"Kenny please read this comment I have found on the internet please, please....
125.I really hope this price is newspaper speculation and that Dalglish hasn't just spent over the odds on yet another unproven player... "
"A lot of money and although Ngogg is part of that deal we still would have got money for him. 20 Mill seems a very high price, only 2mill more than Suarez to put it in perspective. Well in Kenny we trust, at least we are finally off the mark. Welcome Hendo. YNWA"
"Great news but what do we do with all the other cebtral players we have (Lucas, Meireles, Shelvey, Spearing, Aquilani, Poulsen, Cole) this all points to players being used out of position -AGAIN! Meireles is wasted uot wide and NOT THE ANSWER! happy about this ambition but confused and concerned we wont be using wingers -AGIAN - to get the best out of Carroll!"
"Yeeeeesssss get in! let's not talk about how much he costs but just trust Kenny. the King knows exactly what he is doing he is a master at seeing potential in players and nurturing them. He did it in the past and he will do it again!! "
"For 20m he has to be more than a prospect - ridiculous if he doesnt play for this fee - how do you fit all these central players into 2 positions - without not having wingers? Yet again, playesr out of position and NO WIDTH! why are we cursed with tactics that do not include width??? Will never get the best out of Carroll by being narrow"
"It's reported that the fee is 13M plus david ngog. Sounds expensive but hey, kenny never really played ngog and no need to pay his salary anymore. I also heard we are approaching Jeffren Suarez from barcelona. He's a winger but not in the barca 1st team."
"Henderson is a central player - he cannot be allowed to be wasted out wide, OUT OF POSITION - like so many other good central players before him at LFC - Barnes was a winger and we needed a winger - like we do now and have done for year!!!! "
"glad we've got him, sure he'll be a great player in the future, but can't help but think once again we've paid well over the top for a player. £20million!?!? very much doubt we'll make many more signings if we're paying so much for a player. don't expect any current world class players to come this summer. "
"13 million + Ngog ! King Kenny knows ! reminds me of a younger stevie g ! now please get Stewart Downing and Juan Mata and Scot Dann + a left back and we're set ! YNWA !
"
"To all you people saying do we need mf players the answer is YES. Aquaman will be leaving as will poulsen and probably cole. Spearing and Shelvey are not first team players so DEAL with it!! And young Jordan can play wide and probably will this year before FILLING the captains boots next year when Stevie will revert back to the holding role. Also this won't be our only signing. "
"This move is very expensive but i think we move in th logic of replacing players with no future with prospects without cash outlay. 7m of the price is Ngog and don't forget we expect 13m or so for Aqua. SO zero cash outlay. "
"I believe in Kenny. He knows whats best for us. Just one request is that I hope he will not hype any unproven players like he did with Carroll. Let them prove themselves, before they get any praise. that should be their challenge"
"I think kenny is thinking of selling aquilani, if not there will be too many centre mid including gerrard, meireles, lucas and possibly spearing and shelvey. We must get a left winger since jordan can play right mid."
"Good player I'm just disappointed we havnt been linked to the worldies we might have expected this summer.none of the players we are interested in give me anything to get excited about however saying that Kenny knows whats hes doing and has an extraordinary knack of being able to get that bit extra out of individuals other coaches might struggle with"
"Just like Andy Carroll, people are not really acknowledging the player because of the price. Henderson is rumoured to be the next Beckham, he played right midfield, in Kenny I trust."
"Welcome to LFC. Now to sign a left back and wingers. From what i've heard so far we seem to be targeting the spots that need the least reinforcements, CM and CB. Sign some wingers!"
"Its the way that the market fluctuates, we have bought one of thier best players and he is english! get over the price tag and welcome the man! In Kenny we Trust!"
