Let's move on and look elsewhere, thanks but no thanks. I'd rather we spent our money on a permanent signing.

It would also free up another loan outfield player which may be more important,it all depends how special Wilder thinks Henderson is !!
 

If he hasn't signed a new contract yet then he won't be loaned out. He may be asking too much with £75k a week, we don't know. If Man U want someone to pay him £75k a week whilst on loan then good luck to them there will be no takers for someone with no experience of the Premier League.

There are plenty of alternatives out there and I suspect we already have them on our radar. One we were considering last season was Danny Ward at Leicester on loan.

It would be a poor decision to hang around waiting to the last minute as all that means is that we get screwed on any deal. We really need to be looking for a better choice second string than Moore because even if Henderson does come and play there's always the risk of injury. That permanent second choice could step up next season. The reality is Henderson won't be playing for SUFC next season if he gets £75k a week so we need a plan in place now to cover that.

I would move on and approach Boro for Randolph. Henderson won’t get premier league experience elsewhere. He might not even get top end championship experience if they have already sorted there GK at this stage of the window. They would be lowering the value of there asset. Not in there interest or his.

If we are considering £20m on championship also rans, then the £25m tag for Butland & avoiding the £75k pw is a no brainer

It would also take up 6 million absolute bare minimum of our budget which could have been used on another player...
 
His wages for a year are going to be cheaper than buying a new gk. Imagine Man Utd will be pointing this out.

Yes it's an arse to have to pay 100% but we'll be getting a decent keeper. Who knows the club and players
 
Can't see us buying Randolph he's getting on and 'Boro would want too much, can't see us getting Etheridge first choice at promotion hunting Cardiff.
Don't actually want Henderson again being as he is a Catch 22. We need a permanent now and I'll be interested to see who the guys pull out of the hat.

With Rodley here, the logic that bringing in another keeper now and that keeper would be more up to speed than Hendo joing half an hour before kick off is laughable.

He played 46 games with the same defence last season.

Whether he comes or not, I’m doubtful it’s critical he needs to link up with the SUFC team ASAP. If he does 10 days away with MUFC then so be it, it gives him time show off his skills to Solksjaer first hand.

Anyone who is slagging him off needs their bumps feeling. Plenty of mileage left in this one, hold your nerve a bit lads ;)
 
I think if Henderson’s £75k wage demands are met and Man Utd then expect any Premier League club loaning him, to pay 100% of his salary, he’ll be playing for their U23’s next season.

They have to be realistic and look at the benefit, not just for their player, but also themselves. They already know how he performs in the Championship, so what would they learn by letting him go back to that level in return for 50% salary contribution? United have agreed to pay that, but will play him in the Premier League. (I think, as Man Utd have the leagues highest wage bill, they should take into account how his wage fits within the pay structure of the loaning club)

After 36 games playing at the same level as his parent club, they will get a realistic insight into, not only of his current ability but also his future potential, which is surely invaluable to their future planning, given their fragile goalkeeping situation?

Ps - whoever is advocating we go out and buy another keeper, needs to think back to the 12 years of wilderness between Paddy Kenny and Moore / Henderson. They don’t grow on trees! :D 🤣

Reading the above post's makes me come to this.

We wont pay Hendersons full wage £75k a week (Man U want us to because they deem we have the cash)

We will look elsewhere and sign Etheridge from Cardiff permanently,for what ever it cost's £6m might do it and £38k wage.

Cardiff will take Henderson on loan,and pay Man U 25% (19k) of his wages because they are Championship club with not a lot of cash (Man U happy to loan him at that rate)

Its a funny old game.

Everybody loses
 
So despite a number of people close to or actually involved in the day-to-day running of the club (Bettis, RD, CW's best mate and DH himself) all saying relax and a deal is sorted, people have put 2+2 together and come up with 1,000,000. OGS said at the end of last season that he wants everyone in during pre-season and I don't blame him for doing so.

And yet, a lot of headless chickens on here are demanding the club forget him and sign alternatives despite basing their view on very limited information.

Just let CW do his job. If DH is not a viable option for whatever reason, I'm sure he'll have other options to explore.

The one caveat to this is, I'm not totally sure anyone at Man Utd really knows what they're doing any more when it comes to player development or recruitment. They're a mess.

And what is the benefit to any party of that happening?
 
Having to sign a goalkeeper on a perm could seriously impact the budget if we were working on the basis of Hendo returning all along. Be a shame if we had to go down that road. Maybe we could get Blackman in relatively cheaply - I really rated him.
 
Fuck Man Utd. Cancerous. Clueless. Reckless. Illogical. They're a very special case. Worst club in the country now by a mile.

To waste money as carelessly as they do then make any sort of demands to us despite knowing we'll significantly develop their asset is laughable.

If you want us to pay his wage, then don't put him on needlessly stupid money.

If you want somebody to add £15m+ to his value, then don't price them out over wage contribution.

I can't wait until we fuck Henderson off next summer and sign a keeper of our own.

If Sam Johnstone has a release clause, let's fast forward and do that now.

But how does that mean he’s mugged us off? He’s prioritising his future which is way above and beyond little old Sheffield United.

He will be here Come the first game.
 
From my understanding Hendo is still yet to sign a new Man Utd contract. And De Gea is close to signing one too. So it seems like the logical thing to do is to get him over to Singapore to link up with De Gea and to sign their new retrospective contracts together. He can also get some training completed while he's out there. When they come back home, send him out on loan to us. I don't see what the big deal is.

Just for once I have some actual ITK information. DH wants to come back, MU want him to come, last year we paid 25% of his wages, MU paid the rest. This year we have offered to pay 50% of his wages but MU say Feck that you are in the PL now if you want him you pay 100% of his wages.

Hope this helps with the discussion. UTB

If 70k p/w for new contract is true that's £2.7m the best GK prospect in Britain for 1 season...

So let's look at Randolph instead... Permanent yes, but he's 4m rated on Transfermarkt so i'd say minimum £5m, as he was championship GK of the year and moved to WHU for 5.5m 2 years ago.. Boro will play hard ball.

So lets' say 5m at a guess... let's add wages at £2m

£7m for a 32y.o. plus another 3 years max on £2m p/y...

It looks like Hendo is our best bet. Next season is when we look for a good long-term PL goalkeeper, once we have £150m-ish survival money behind us.
 

He has flown out to Australia to join the man utd tour according to sky sports news.
