Weren’t Chelsea interested in him a couple of years ago and would have paid 35/40 mil?
Not sure about the figures but there were links.
No - we haven't messed it up because we won't accept a loan with an obligation to buy
We've messed it up because when his value was at his highest, instead of selling him like we should have, we made the mistake of stupidly promising him the No 1 position only to not bother giving it to him and instead just continuing to play De Gea, benching him, devalueing him, pissing him off. We loan him out again, and just as we can sell him to Forest this time, we piss about with De Gea's contract situation for weeks meaning we can't sell Henderson because we'll be without a keeper if we don't resign De Gea, only to replace him with Onana before selling Henderson. Why on earth wouldn't Nottingham chance their arm with a loan to buy now? They know we are desperate to sell because we've already signed Onana and they know Henderson isn't going to be second choice.
So yes.. we've messed up this whole Henderson situation for multiple seasons in a row now. What once was a keeper we could have got 30-40 mill for will likely be going for peanuts now.. if at all this season.
Courtois just tore his ACL... Any chance?
Anything can happen in football but I'd imagine there is a long, long list of keepers that Madrid will look at before even thinking about him.
I'd even imagine De Gea will be one of them.

it’s terrible news, but I mean Real now needs a GK…
Bah gawd that's David De Gea's music
Madrid don't even know Henderson exists.
My very first reaction too. It’s written in the stars.
He's not a modern keeper in the being comfortable on the ball sense. Do you reckon you'll go for a #1 or expect Sanchez to be that?
They can get a truck load of keepers from Laliga for one fourth of what we are asking for Hendo, without comprising the quality
Navas back to Madrid from Forest that then frees up Henderson for a move.
My left field guess
My left field guess
Very left field considering Forest would have to sign Navas first for it to happen!
Navas plays for PSG, he was on loan at Forest last season.
Ah well.
Poor guy is probably sat by the phone waiting for their call.
He's probably cancelled a dentist appointment especially for this.
He probably doesn't want Ancelotti to see him train, because he'll want him and end up being no 2 again.
Deano just needs 1 training session to seal the deal.
We need to virally push some Henderson videos out on Spanish social media
Positive news about this on the BBC website today:
Imagine if Real sign DDG and then get Henderson as a backup, Deano would feel like ground hog day
Ah well if happens late it might mean we have some money in the kitty come January.
But we may need these monies now to buy someone. Late in the window is not the best way
I am not a doctor, but 7- 8 months is a frightening long time for a thigh injury.
I think it is two separate issues. He had the thigh issue and then around about May during his rehab they found another problem and that was when he had surgery so it could be something totally unrelated. the club as ever are rather close lipped on what exactly the probelm was.
He’s back in training with Manchester United? Is he fecking mental. That’s it, ten Hag won’t be able to resist starting him against Wolves now.
Totally understand Forest, he's still not fit and missed half of their season. I wouldn't spending 15-20 million on him right now.
Grade 3 thigh tear can take up to a year for full recovery. If hes lucky it was a grade 2
DDG is free
De Gea is gonna sign for them 100%
Deano will be absolutely baffled when he reads about De Gea heading to Real and yet he hasn't even had a call from them.
He'll just know it's because Ancelotti never got a chance to see him in a training session.

These something a bit funny about him staying as our number 2
Vitek I presume
Is Henderson a bad keeper?
He seemed quite good but impatient at United.

Kovar is off?
