For Darius Henderson.

 

[alcoblade]

He'd be an asset right now, but as with all the existing "old guard", was worth about a quarter of what we paid him.

I didn't but then again i loved Alehouse, love Hoofball and drink Lager.

:croc:

 

[judge]

so does hendo

 

[Bladesman]

21 goals in about 3 seasons and spent a fair while crocked with injury.

 

[blader]

Don't care. Was/is a liability. He encouraged long-ball and was on high wages. Still glad we got rid.

 

[JohnDenver]

We paid £2m for him (two million pounds!). He was part of the problem that put us in this league, not the solution that'll get us out again.

In my estimation, Chief did more for us in the target man role than that sharp-elbowed chuffer.

 

[SUFC Handsworth]

Henderson most effective target man in the Championship. If we'd had him all last season we wouldn't have gone down. Him and Slew would have torn up this division. No coincidence that Slew looked nothing like this season without Henderson alongside.

 

[Pinchy]

Here's a prediction that will come back to haunt me (like that boomerang I bought from a ghost): Slew will never tear up any division.

6 in 3 eh? That's not unusual for Hendo. He's a streaky player. The typical Henderson season will contain the following:

1. A purple patch like the one he's having now - he got 10 in 10 games for us a couple of seasons ago, I think
2. At least 2 spells of 8 games or more without a goal
3. Missing a quarter to a third of the games due to injury or suspension

He's very poor value for money.

 

[stannyblade]

I said when he came out and said he wanted to stay and help that he should have been in to the manager and taken a pay cut as he felt it was his fault we went down.

In that context ,should Morgan go in and ask for a paycut too ?

 

[stannyblade]

Morgan didnt say how he blamed himself. How would fans react if hendo had took a pay cut and had a promotion bonus?

 

[Bladesway]

In the ideal world we would have kept him and sold £3m. Unfortunately we don't live in an ideal world. Glad he is doing well elsewhere as the stick he received from our fans was shocking at times. He never did owt wrong in my book and was a great foil to play a little quick striker off. As for encouraging long ball, thats shite talk. The manager tells the players how he wants it playing, no matter who is up top. He was an option, one we don't have any more.

He indeed get 10 in 10 between 17/9/09 and 28/11/09 (and 7 in 5 between 24/10/09 and 28/11/09)

 

[Trigger Blade]

As he only scored 20 in total for us and you've accounted for 17 of those, that suggests some fairly lean and barren periods during the rest of his time at Bramall Lane, where he made 72 appearances.

To put it another way and use the rest of his statisitics, he got 3 in 57

No, the 7 in 5 games is included in the 10 in 10. Sorry to confuse!

That still means he only got 10 in 57!

Mr Value for Money's record pretty much speaks for itself. £2 million paid and the exit of Rob Hulse is one of the worst deals I've seen at United in recent years.

I remember Henderson being on fire in that spell and banging in a hat trick at Bristol. Sadly, it did not last and it was not long before he was injured or suspended again. How many red's in 3 season's at United? Last season, when we really needed him, he was on the treatment table whilst drawing his 17k a week. Then he came back and stifled what little momentum we had by getting sent off after 20 minutes. When you take into consideration how the team played worse with him in the side (encouraging hoof), his crap goals to games ratio, him giving away more free kicks that anyone else in the team and his awful touch then I am surprised to see people defending him. But then we love mediocrity and defend the indefensible. I would expect nothing else than Mr (we should keep the worst managed in the history of SUFC becuse he's a Sheffield lad) Brown to think otherwise. Just think how we could be ripping up the third tier with Ale House Micky's boys knocking it long to Big Darius!!?? Have it! Up and attem boys!?

May I suggest you read your post back in your head in the style of micheal winner ,then you will know how the rest of us feel reading your repetitive wind ups

 

[Balham]

Henderson - good on his day, just a pity those days tended to be months apart once spells suspended or on the physio's bench had taken effect.

If he had felt truly responsible as he said in those interviews at the end of the season he should have offered to play for a pittance. As it is, he's gone to a side where he'll fit in.

We'd probably be a better side with Henderson in the team but probably only as we wouldn't have signed Porter.

Yep gone to the right club I think.

Millwall like to elbow the other team off the park.

Him and Williamson must of been our most red carded and injured players over the last few seasons.

I'm not with you on this.

While I believe that yes we spent too much on Henderson.
The 2 differences between the 2 deals weren't a million miles from one another.

Hulse's record for Derby and QPR for the time that Henderson was with us:
107 starts, 21 sub appearances and 33 goals..... 1 goal per 3.87 games.

Henderson, 68 starts, 12 sub appearances and 20 goals. 1 goal per 4 games.

Hardly one of the worst deals in United recent history.
Let's also not forget that Hulse hadn't scored in over 20 games for the Blades (if I remember rightly).

I agree, we shouldn't have brought Henderson in, but I feel for the money, selling Hulse was right.

 

[Revolution]

I think Robbie's right: selling Hulse was defensible given his trainwreck of a season, long layoff and the cash we got for him. There's a good argument that had, say, Stead got the games he was given in 2007-8 we'd have made the playoffs.

What is less defensible is starting 2008-9 with Beattie, Stead, Webber, Henderson and Sharp all on the books and yet ending up with Craig bleedin Beattie up front on his own in the playoff final...

I know you can't bring yourself to say it, but that's what you meant isn't it?

We can't expect so, but although we need him back, he ticks the same "vastly overpaid" boxes as the rest of 'em.