"we dont need Adam and we dont need DOWNING... The latter is not good enough to wear the shirt, FULLS STOP! Whats it is wrong with people. He wouldnt get into the top four teams, so why would he fit here. Hazzard , Matta or Bojan. We need QUALITY"
" I can't help being worried about this deal. £ 20 mil for someone who has potential. 'potential' means exactly that 'potential' and there is no guarantee that a young player will ever make it - babel come to mind (although I dearly hope both Carroll and Jordan will make it)). "
"welcome to anfield! 20 mil including ngog seems good for the future, but the lad has a lot of work to do to be good enough for us to be challenging for silverware. thankfully he has stevie, kenny, and all the other players to help him through, but i still somehow feel hes gonna have to punch above his weight! we still need wide players though."
"It's too early to say whether "20M-Ngog" is too expensive until we see what he can bring to us in the next 2-3 years. I guess though this menas Aqua, Cole and Poulsen are leaving. I just wonder what lies in front of Shelvey and other youngsters."
"All of you losers saying that 20 million is too much need to understand that we put ourselves in this position by paying 35 million for Andy Carroll. English players are always more expensive in the Premier League, but we bumped the going rate up further when we bought Carrol."
"well this guy is class.. no doubt.. but stil iam a bit confused after being linked with the likes of coentrao.. hazard young.. mvila .. and so on .. well i hope that Henderson can bring something great to this team "
"Here we go. First one. This is going to be an exciting period for the Reds.
We are making sure we have back ups in every area because of the demands of the league.No more being stretched through injuries.Henderson is a good acquisition, Liverpool mean business this year. Thank you Fenway sports."
"He must be on low wages.. Cos 20mill is a lil steep. Although he is a huge prospect in the game...
All I know is we wouldnt go and pay stupid prices for the sake of it, so in Kenny we trust. :)"
"henderson is a fantastic player we have made a statement in signing him! king kenny knows exactly what hes doing so people stop worrying about who we sign and how much they cost dont forget wev got the master in the managers office now. YNWA"
"35 + 23 + 20 + ? ... For the sake of this club n also the King's reputation, i hope this big inflated signing policy will prove great. To be fair, the Henderson deal is not exactly 20 mil.. it's 13 mil plus Ngog. Bye Ngog. Thank you for your contribution n good luck.."
"Great start this guy looks exciting. Cant believe the amount of negative half wit comments on here pull your heads in. In the KING WE TRUST! & FYI English players are at a premium due to fair rules regulations coming into play soon. "
"Why do people still think we need Charlie Adam!? How many CM do we need!? Spearing, lucas, Meireles, Gerrard, Shelvey, Henderson!! Enough! We dont have any decent wingers and still need a LB, extra CB and young striker to replace Ngog. "
"What is it with all these negative comments.Obviously some of the other midfield players are on their way.Look to the future people and try to be positive, enjoy watching the story unfold.
"
"Stevie will be moved wide right Henderson, Raul central, need a left sided midfield for either first team r backup to maxi, lb and a decent striker maybe klose as a good experienced back up "
"very happy with this signing!!
Do all these CM we have now suggest 433 for next year, with 1-2 more wingers coming in soon?? hazard,mata or young would do..."
"Excellent Prospect though we agree that 13 + n'gog is too much but still we should take the positivity from the transfer
1- English player young
2- very versatile he plays rm in many matches
3-we got rid of n'gog( and i wish n'gog good luck there)"
" GC3195
maybe you're a loser, have a bit of respect damn it. If we overpaid for Carrol doesn't mean that we have to overpay for every player. I still think that's 'too expensive' 13m(cash)+7m(ngog). 2 weeks ago, he was rated 8m , do u get now ? I don't think his price will go up ever "
"guys for all the people that arent why about this signing, i think the money from this will be fronted by the 15 million spare from the torres deal, as well as the sale of aquilani and poulsen. he will fit into a midfield 3 as kenny is looking to play 433 with carroll as spearhead and 2 creative foreards around him in suarez and another."
