First Team Squad
Sutton vs Norm isn't remotely close.
Sutton had the most amazing reactions - best keeper we’ve had since I started supporting Forest (mid eighties)

He is right as now we have no Lowe, Zinckernagel, Davis, Spence or Garner and mostly they were key to the position we are in.It's where we are... the aim is to be the club loaning the players out not being the one that brings them in, but rome was not built in a day..... but I guess Steve Cooper weren't on that job

Yeah because the straight loans last season didn't help us, you know, get back into the Premier League after 23 years or anything
They have their part to play
Last season is completely irrelevant mate. Where we were as a club is a different planet to where we are now.
If we bring in Henderson on a straight loan it is really short term thinking which next summer would likely see us worse than back to square one because Samba and Horvath will likely have left, and if Henderson is a success like the rest of the players Cooper has got his mitts on, he will either stay and United or he will be sold on to someone for a much larger fee.
Not ignorant to the fact loans do have their place, but a 25 year old ‘keeper to either prep him for United next season or sell him to the highest bidder doesn’t really appeal to me.
But I trust Cooper and Dane to make the right decisions for us now and in the future.

No because someone has got to be willing to pay the fee (Newcastle walked away from £40M earlier) and we don't have to buy Henderson.So the reward for re-establishing him in the Prem and increasing his value is giving United a much bigger fee than what they would get now? Wonderful.
The reward is hopefully staying in the league.
Henderson is better than Samba and will make us stronger.
I couldn’t give a solitary shit if Henderson playing well and helping us stay up earns Manchester United a few more quid next season.
We’re the worst team in the league, if we get too sentimental we will remain the worst team in the league and be back pissing about in the lower leagues again.
They got relegated in their second season due to absolutely dog shit recruitment, not losing Henderson. In fact, the bloke they replaced him with was probably the best player they signed.I’m sure Sheff United fans said the exact same thing.

None of it matters if he helps keep us up and who cares if Man Utd make more money out of it, we certainly won't be losing anything in that scenario.

Under Cooper, pretty every loan player we have had has increased their value, so £40m for Henderson after a year with us isn’t out of the realm of possibility.
Like I have just said, I am sure Sheff United fans said exactly the same thing ‘as long as we stay up, worry about the long term next summer’. Well that soon came back to bite them on the arse.
I have no doubt in Henderson’s ability as a player. Even as a Samba fan, I think he is an upgrade. But what I’d personally like to see as a fan is Forest build a squad not just for next season, but for the next two or three. We have an opportunity to do that with the manager we have, an owner who is prepared to spend and the financial rewards that come with Premier League football.
"We shouldn't loan anyone" is a very strange hill to die on mateAnd now don’t we wish we had an agreement to sign him in place so we aren’t losing a key member of the squad who we have significantly increased the value of?
But the point is, comparing what we did as a lower mid table championship team to what we are now which is a newly promoted Premier League team is chalk and cheese.
Which way Calv?Sutton vs Norm isn't remotely close.

For me Sutton was a better keeper than Crossley & was unlucky not to get an England call up
Underrated by the big club loving media
Loans have their place.
