Jordan Henderson

And to add to that. I'd play for any club for free if I was good enough.

What if you fancied a bit of pocket money, would you have 2nd job?

Hendo.. just like the Team .. just like Rodgers .. was being lauded universally not so long ago ... suddenly the team get beat by United & Arsenal and lose a one off cup tie and everything is being called into Question ... Hendo is class .. his stats speak for themselves .. he plays .. gerrard does not .. we tend to win ... all that was missing from his game was goals .. hes added them .. and assists and grit ... he is a class player and show me another English central mid field 24 year old with his wealth of experience ... I am over the moon hes signed ... great business all round ... we now need to sign up Sterling ... although with potentially the club captain on 100k ... I cant see how Sterling will be able to negotiate a deal much bigger than that ...

Your punctuation is really irritating, just write the sentences out. Look. It still has emphasis.

Yes, milk round.

[Paddy]

If he'd have signed before the Utd game and subsequent matches we would all have been delighted with the news. As it stands, this is the only positive out of a really **** month.

[Mark79]

Yes, milk round.

Oh aye, daily deliveries to your team mate's wives. You'd be making all the wrong types of headlines

[Norbs]

Extremely happy with that ... playing in the center of the pitch in a team that does not include Gerrard .. Hendo is Boss !

great news

Brendan needs to play him in the middle with a free attacking role so he can hound down everyone. Not on the right. Not as a defensive midfielder. In the middle, attacking. Why cant he do such a simple ****ing thing!

Cos he tries to accommodate Gerrard? It's no surprise that when Gerrard is sidelined, Henderson looks a better player because he can play his own game instead of having to cover for an ageing, leg weary Stevie.

apologies, I did not even realize I was doing it till someone pointed it out. For your benefit I have already deleted ............... this many dots from this small amount of text

If you were good enough i can guarantee you would no longer feel that way

It's not so annoying if you read it out in the voice of Stevie from Malcolm in the Middle. The pauses suddenly make sense

Its not just Hendo that looks better, most of the players do - apart from the ones that always look ****e!!!!

Its not just because Stevie is losing his legs either. Rewind 10 years and similar issues existed. Stevie was in the middle of the pitch demandiing every pass......he wanted to play every 40 yard ball but he wanted to receive the same pass as well. Maybe its because he was far better than all of his teammates but when gerrard was injured, our stats as a team were always just as good. The other players didnt have to choose between the right pass and the pass to Stevie.... Rafa recognised this and put gerrard either on the right wing or as the #10 behind torres. And that is where stevie played his best football for LFC.

if brendan was really the innovator that he tries to portray himself as, then maybe he would have played Gerrard as a defender? Maybe in Emre Cans place in a back 3 bringing the ball out? It would have maybe got gerrard another season or 2 as an lfc player...

I read somewhere, think it was Tony Barrett, that when a new deal is signed the wage hike is usually backdated to the point at which negotiations started.

Hey?
That makes no sense whatsoever.
Is there an official start to new contract negotiations? is it a casual throw away "We'll look into extending your players contract later this year Mr Agent" line.
What sum gets backdated, the original offer or the final one they agree? maybe the mean of both figures??

There is no incentive for a player to sign a contract early if it's just going to be back dated to some spurious date in the past.