" so you can have a class midifeld of henderson gerrard and meireles. 3 players who all score goals, can defend and are very athletic and can get around the pitch, which is needed when you can 433. and have players like lucas who can all fit into this system giving us depth for once! good signing i think and wont have taken alot out of the kitty! "
"Get Stewart Downing from Villa!! Gonna be tough now Mark Hughes is gonna be favourite to take over Villa hot-seat..Jordan Henderson welcome to ANFIELD!! YNWA"
"to everyone saying wev signed another cm henderson is naturally a right winger who can also play centre mid not the other way round, quality signing even though a bit pricey"
"Ok people lets get it right please. This is what the deal will be...... The deal will see Liverpool pay £13 million and the £7 million-rated striker David Nâ??Gog which totals to £20 million. Welcome to LFC Jordan. YNWA"
"Have to admit, I knew nothing about Suarez when he signed other that what happened at the World Cup, but he's been top class.
More than happy to have Henderson and glad we've started business early instead of leaving it until the last minute! And don't forget he can play right midfield too, he's young and he's british. PERFECT. "
"great start to transfer window for liverpool, and really impressive to see the management so organised in signing a player well in advance of the open of the transfer window. fantastic work by comolli and the management. can't wait to see him on the pitch"
"AweSomeRed7 have you not watched much football recently then? Henderson is considered one of the most talented young midfielders in the country, already got an england cap at 20. a very good signing."
" Fergie was chasinghim for gods sake. People say we need wingers, , Dirk is being lined up to play as a support striker to carroll and suarez, the 3 connect like telepaths. and what about stevie in behind the strikers...henderson merrieles, lucas, spearing, shelvey, aqua? take your pic we need squad depth and we finally have it. "
"Midfielder for now and the future. Fills the gap between young reserves and Gerrard etc.
Hope Jordan realises the hard work LFC expects from him. KK is just the guy to show him the Liverpool way.
"
"Great signing, lets just hope he can really show his worth at a top club like Liverpool and if he does, then we have a very classy midfielder to look forward to watching next season, good opening signing there King Kenny :D lets push on for further quality players now, welcome to LFC though Jordan! YNWA"
"KK knows a good player and young Henderson fits the bill. Planning for the future is what its all about and buying at a price they've obviously done their homework on him seeing his potential. This is a good sign also and proves FSG are prepared to back KK and Damien. Bad sign for the other top teams."
"so heard about this all yesterday glad its true he is a great talent and can be as good as stevie G also n'gog going other way even if not mentioned yet so that means were going in for a new striker as well YNWA!!!!!!"
"Forget about the money, if he has 4 good seasons and then decides to leave, at 24 he'll still command a £20million fee. Get rid of some of the deadwood now please."
"So excited about next season. Henderson is another battler, and skilful too. Remember that Kenny is the man examining the talent after Comolli looks at the stats, and remember the teams Kenny built WITHOUT the need for stats. Now imagine the team he can build by utilizing his own genius, along with Comolli's nouse, and Steve Clarke's training methods. Thats a frightening thought. IKWT YNWA"
"I think we have to rethink our transfer policy under Kenny,we seem to be just throwing money to the dogs.35M for Carroll and now 20m for Henderson,two unproven players who only seem to be prospects and do not deserve half the money we are doling to their teams,we seem not to doing some shrewed business and doing some panic buying in my opinion."
"With this signing, it is blatantly obvious that Kenny is looking at 4-3-3 next season, like Barcelona. Also do we really need wingers? Barcelona without doubt are one of the greatest teams ever, and I wouldn't call a single player of their First XI a winger. Kenny obviously has a clear plan to play like them, because that is how we were playing by the end of the season."
"this is great news...now if gerrard meireles lucas spearing and shelvey all get injured we have a 6th choice centre mid to fill in and he only cost 20million :)"
"After this signing, I would still like one more attacking player, (either a striker or a winger) to partner suarez and carroll in a 4-3-3. Once we got that, a left-back would be nice (leighton baines), and then we are sorted, and can spend any additional money on improving depth with young english players"
"i believe he will be a great signing but he still needs time which some of our fans are reluctant to give. The way we are producing and buying young English players is brilliant. I think other clubs should take a leaf."
"What do people base their valuation on I wonder when they say 20 million is too much money? As long as I'm not picking up the bill for this kid, I seriously don't care how much money the club feel is justified to pay for him.
Now back to football. Fantastic young talent. Welcome to LFC lad. I'm sure you'll do great!"
