I think Hendo splits Blades fans as much as Monty! I actually like him, i think even with his faults he is a very good player at this level. But we don't exploit his talents...

He does get on my wick though, constantly battling too much with centre halves, rather than being a little bit smarter he stays in the battle and detracts from his game, centre halves will always win this way as all they need to do is get something on it... Hendo is needed to hold the ball, lay the ball off etc. Perhaps he'd be better as a late sub battering ram...

His ability on the deck is very good, but through no real fault of Hendo's we rarely pla it into his feet, the game changes to lump it.

Ironically it looks like we're planning to play more on the deck and using wingers which could suit both Hendo and Billy, but those two seem to be the fall guys.

Fairplay, perhaps its time to freshen up the stale squad and if we can get money in to spend then even better.

yeah i agree with the fact hendo frustrates with giving away needless free kicks but he also seems to give the ball away to much and he is never going to score you 20 goals a season i think what we need up front is some raw pace and trickery like we had with kabba in his prime and webber want to keep billy but if hendo goes wont lose any sleep if the rumors are true about ebanks-blake and surman then would be happy yo lose both

 

[SwissBlade]

I kind of get what you mean, but i'd rather not have a player like Kabba. His footballing skills were very limited when you compare with Webber or perhaps Camara. He had pace, but that was it, so was never going to last at a decent level. Webber was a genuine footballer, pace, intelligence, skill etc... just lost his bottle and was too injury prone in the end

I think Ched can do the Job that i'd like to see Billy do, but he's also a much smarter player. Sure he hasn't got his goal tally up yet, but I think he will.

Ebanks-Blake and Ched/ Wardy... that could work

 

[Torrix1889]

Personally Henderson is one of the worst signings of my 30 odd years as a Blade.

 

[DuncDisorderly]

I always dreaded seeing his name on the Watford teamsheet. It usually signalled a goal or two and a surefire defeat for us. Maybe we can sell him to WWE..?

 

[gavtheblade]

I think our style of play will improve if he left.does nowt for me.to many fouls

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

It will depend on if he can pass a medical this time.

Even if we can't sell him I'd expect a season long loan might be on the cards.

 

[Bramley]

Beattie or Keogh as a replacement? Sharp off as well.

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

We dont need a like for like replacement.

Evans, Cresswell, Bogdanovic, Ebanks-Blake or other pacey signing. (rumour)

 

[Nick Jansky]

We dont need a like for like replacement.

Evans, Cresswell, Bogdanovic, Ebanks-Blake or other pacey signing. (rumour)

Not forgetting that Ward can also play up front if necessary. If we can get £1m for Hendo, I'd snatch their hand off at the shoulder.

Why does signing Bogdanovich and extending Cresswell's contract suggest that he's slipped down the pecking order?

There's no way Bogdanovich will be in front of him for a start.

I agree. This whole story seems very dubious to me. Cresswell's signing of a new contract is nothing to do with Hendo.

If he genuinely is upset about this, and Bogdanovic coming, then he should be shown the door - quickly.

 

[DuncDisorderly]

There is a lot of speculation already out there about Hendo's future not being at BDTBL, just like Billy. If it comes from one source, it may be horseshit. If it comes from ten then it is probably true. Putting reasons to it is un-necessary really.

Disappointing that we cant get the best out of either of them but we have a good mix of different types of striker (Boggy, Ched, Cressy, plus Wardy and Yeates, plus whoever...) without these two. £3m'ish' cash in bank for 'other projects'. Happy...
