The only negative I can see is: if Henderson is brilliant here and Utd decide they will let De Gea go at the end of his contract next summer, the option price becomes irrelevant. Utd just tell him he’ll be number one at OT next year and he turns us down.

BUT, if Utd are ready to make him their number 1 next year that means he’s been f***ing fantastic for us, so it’s definitely a risk worth taking.

A brilliant statement of intent this.

Also, I don’t think this move is a result of Samba’s paddy; I think it’s probably the cause….

Finally, it might seem mad to us, but 20m is a crazy low price in today’s market.

You have to factor in his wages though. Reportedly on £150k per werk

First off, welcome! You'll find the forum welcoming to other teams' fans (the sane ones,) if a bit trigger-happy with the "Manure(s.)"

How's Henderson's footwork? Although I expect to see less of the ball now we're in the prem, playing out from the back was a big part of how we played all year and I don't expect us to switch to a "hoof it" approach.

Also, what's the word about Garner among the faithful? Expect him to get a real shot? Or are we in with a shout for a perm? (If we pay enough of course, which we will if we get the chance to, he is beloved here.)

This lad will know better than me, but from what I’ve seen, Henderson’s short passing is adequate for PL level. What I do know however, is that he can kick it f***ing miles. When he puts his foot through it, it lands somewhere in the oppo’s box

Apparently Marinakis Jr was instrumental in the talks with Henderson

Yeah that’s another issue at the end of the season, although he might realise that he will have to drop down a bit to stay.

I’ve seen reports he’s on anywhere between 100-150k a week. I imagine we are paying about 60-70k of that this season, with a chunky loan fee (4m?). Still think that’s decent business.

I said before that I want to see our two loan slots used on players who we wouldn’t be able to afford permanently, so this move fits the bill.

Also have to love how we are following Cloughie’s advice of signing the best keeper you can afford.

Cooper drinks with the miracle men regularly, maybe some advice passed on from them?

Surely not? He's only made 13 appearances for them!

Apparently so. It's one of the ludicrous ways United has been run over the last few years. Committing players to long contracts with high wages to keep the asset value high.

The issue is because very few clubs can pay the same wages as United they then can't sell on for high value in order for buying clubs to afford the wages. Henderson would probably be a £35M goalkeeper otherwise.

In terms of if we don't stay up, will we still want to sign him? Will he be willing to step down into the championship? Seems a risky, unnecessary move to myself.
He who dares wins.

They said Cloughie payed over the odds for Shilton.
They all said the Forest bubble would burst.
Gotta be in it to win it.

Positive that he wants to come here. Must have had a good chat with Marinakis Jnr.

Hopefully it gets over the line soon so we can get this season rolling :)

I might give this a try.
I have some of that. It's about 384% alcohol so think I might need a pipette to measure out a sensible amount... Not tried it yet