"4-3-3 Formation. Gerrard centre, Meireles on the left, Henderson on the right. Caroll through the middle, Suarez on the right, Mata on the left. Then two new defenders. Perfect! YNWA"
"Just one question, why!? we have meireles, gerrard, lucas, Shelvey, Spearing who are all as good or better in CM. Surely this means Aqua's going cos having 7 CM's would be idiotic! Please signs some wingers and a LB, get at least N'Zogbia and Sissokho. Anyway although sceptical welcome to LFC!"
"whilst I think he's a great player with potential, if the reports that we are paying £20 million for him plus ngog then this means he's going to be our only signing this summer."
"Shame to see the kid is already getting bad press. Have faith in the Kenny way as it is working with a true legend and masterful coaching staff on a day-by-day basis that will transform Jordan in to a star! YNWA "
"Welcome at LFC. Hope Kenny and Comolli know, what they are doing. So much money... Wow. And a type of player we actually dont need. I wish all the best to LFC. YNWA"
"So every summer we have people complaining that it takes too long to sign players etc etc and now we're paying too much. You just can't do right by everyone...
Happy to see us get the signings in early. This way they can take part in pre-season and they're ready for the first game.
Thank you FSG."
"the 20 mil includes the 7 mil valuation of ngog so 13 mil is still a bit much but he is young and english, reckon its a great buy, welcome to liverpool football club mate YNWA!"
"Too many 'fans' are criticizing kennys transfer decisionsand questioning value of players. We don't Know what kenny has in mind, who's staying, who's going. We do know Kenny has promised a stronger squad... and I believe in him. Have faith."
"I dont know abt some of you.. but paying inflated price is definitely not a healthy thg.. True it is not our money, at least not directly. but it would mean that we are raising the market rate n soon enough all the player would cost at least 20-30 mil! N soon after, the merchandise plus ticket will have to be raised... simple economic.."
"good singing but surely the formation will either be 433 Henderson right, gerrard centre, meireles left or 343 maxi left, meireles and gerrard centre, Henderson right or 334 ?? what you think"
"If anyone can get close to Stevie G's potential then its a cheap deal, only time will tell. If Ngog went for 7 mil then okay. Just hope the books are balanced or not too much financial damage done by the end of this transfer window. On the other hand, if all the signings win us the PL next year then all the money spent will be insignificant to having that trophy back at the home of football."

"Just to follow on from the previous comment, he will sign for 5 years and is a step in the right direction. Anyone who wears the Red shirt and experiences Anfield will give their all! Best of Luck to Ngog going the other way (thaks for that United goal) - YNWA"
"Henderson is a great prospect. Might not find the team straight away but will certainly strengthen the bench. YNWA Jordan.
Great pity to see Ngog go. There are quite a few i would rather have seen the back of. I wish him good luck and hope that he doesn't come back to bite us. YNWA David."
"this guy wood fill a 120 grand seater
Philipe Coutinho
will be better than messi
do what u can to sign him king pleas i no you the
king
he like maradona on steds wow just watchd him gen amzing player better than maradona but not u the king lol"
"Who knows? Kenny may start to play 5-3-2, 3-5-2, or 4-3-3, then having three central midfielders is very reasonable. This is a good signing for the future, and hopefully for now as well. On how Kenny plans to use the players, well, he's the manager, not us. In Kenny we trust."
"55 million for Carroll an Henderson? We can buy world class for that, these 2 have potential to be good players but thats it. What value are we getting for our money here?"
"Top player! I just can't figure who's place he's gonna take? Lucas finally did excellent, Miereles is class, Gerrard's captain, Kuyt plays on the right wing when he can't be striker, Maxi did well come end of season, Carrol and Suarez up front. Where's Henderson going to go?
