CONFIRMED Dean Henderson signs season-long loan

[Cerberus Blade]

Let's all relish Henderson. View attachment 40563 edit: sorry

Does this mean we won’t be in for Lea and Perrins?

MAGNET!!!!

Educated properly it seems

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

This is really promising news, but...


...I'm absolutely gutted about Blackman. I really, really rate him and I think Chelsea would sell. I think we've missed a trick their - hugely so.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

His name sounds far too much like Rob Kozluk to me, so it’s a no.

Now then, chuff off.

 

[robbiez666]

He comes with a good reputation. Like Blackman (and I doubt it's a coincidence) he has proved himself in league 1 the season before we sign him.

 

[8lade]

Thank god we can lay the Blackman worship to rest. Did ok for us in his time but he was no Paddy Kenny.

 

[robbiez666]

Just asked a Grimsby mate about him:

"Really good. Commanding, good organiser, strong in the air. Charismatic too. Should go all the way. Excellent signing."

All positive.

 

[DifferentClass]

He has custom gloves and boots which is always a plus in my book!

 

[DifferentClass]

Just been looking on the Shrews forum and they absolutely fucking rate him:

"One of the best loan signings we've ever had."
"Been a joy to watch though. Good luck to the lad for the future."

Of course being a Blade I have to be sceptical- after all he's played very few if any Prem games- but I'm also optimistic. Think this could be a good one.

(sorry Roy)

Dresses to the left it seems

No, Blackman wasn’t a bottle less cunt who stands behind his line on every set piece and fucks off when a club stands by him through pure stupidity.

 

[Addison]

Looks a good shot stopper but the same could be said about Moore and Long. Provided he commands his area like Blackman did then he will be a good signing. This is essential as we are currently very weak in the air at the back.

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

His name sounds far too much like Dean Hammond to me, so it's a no.

His name sounds far too much like Darius Henderson to me, so it's a no.

Imagine him being called Darius Hammond.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Imagine him being called Darius Hammond.

Imagine what we'd call him....

 

[spongebobblade]

I watched him several times on the TV last season and he certainly looked a keeper with huge potential. I think the majority of us are happy but tinged with a bit of sadness that Blackman probably won’t be returning. I thought we were a good fit but for whatever reason it isn’t happening. Financially Chelsea could want too much or Wilder May want to stretch our budget further. There is also the possibility he rates Henderson more?. Whatever the reason we are covered well in the keepers department again. Great start to our recruitment

 

[Newarkblade]

Agree this is a very good signing and a great start to the summer recruitment. Watched him play for Shrewsbury last season a couple of times and looked good, talks a lot as well.

Seemed to be a fans favourite and highly rated at Man Utd as he recently signed a new contract there, had a lot of offers but chose us due to Wilder and Darren Ward

He has also tried to get the fans onside early on with his tweets which is good to see.

Looking forward to this one

Took ChestEze an over the counter medicine for a cold, who would have thought it would get you as much of a ban as taking Cocaine?
Bottle less? Almost kept us in the Premiership single handed and didn't go off 'injured' after dropping the ball at the feet of an opposing forward.
And once again we have the 'should stick with us despite doubling his money elsewhere' argument; I thought all honest fans had agreed they'd leave too?

We paid him enough money to respect us for sticking by him, it was a cunts trick. Agree that it was a tad harsh but everyone knows the drill and he broke the rules.

He didn’t do like Billy did when he single handedly kept us up in league one, we had some other good players in that season but he did pull off some great saves.

Can’t believe you’re blaming Blackman fully for what happened at QPR? Anyway, if that were Kenny he’d be milking it in an hospital ward trying to find some medicine, he’d still be out injured.

 

[Pedro's Winger]

Bit of a meh signing.
Hopefully he'll be decent but Blackman showed he could do it at this level comfortably last season and a bit disappointing he's not returning.

You struggling for things to complain about Len?

 

[madeinsheffield]

Did this ever appear in the Rumour Mill?

I think Chris knows what he's doing and the rest of us haven't got a clue despite some mate hearing something off somebody who was delivering to the training ground who told the cleaner telling the cook about a conversation they overheard

 

[I should coco]

despite some mate hearing something off somebody who was delivering to the training ground who told the cleaner telling the cook about a conversation they overheard

Well come on then man!

What did the cleaner say, and is it Morsy or Burn on loan?

 

[SuperDuperBlades]

Great News.

 

[The Crab]

Mmmmmmmmm, tasty

Not what you said when you reported me to Environmental Health you Bastard

 

[The Crab]

I won’t let the previous Man U loan disasters cloud my judgement on this one.

Yet

Welcome Dean.

UTB

Look at it this way, we're due a good 'un?

 

[The Crab]

Brizzle not happy...

Had to smile at that opening paragraph.......

 

[SuperDuperBlades]

I liked Blackman but he had the occasional "balls up" and could be a bit hot headed. I reckon Henderson is a better for next season.

UTB

 

[The Crab]

Imagine him being called Darius Hammond.

The worst of both worlds?

 

[Pinchy]

“It’s in the division above and showing that progression by going on to the next bigger stage, in front of 30,000 passionate fans at Bramall Lane. I can’t wait to go there and perform and connect with them. I’m sure it will be a successful season.

“Sheffield United are a massive club and it’s a massive city for football. They’ve got that rivalry with Sheffield Wednesday and I’m looking forward to those games coming up as well. I can’t wait to get there and push up the division.”

We’re massive.

CONFIRMED.
