Jordan Henderson

I am not in anyway saying otherwise. He was awesome for us at his peak. My point is more he is being hyped over there beyond recognition.

Even at his best over here he had plenty of critics. A decent water carrier shouldn;t sell more shirts than Van Basten

It didn’t say he’d sold more shirts than Van Basten, just that Hendersons shirt was the fastest selling shirt in the clubs history.

Given that Ajax don’t ever buy household names, it’s not that hard to believe.

This for me, when we were at our best the two seasons when we ran city close and the one where we won it and the runs to the CL finals and when we one that was where and how Hendo excelled.

He’s moved on and so have we.

Hendo didn’t excel in the 2021/22 season. He was costly for us, especially off the ball. Thinking games against Brentford, Brighton, Chelsea, City.

I don’t blame him though. Ultimately that falls with Klopp for not replacing him as starter sooner.

He was a decent water carrier who could play a pass,, chip in with goals now and again, could play the system with intelligence and constantly geed the team up. He was a great player for us,all teams need a bit of glue. His legs might stand up to the Dutch league.

I can't wait to hear his first interview and see how he morphs the accents, will he go all "Schteeve"

Have you seen how ****e Ajax are recently?

They've turned things around in recent weeks. New manager has sorted a number of their issues and they're up to 5th in the league.

[rudedog]

Has anyone from Ajax seen him play? Even at his brilliant best I would hardly ever call him a showstopper. He couldn't light a conference league alight. I predict this doesn;t end well.

He was but isn’t. The game isn’t as quick in Holland but the players are and he’ll get rinsed by younger midfielders running passes him. I think his benefit to Ajax is more from a leadership and dressing room perspective, something that their current situation suggests they’re missing.

Not every player in a team needs to be showstopper.
Whatever Ajax see in him, I doubt they're expecting him to be Kevin De Bruyne.

Meh, Henderson is obviously well past his best, but there's plenty of perfectly good footballers who would pale in comparison to most of that list.