Either way, welcome to the club lad! YNWA"
"Very good signing great prospect!! He can play on the wing aswell he aint just a centre midfielder!! I think Kenny knows what he is doing and knows what we need to take us forward!!! YNWA"
"I'm sure KK knows the positions he needs to fill and if he only had £20m to spend then he wouldn't waste it on 1 midfielder knowing we got players to cover that. I too thought £20m was too much to pay but KK must have other aces in the pack otherwise he wouldn't have done the deal so in KK we trust and welcome to LFC Jordan, YNWA. "
"Great i'am very delighted...i just hope we can bring some star player in the name of Sancez,Hazazrd or Mata but only if they are interested in coming to LFC...next target instead Adam should be Adel Taarbat,great potential "
"and to the people worrying about who's gonna play where, there's no need to worry we will now be a footballing squad with multiple formations which will accomadate diffrent players kk is a tactician not a one trick pony
"
"i dont understand fans that are complaining saying we are spending a lot of money bla bla, would you rather we bought the likes of fletcher, poulson, smalling, eboue for 3 million. good players are expensive"
"Overpriced, How is he going to fit into the team? Gerrard and Meireles in CM and Henderson out in RM? Get Florent Malouda/Stewart Downing to play on the left flank, could get either for 10mil. N'Zogbia and Young can jog on if they don't want to come to Anfield. YNWA."
"I still think we payed way over the odds for him, 16-20m for what he might become in the future its a big gamble, but of cus I welcome you to the club Jordan, hope you will show right away why the big pricetag. YNWA. ."
"i hope d deal is only worth £20 mil altogether with Ngog valued at £7 mil..dat wud b a decent deal, still a little high but hopefully Jordan can fulfill the potential Kenny see's in him"
"Talk of not qualifying for ECL and EL effecting our ability to attract big name signings looks to be coming true. Henderson has talent and a bright future but is really better than what we have ? will he push us back into the top four or even top two ? I doubt it so unless there are bigger names to come it looks like we will be buying good players and not world class , Young to MU for example ."
"Only time will tell, 13m for a young english talent, is not over the odds these days. If we go for Adam as well then we have way too much depth. We still have some good young talent coming through as well. Somebody has to make way so there will be good competition.
But let's wait and see he's only 20 so we have plenty of time. It's not all about next season. "
"The centre of field is already packed and he's not a natural winger. We need wide men. We can't spend all our money on spots that don't need to be filled. He's a great prospect but we must prioritize."
"good players can play anywhere! If Kenny plays him wide or centre Kenny will get the best out of him, look what has happened to Maxi, he was a bag of e b4 keny came in.
Welcome lad! Im sure youll do great ere!"
"I great signing and bright future, but where are we gonna play him with our current starting eleven team as we have Gerrard, Meireles, Lucas and Spearing all playing in the same position, the only Position would be on the right but i dont know if his so good thier or not
"
"Utd buying YOUNG for 16million .. and he is quality .. Modric worth 20million he's quality and proven also... but we have bought Henderson in 20million+NGOG and he's UNPROVEN ... i think Sunderland has done quite impressive business with it .. & we(LP) have waste our Transfer kitty on just 1 Player .. he should have been bough 15million+NGOG .. Where is the negotiation team ???
"
"O.K as long as we don't now chase Charle Adam as well. Don't need him - not good enough. Need top top quality wingers. Pity Manure look to have Phil Jones in their pocket!
Also not sure about Ngog going the other way?"
"sick and tired off people saying lets get hazard i guarentee none of you have even seen him play no-1 with a bit of sense watches the frech league stop thinking use know it all coz yas have got football manager "
"im not too sur bout this atall, we hav too many in midfield at da mo, gerrard, meireles, lucas, spearing, jonjo, poulson and now we hav henderson. we need to sell a few mids now
"
"well, i cant understand why people complaining bout JH is too expensive. think back, how much MU buy Ronaldo then, Arsenal Fab, Spurs Modric, and the list go on...i am very happy to see that LFC now have the buying power to compete with the rest, especially just a few weeks after season finish. will not sure if we can win PL next season, but definitely i am very optimistic"

"Great Signing â?¦ Young Talent. Add Wickham,Jones in the list too and its already looking very good on FSG,Comolli and King Kennyâ??s part to have sorted out British Transfer Window before the pre-season.YNWA
Manoj,India"
"Good signing.
Juan Mata is key for me. Plenty of quality. Can create and score goals. Most importantly he is alse very fit and gets injured very less. Dream team already if he can fit in on the left wing.
