Mate you are being hounded on instalments in the Sancho thread. You need to get there quickDDG.

I'm starting to think we might be emulating the Bravo / Ter Stegen scenario situation from a few years ago, I think Henderson will play every cup game with De Gea being the league keeper. I just can't see someone of his ilk being willing to sit on the bench for a year when he could be playing for pretty much any club outside the top 4.It's a lot on wages, but I guess the gamble is that if he's top class in two years and is our number 1, then we're paying a top class keeper nowhere near as much as we are currently De Gea
Still, 120K to sit on the bench for a year... Not a bad gig.
GrantRight so who do we reckon starts the first league game of the season?
DepressingTwo of our keepers cost £400,000+ a week in wages. Madness.
He's built up a huge rep for himself, I don't think he'll be short of clubs even if he doesn't reach his potential.I'll be the first to wish an Academy player comes good, but imagine if Henderson does not turn out good. We'd struggle to shift him with those wages.
Plus, what has he done for the team to earn that much money anyway?
Good try but i think he’s retiredGrant
Oh he'll definitely play in all the cups... Still a lot of money just to be doing that.I'm starting to think we might be emulating the Bravo / Ter Stegen scenario situation from a few years ago, I think Henderson will play every cup game with De Gea being the league keeper.

Didn't knowGood try but i think he’s retired
Nah not for an England goalkeeperGood news. Crazy wages though unless we plan to sell De Gea next summer.
Those losers can wait!Mate you are being hounded on instalments in the Sancho thread. You need to get there quick
Maybe it was one of those Peter Ridsdale negotiations where he was expecting 70 and we opened at 120...I mean yes get him signed up but what the hell is our upper management doing?
Honestly wouldn't be surprised after all we gave Jones a 5 year contract last year.Maybe it was one of those Peter Ridsdale negotiations where he was expecting 70 and we opened at 120...
It's OK. The mods are happy with this type of shit posting.Quite the achievement to make this a negative thing.
I've heard its about double what Pickford gets... @SilentWitness ?Nah not for an England goalkeeper
Just means if (if) we have to sell his value remains circa 60million, going by Kepa-rates
Probably to stop the masses of hysterical fans that would flood the internet with their negativity, much like we've seen when we haven't bowed to other players demands.120k for what exactly? Sigh
Its posts like this that are ruining this forumWhile Chelsea fill their boots with Chilwell now signed, we do what? Get Henderson, who is not first choice and certainly wasn't second choice in the past two seasons on a six-year deal. So strengthening in the one area of the pitch, you could argue, which is the last that needs strengthening. I say strengthening, because he hasn't been in our squad, having been out on loan.
Of course, what Sky DON'T say is that will undoubtedly mean losing Argentina international Sergio Romero, who we will let go for money. If not.. what the heck is going on? Personally, I would have dropped De Gea during last season, and played Romero because of his poor form. Romero is a top keeper. Best number 2 in the world, surely. But for some reason (wages) the Spaniard appears untouchable. If it had been Matic on poor form, or Fred, or Greenwood, then he would have been rested.
Sky Sports reporting they felt De Gea was not under enough pressure. What guff. What is Romero, if not pressure.
If Woodward thinks Henderson deal is pulling the wool over anyone's eyes. He is totally wrong. Our transfer dealings are again, a farce.
He must've really enjoyed his original post because he basically put the same comment, word for word, in another thread.It's OK. The mods are happy with this type of shit posting.
Was just thinking of that comparison. Cept we can't just sack Henderson if he doesn't turn out as expected. It'll be a nightmare to try and shift him...do we ever think things through?6 years wow, that’s a massive contract! Shows a lot of faith in the lad but also it shows he has faith in us that his time will come.
Then again, I saw 6 years and thought I hope that isn’t going to be a cursed number for us ala David Moyes.
Being one of the best goalkeepers in the entire league last season?120k for what exactly? Sigh
Aston Villa is his likely destination.Good news. Romero probably leaving now though, where to though? Leeds, Chelsea?
Even with the transfer fee waived, who would be willing to cover a £400k a week salary cost for declining, error-prone keeper?De gea should be allowed to go on free.
He increased his value for the club by improving the last few years when he was on loan. The club could've sold for a very good fee, but I think they're too afraid to strengthen a rival and don't believe that DDG could go back to his best especially without competition.I'll be the first to wish an Academy player comes good, but imagine if Henderson does not turn out good. We'd struggle to shift him with those wages.
Plus, what has he done for the team to earn that much money anyway?
Seeing that SU paid just shy of 20m for Ramsdell I'd of sold them Henderson for 30m personallyThat must be the biggest wage ever given to a homegrown player without ever starting a senior game aswell.
Would be a bit awkward now if he is shit for you.
Pickford is on around 100k I think.I've heard its about double what Pickford gets... @SilentWitness ?
fecking depressing, isn't it? Can't say I'm surprised though.So we've gone from wanting him to replace DDG, to calling the management terrible for giving him the opportunity and securing an asset??
