Have to put this to the power of Kenny and Lfc, great transfer. When Scum came n for him last year he said it was to early and really wanted to stay for a couple of seasons. By alll accounts the lad is real grounded and a decent sort.

I think under our coaching team he could be a real winner, I am not sure Bruce knew how to get the best out of him to be honest.

I think many of you who havent seen him will be amazed by his engine, my mates call him the lawnmower up there. He really does have a great will to win and think he will be a great asset to the squad.

Liverpool FC Jordan Henderson opinion: Neil Jones on why Reds targeted Sunderland's young star.
By Neil JonesJun 8 2011

JORDAN Henderson's imminent signing is a genuine statement of intent by Liverpool ahead of what promises to be a busy summer at Anfield.

It is no secret that Kenny Dalglish and Damien Comolli have plenty of work to do to reshape the Reds squad this summer, and this deal would seem to fit neatly with club owners Fenway Sports Group and their long-term strategy.

Henderson is young and English, but most importantly talented.

Cynics will suggest that Liverpool are paying an "English premium" but they showed with Andy Carroll in January that they are willing to pay whatever it takes to land their top targets, and the speed and decisiveness with which they have secured Henderson is a hugely positive sign.

And by valuing David Ngog, the makeweight in the deal, at £8m, Dalglish and his team have shown that they too can drive a hard bargain.

The Frenchman should depart Anfield with little but fond wishes. He may not have been the man to take Liverpool to 'the next level' as such, but he worked hard, scored some important goals, and deserves his chance of first team football in the north East.

Comparing his development at Anfield to that of Ryan Babel, who left for around half the £11m Liverpool paid Ajax for him, it is clear to see which was the smarter piece of business.

As for Henderson himself, well at 20 he clearly has plenty of developing to do, but he also has all the raw materials to be a success at Liverpool. Indeed, he displayed as much with a mightily impressive display against Roy Hodgson's Reds last September in a 2-2 draw at Anfield.

He is composed, athletic, energetic and has the ability to cross and pass the ball with consistent quality. Carroll, in particular, will thrive on his early balls into the penalty area, as he did so successfully at Newcastle with Joey Barton.

Steve Bruce was clearly desperate to keep Henderson at the Stadium of Light. Manchester City and Manchester United had expressed an interest, but the youngster's determination to move to Merseyside and link up with Dalglish shows that Liverpool's pulling power remains undiminished.

These are exciting times at Anfield, and expect a few more names to follow the Wearsider over the next couple of months.

So if he signs today I assume the transfer window is offically open? I thought it opened on July 1st?

Domestic transfer market opened immediately after the last game of the season I think

He's got a ****ing terrible haircut.

[Buzzo]

He looks a confident and talented young player. As with the majority of the players we are linked with I have n't seen much of him playing. However I like a centre midfielder who wants to wear the number 10 shirt. A good sign of confidence. Wonder if the young lad will take Joey Cole's shirt from him..?

[BubbaZanetti]

He looks a bit like Tyrion the Imp from Game of Thrones ... Welcome to Anfield !

****! Him and Spearing don't give our midfield much height.

[Muddled]

Ahh Zenden breaking down to the beat ... still tickles me now.

I'm loathed to judge from YouTube footage, but that's as much as I've seen of him and I'm with Buzzo on this one.

No problem, apparently we're signing Hodor for the holding role