But left-back and centre back still remain a question and I believe Steve Bruce would've sold Henderson to his beloved Alex Ferguson for a lesser price. :-P"
"A good player but is he worth £20million? probably not. I really, really, really hope he can make that fee look a bargain. Also, thats Aqualani gone then (not actually bothered in the slightest). "
"SGWIGSY you keep saying the same thing over and over and over again. Who (apart from Kenny) knows which players will be here in august, not you, not me, so sit back, relax and wait for the good times to roll!"
"Happy with the signing.
2 questions
1. Why is it taking so long to actually be confirmed as gone through.
2. How have Utd managed to get Jones to the same stage as Henderson so quickly and not any mention of it happening, whereas we have known about the Henderson deal for a few days. God Utd annoy me."
"Why does everybody speculate in the price? Great deal, now we don't have to pay for N'Gogs payment-check. We've got at great player with great potential, for about 15-16 m. N'gog isn't worth a penny more, except for if you check at youtube.. Hasn't even noticed he did any of those things.."
"BOOOO to all with negative comments,tired of those with negative comments that it actually makes me sick.
Welcome to LFC Jordan and may you go from strenght to strenght,
and last but not least in Kenny and FSG I TRUST."
"16M + Ngog I hear... Great signing. Next up is Scott Dann for 10M. Hopefully within the next month we will all see a marquee signing like Mata coming to Anfield. "
"In Kenny I trust! End of! Welcome mate and the best of luck to you, a brilliant signing... YNWA also the negative people on here should really disappear this is Liverpool FC!!!!!"
"im not over the moon about this signing!! but i'll give the lad a chance!! what i dont understand is if we got henderson now! why are we still after adam!!! i got a funny feeling henderson will be playing on the wing next season. smh! we need proper wingers!! or we are going nowhere fast!!!!"
"Overpriced for potential + ngog bieng part of the deal means we now have to buy 2 strikers. at that price he will be playing every week which means he'll be playing on the right, yet again playing players out of pos'n instead of buying proper wide players"
"go for Higuain! Real wants sell him to Arsenal, Tottenham only £15M. Bring him to fight with Carroll. We also need wingers, MATA PLZ! Lille is ready to sell Hazard. Turan LFC fan! Cmon KK"
"The lads a gd player and he is english..stop moaning about the transfer fee lets look to at the bigger picture.americans are putting there money were there mouth is and were buying young great prospects...king kenny knows wat hes doing roll on next season ynwa....5times mancs"
"I am a big a fan of Henderson I think that he has a future.Should sell Jones , Konchesky , Agger , Aurelio , Cole , Jovanovic , Kyrgiacos And Poulsen .Loan out Wilson , Spearing and Shelvey .And buy Adam Downing Dann and Clichy . Y.N.W.A. "
"Henderson is a terrific signing. U look at barca and u see that most of them play for the Spain squad. Now we have carroll, shelvey, Henderson, spearing, Kelly, all young English lads. KK might be building something significant for lfc's future."
"Goodluck young man. May you reach your full potential and enjoy medals in a long and full career. Keep your head down work hard and then you will never walk alone."
"carrollmyhero!!! but spanish players are top class!!! english players are just average!!! id rather have a team full of the best players possible don't care where they come from!! if u think just buying english players is gonna make us great again, you've made a sad mistake"
"Great to see young English signings coming in would like to see a wide player and maybe LB.Would also like to see some outgoing players to raise some cash, Cole, Poulson, Konchesky,Aquaman and Kyriakos. don't loan out Shelvey he's a gem"
"some people have no idea about football,, they ask y pay so much for english players, and someone says they would be happy with no english at all,,, lol with the new rules you have to have at least 6 home grown players in your squad. and there are only so many english young talents, hense the scramble now.. and we need a few,,, ynwa"
"great singing realy happy about this think he is going to be good for us... kk is building a team and trust me he knows what he is doing.. and to all of those that say there is to much compoion whats wrong with that we gona have lots of good players fighting and working hard to make the team.. sounds good to me.. depth is what we need.. keep buying smart in kk we trust YNWA"
"To people askin how he is gunna fit in the team, WE ARE BUILDING A SQUAD! And to people saying he is over priced, £13million isnt bad at all for a future star who has fantastic qualities already! You can say that NGog made it upto £20million as much as you want but this isnt the case."
