Reports are the deal is 12M plus Ngog for Henderson.


Yeah, the funny thing is that the deal is reported to be worth 20M, so that means Sunderland values N'gog at 8M?????

Liverpool valued him at 8M.

Seems a little high to me too.

If it makes them feel better, we can value him at 15M and let them think they caught the deal of the summer...

Does N'Gog's departure mean we are clearing room for a new forward? We are left with only Suarez, Carroll, and Kuyt up top. Who would yall like to see added?

So with the Henderson signing moments away, has anyone else been confirmed for Liverpool this summer?

Trying to keep the OP up-to-date

I really do like the youth movement, buying young. All the way down through the academy.

Pep Guardiola was quoted today as saying that our academy is the only one that can compare to La Masia.

So hats off to Rafa, for bringing in Segura and Rodolfo from Barca...hope it pays big time down the road

Also, where is Henderson expected to play? According to his wiki page he played on the right and middle.

A lot of what I am reading is that he started playing on the right side of midfield, but moved to CM recently. With Cattermole's injury he was forced to play CM for Sunderland.

Depending on KK's formation (I'm assuming 2 CMs), I bet he is destined for the right. If we sign Adam and get back Aquilani, we will have a log jam in CM.

I don't think a "log jam" is necessarily a problem. If we want to make a serious run for the title we have to realize injuries and bad form will take place. Even if KK uses only two in the CM, five or six players is a good number to have on the roster. I think Gerrard, Lucas, Meireles, Henderson, Shelvey, Spearing and possibly Aquilani will make a great pool of players to pick from on a game to game basis.

I agree, but I just have a feeling in a 4-4-2, you are going to see Gerrard/Lucas/Mierlies/Adam (if he signs) getting most of the time at CM...w/Henderson at RM

He is pacy and skillful enough to run at defenders, just my opinion...

In the future, he'll prob move to CM, to free up that wing for young Raheem Sterling...

Agreed about Henderson. I really hope Sterling's development continues. I can see him contributing to our wings in 2-3 years. Very exciting...
