 28 games when fit. That performance level is frankly no better than
Bendtner who started in fewer games and in my view as Arsenal
supporter is probably worth £10 million tops.
Henderson has cost you an undisclosed fee reputed to be between £16-20 million. Ask yourselves who you could buy for
that money? Van der Vaat an established Dutch International who
played in World Cup Final cost £8.5 million. Nasri whose performance level is on a different planet cost £15 million and
the two young German players bought by Real cost significantly
less.
Focussing on Henderson you should ask the question would he get on Arsenal bench? Fabregas,Nasri and Wilshire are light years
better than him. Messrs Arshavin and Ramsey would rate in my
book better players as well.
The only thing going for him is that he is English and maybe passion,team spirit and physicallity rather than style were more important , which in EPL does have some value, but not £20 million.

Give the young lad a break. He is only 21 years old, has just moved to one of Europe's most historic clubs for a staggering amount of money & after last nights shocking performance will never wear an England shirt ever again.
Perhaps Liverpool like giving money to the North East economy, £55 million on potential talent is extremely generous. Hopefully Newcastle & Sunderland will invest the money into young & upcoming local talent, that way the Jeremy Kyle show may go bust due to lack of guests on the show!!
