I'm not so sure there's nothing there , terp. Reportedly talks re new contract have been ongoing for weeks with no progress . Hendo is now 31 so it's possible that the club is reluctant to offer a long term deal in a stance similar to what we saw with Gini.
Not just the Mail , Sam . Pearce , Ornstein too. Nowadays I rule out nothing in football but I'd hope to see Hendo stick around for a couple more seasons . I think he still has plenty to contribute to the team.
I was one of the few who was a HUGE proponent of signing him a decade ago (thank go we have threads going back that far!). I've been impressed the way he has adapted his game and grown within the club and tuned his leadership abilities. All that said, he'll be 33 at the end of his current contract. Fitness-wise, James Milner he is most definitely not. This is similar to the Gerrard dilemma - a player that is an influential presence and has (or will be in this case) aged out of the side hanging around on the fringes wanting to play more makes it hard to have that natural succession in the squad that is necessary for sustained success -see how Hendo stepped up in the wake of the Gerrard departure. How would his development progressed if SG had hung around for two more seasons? Or is Hendo willing to add a year to his deal at revised terms to reflect the fact that he'll be 7th choice midfielder and 5th choice CB? I love the guy, but we should be in his ear about the fact that he can retire a Red legend in 2023 or he can move on at that time a Red legend and follow Stevie's path to MLS or back to Sunderland.
Brighton will move to replace Arsenal-bound Ben White with Liverpool defender Nathan Phillips in a £10m transfer. Liverpool are one of four Premier League clubs monitoring the situation of Chelsea teenage prospect Lewis Bate, who is out of contract at Stamford Bridge next month.
Normally, I'd be with most of you regarding the Daily Manc. But that story was by Dom King-- he'd have got wind of aught, be it the Henderson camp putting pressure or something else.
According to Dave Maddock , Hendo's demands are. - Demand the club makes clear if they want him to stay. - Seek a transfer THIS summer, IF it is clear he isn’t valued by the money men - Avoid a Wijnaldum situation where he eventually leaves on a free.
1 - Yes, we want you to stay. 2 - We are not selling you. 3 - You can always retire in a couple years. Or we'll give you one more year max - your injury history has been complicated in recent seasons.
As if Hendo is going to undo all the good will he’s earned over the past few years to force his way out this summer over money or an egotistical stance of “show you want me to stay”.
Selling Gruijic puts us at 17 team non-home grown players. 17 is the exact amount that clubs are allowed to register in the squad. That means to bring in any more foreign players, more would still need to be moved out. Shaqiri, Origi, and Minamino are all possibilities. The club must not be worried about it, otherwise they would not have given a contract to Adrian when there was homegrown options out there for third choice keeper.
Liverpool could swoop for Odsonne Edouard in a bargain deal with Celtic. A move to Liverpool remains the ‘greatest probability’ for France international Houseem Aouar.

Liverpool are lining up a surprise move for West Ham winger Jarrod Bowen this summer. John Aldridge has told the Sunday World that Liverpool will have to ponder selling Mohamed Salah this summer if he rejects a new contract. Liverpool are leading the race to sign French midfielder Houssem Aouar in the summer transfer window.

Liverpool are monitoring the contract impasse between Franck Kessie and AC Milan this summer, ahead of a potential move for the midfielder. West Ham will not let Jarrod Bowen leave on the cheap this summer amid reported interest from Liverpool. The London club have put a £35 million price on the wide midfielder. Wolves would not consider selling Pedro Neto unless a “huge offer” came in for him amid interest from Liverpool and Tottenham. Liverpool are reportedly ‘weighing up a bid’ for Sparta Prague striker Adam Hlozek. Liverpool should finally land Timo Werner amid reports he’s open to leaving Chelsea. West Ham are keen to sign Liverpool centre-back Nat Phillips this summer. Bayer Leverkusen have made an approach in order to gauge the £15M-rated Nat Phillips’ interest in returning to Germany on a permanent deal.
yep - pick a player name, a team name, and a price tags. push "execute" then take the rest of the day off.
I mean, I go to a site that is a rumor aggregator and then open the 'article' to see the name of the player and then write my own copy - I could definitely transition into a career as a rumor-monger.