"We paid £1.5million for him in 2008 and he had to be taken from the wage bill, plus we needed to make room to sign another striker. So, if you look at it that way, £13million doesnt look bad at all! YNWA Welcome to the greatest club you will ever play for mate, good luck!"
"Nice signing by King kenny..guys got a nice bright future...but we need a great named winger someone like young,bale or someone...we need to spend big on a winger....also need a great left back like johnson(enrique and centrao=perfect)...also need a cb whose can support and back up agger and carragher,someone like skrtel whose is young and has a future "
"no doubt the lad has a great future but we shouldnt have spent so much on him because hes not going to get a 1st team place...we need players that will get us in the champs league quickly not slowly.
But if that money is chump change to the yanks then im delighted..so we can get top players now like mata,hazard and downing"
"A good player but.... why? It's a lot of money for a squad player. Surely you can't oust Spearing and put hendo in his place. Seems a little unfair. Spearing made hendo look like an amateur when we played sunderland in april...

"paul1976!!! we got more than 6 homegrown players fyi!!! do you even no all the players we got in our squad!!!! and henderson ain't no winger!! he's a cm that can play on the right!!! he cant beat defenders with ease, which is what we need!! and not just one! like some keep saying, but two left and right"
"Good signing & shows our intent. Personally i think wingers should be next on the agenda but Kenny knows what he's doing.
Welcome to LFC Henderson lad.
YNWA."
"I saw his videos before. He is a good crosser and can play on the right flank. Maybe King Kenny want young player who can play in many position. King Kenny we trust! YNWA!"
"Henderson is a good buy and will be good investment for the future.
Thanks God we did not get Jones. He is the main reason why Blackburn was on the verge of relegation. Too many defensive errors giving away easy goals. "
"Guys plz give Cole another chance!!!! You were crying about Maxi to leave and now you there is not a word about Maxi mentioned here...But think this : if Maxi can play like this under KENNY then why can't Cole!!!"
"with so many CM in Liverpool, KK might not be playing with traditional 4-4-2, I had a feeling we are playing 4-1-2-1-2 for next season with not wingers except for wing back. 1 free moving AM to create space for suares & caroll, 2 traditional CM & 1 DM to cover the back 4 in case any of the wing back forget to come back...."
"excellent..
now send offer for Aguero or Bale.. we need one of them screw Adam Young or Mata and low profile players.. signing of a big name will at least boost shirt sale and gain more money for the team.. 40 million â?¬ will just be enough for one of them.. Or offer 35 million plus Joe Cole to Tottenham for Bale.."
"I just don't get it. I really don't. This much for someone in our most competed for position? And don't just give me "In kenny we trust'. In Commoli I dont. Where dies this leave Raul/Stevie/Jay/Lucas..."
"breedo23 - Can you not see that we're building a strong squad, of course not every single one of our centre midfielders will play every week, but it's good that we will have 4 or 5 quality centre midfielders, because throughout a season there's injuries, and if someone does get injured, somebody else who may have been left out in recent weeks will come in and they will be a quality replacement. "
""Mux08" why should LFC pay 30 million for Bale just so he can sit out for most of the season, yes great player when he is fit.Kenny could buy two good players for that.
Why waste 30 million."
"Lets put all this financial talk into perspective shall we. Torres (50m)+ Babel (6m) = £56m / Suarez (23m)+ Carroll (35m) = £56m (break even). The Henderson deal will be covered by the sale of Aquaman (between 13-15m). The have taken Ngog off our books who we bought for 1.5m so in fact we have hardly spent a penny yet. Its perfect planning!"
"im thinking its gonna be henderson maxi raul or johnson that will fill in those winger position if we don't pick up another winger within the window."
