It’s for the best - he should have taken Souness old seat at Sky & got stuck into Roy Keane.
Looking at that manager overview he can enjoy being there for a year before he gets sacked.
This is a good and legitimate question and maybe merits its own thread. I think even with Milner, Hendo and Thiago gone, we still have enough experience and leadership in the group between Robbo, Van Dijk, Salah, Alisson and Fabinho. We’ve added MacAllister who is a natural leader, Szoboszlai who is already a Hungary captain and the likes of Gakpo, Konate and Trent look ready to take responsibility on their shoulders if you allow them. Maybe it’s time to cull some old branches to make room for the new growth.

For me I'm on board with this. To be honest, I don't want him to go unless it's for a stupid fee. He deserved as much of a send off as bobby and milner got (if not muc more), and it'd be a crying shame if he didn't get it.
Agreed I think Trent would make a great captain
I think it would be *stupid* to let Hendo leave now - it's a team in transition, and we just lost one of our most important leaders in Milner.
Keep hendo.
Keep hendo.
That's a good point
Mane had one year left on his deal and informed Klopp that he wanted to leave. After he said that he wanted to join Bayern our hands were tied in regards to a fee.
True and it's a damn shame we let his contract run out like that considering how much Spurs are asking for Kane.
Anyway, I'd be very surprised if he's sold. I think Hendo is looking to finish his England career with the Euro's next summer. Going to Saudi Arabia or whatever would definitely end his chances of being part of the squad.
At the same time, can he really expect to be in the starting XI with our two new midfield signings?
At least at this stage, a player moving to Saudi Arabia would be like moving to a retirement home and collecting a massive pension. I would be surprised if Henderson is ready to do that, and the only way it will happen is if he absolutely wants to.
From our point of view, it wouldn't be ideal to lose so many experienced midfielders at the same time. Yes, we have two new midfielders, and might well see one or even two more, but I wouldn't be expecting them to all start together straight away. It will take a bit of time. Unfortunately, if you have a slow start in the Premier League then your season is pretty much over, and you are more likely to have a slow start if you are waiting for your new signings to click.
I wouldn't expect Henderson to play that many full games next season, because he wasn't even doing so last season, but I would expect him to play a part in the majority of games, especially in the first half of the season.

Without a doubt. But they are footballers(mostly thick cunts) living in a medieval kip. It'll end in tears.
Hendo's influence on the pitch might be waning but it is worth bearing in mind that he was completely overworked last season which will have been partly the cause for that,
His influence elsewhere will be as vital as ever and with the loss of the leadership of Milner already, I feel it would be a grave mistake to let Hendo leave and
I would be surprised if it is something he wants to do right now

I doubt they would see much of Saudi Arabia beyond their huge, luxury, purpose-build communities.
The goalposts shifted when Ruben Neves moved in all honesty. Now it seems everyone will move. Henderson doesnt strike me as a person that would move at this stage of his career though. Maybe a year or two when he's close to retiring.
I’d imagine Hendo would be prepared to wait a year or maybe 2 and go on a free to Saudi - particularly if he fancies an international swan song at the Euro’s.
He also strikes me as the kind of guy that would want to play a part building a new leadership team before handing the keys over.

This, then a season with Sunderland and a year in a league making money from beheaders.
I will be very surprised if Hendo agrees for the move with Euro 2024 in sight. By the way, I also think, if Hendo wants to prolong his club career, he should be retiring from international football. Take a look at Milner. Also, don't think Hendo is physically as robust as Milner and relies a lot more on his energy than Milner. So it is even more critical for him.
Who gives a toss!
