Not entirely convinced we need another striker, but Henderson's certainly a good championship player.

Hopefully we're planning to sign a winger or two. Cotteril and Martin would be nice. =]

From one bunch of hoof ball merchants to another, he should settle in well at his new club as he won't have to change his game.

No bitterness at all but you've paid well over the odds for Henderson. He works hard, no doubting that, but he'll never be a 20 goal a season striker even in The Championship. He only scored 3 goals in the last 6 monoths of last season and missed two crucial peno's during the run in. He not quick at all and will get sent of a few times. To be fair he might do better with a decent striker along side him, have you got one of those? we didn't after King left. In Summary: A good target man not a natural goal scorer and not a patch on Beatie.
Good luck next year guys.

Crafty.anker,

This is a football forum - if you need to make comments like that, stick to knitting.

We wont be signing another target man to replace Hendo as our new style doesnt't need a target man as we're putting a complete stop to hoofball.

We still currently have a couple of decent strikers at the club.

Bladesontour:- I think you'll find my comment was that of a football nature. It is widely known throughout the game that both you and Watford are long ball specialists and I doubt anyone outside of either of your clubs would disagree.

Henderson is just the sort of player I would expect you to sign.

It's a passing game mate although I fully expect this to be alien to you. Surely you remember we passed rings around you when we did the double over you in the Premier League?