"COME ON WE NEED JUAN MATA, LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE LOST OUT ON YOUNG, FUNNY HOW THESE PLAYERS THINK ITS A GIVEN IF THE GO TO UNITED THEY GET A MEDAL!! COME ON POOL LETS GET BACK TO WINNING, MATA IS A MUST PLEASE FSG,COMOLLI AND KK!!"
"Sorry how rude, welcome in Jordan!! Fergie must be a very angry man!! you will help pool get back to the top. more importantly give 100% and you know YNWA!!! Welcome"
"It's a perfect transfer by 16m bid. Now Gerrard can back to his old position , holding midfield and meireles with jordan can go attack safely.
We just need two players again, world class left back and winger/SS left.
I prefer marcelo/baines pr hazard/lavezzi/aguero.
If LFC can transfer this 2 players, no doubt we will be champion next season. Maybe we can defeat barcelona too. YNWA
"
"next sell joe cole for 3m,poulsen 2m,maxi 3m,spearing or shelvey for 6m, kyrgiakos 2m, jovanovic 6m, aqua 14m..
If this selling is done the funds is enough to landing aguero or lavezzi!
and then just spend 20m again to left back.
I prefer Baines/Marcelo/Coentrao.
but not if coentrao at 30m, not worth.
YNWA Kenny!"

"We're doin some good business here. If every position is covered by a promising youngster who's more than capable of cutting it in the premiership we're gonna fly out the blocks next year and be able to sustain our form throughout. Who's gonna be our winger & who's our much needed LB? And why not another striker and central defender? Iâ??m enjoying this! Got every faith in KK and Comoli!"
"Agreed on the whole wingers thing. Thing is, there aren't many traditional wingers around these days. And if we are going to play 433 next season with Suarez-Carroll-Kuyt, we dont need wingers as such, as the CM would consist of Gerrard-Meireles-Henderson/Lucas. Rather than wingers I think just get players who can play wide and also in attack either side of Carroll, Aguero?"
"hammertime102!!!! theres loads of traditional wingers around!!! you obviously don't watch much football!! there hasn't so many like there is now for ages!! sanchez, hazarad, adam johnson, mata, elia, perotti, navas, menez, nani, valencia, payet, bale, lennon, ayew, jeffren, affelly. and thats just a few of them, to many to name them all"
"Hmm I really don't understand why we have signed him when we have so so many quality center mid fielders including possibly Aquilani.
Surely this money would be better spent elsewhere? I hope I'm proved wrong and Kenny has some fresh ideas on accommodating these players! "
"are u ****** kiddin me?
20 millions an n'gog for a player who hasen't played 2 good years and no international experience?
i don't know why we are always the stupid ones who payin prices no one else would do..
spent so much yet, don't think there'll be any big signings to come..
can't believe that.."
"I don't care that some World Class players are after CL football, challenge them to come to us and earn the right to play in CL, rather than take credit for what others have achieved for you. Thing is if we don't get best quality players then we can't and won't compete for the big prizes. "
"Reina, Johnson, Subotic, Agger, Jose Enrique/Aly Cissokho, Henderson/Hazard, Gerrard, Meireles/Adam, Young/Mata, Suarez, Carroll 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 Suarez on right?
Subs: Doni, Carra, Kelly, Lucas/Adam, Griezmann/Perotti/Marveaux, Kuyt, Wickham
Premier League Champions 2011-12
FA Cup Winners 2012
Carling Cup Winners 2012
We deffo need GK, CB, LB, LW, CM, RW, ST"
"My guess is that this is Kenny deciding that we looked far better 4-3-3 than 4-4-2 so is going for players that can play any of the mid or up front 3. Meireles, Gerrard and Henderson could all play either as part of mid 3 or front 3 (not at same time admitedly) as could aquilani if he comes back"
"SO I think Kenny is just looking at getting plenty of players that could play accross either mid or front 3. Just need LB now and two wingers in case we need to switch to 4-4-1 at any point, albeit that Glen J could move to RM with Kelly at RB if needs be so at least 1 winger needed."
"Hes a good player but a hell alot of money for a very yound unproven player. Cant we just get a team sorted kenny and then start spending on potential?"
