Jeff Hendrick (on loan at Sheffield Wednesday)

[Shearergol]

I vaguely remember him being a goal threat at Derby and looking at his record I guess I was wrong. I still think it’s a solid signing given out situation and squad depth but I don’t see him ousting either Shelvey or Hayden.

 

He's a mixture of both but better than neither as individuals. Reckon they'll rotate the 3 of them (knowing Bruce he'll play all three and drop Almiron)

That would make a pretty good player tbf, but I'll reserve judgement until I see for myself.

He's no worse than what we have, but not the answer to changing a pretty shitty team. The problem is there's so much to fix.

We are always going to have a pretty shitty team with this regime so there's not much to fix really. The aim is to juggle our resources while building a team which will finish mid-table at best and hopefully avoid relegation. Maybe Jeff Hendricks will help us do that and Mike will make a bit of money.

Yeah, could see him slot into midfield with Hayden and Shelvey in more of a 4-3-3 setup.

 

Almiron left, ASM right and goodness knows who at striker.

[Deuce]

Sometimes a squad needs a few of this type of player. Dependable if unspectacular. Trouble is, most of our squad is exactly this.

 

[TheInfiniteOdyssey]

Good luck to him, have to be honest and admit it's not a particularly ambitious signing, but said the same for players like Clark and Fernandez.

 

Hope he can do well, gives us an additional option in midfield in any case

[toontownman]

Taking his medical today. Did he fail the one he took at the weekend then?

[xLiaaamx]

Feels like a worse version of when Ki signed.

[joeyt]

Think he's better than Ki

[jackyboy]

This could bring back a few thousand fans

[GWN]

Wish I gave a fuck.

Gayle as the striker.

Almost like a new signing!

Shame about Covid restrictions or they could've broken out the scaffolding from when Shearer signed to let the throngs of returning support welcome him in a way he deserves.

[Shearergol]

It's weird to think I'll never watch him play for us.

This isn't a dig but how old are you? Just wondering why now, after the past few years, is this the end for you?

 

 

 

43. I barely watched last year either tbf. Was more interested again under Rafa, and I suppose what I did watch last season was out of curiosity.

 

Haven't been to a home game for nearly 6 years though.

[Mikky]

Can play in 234 positions according to Bruce

Still can’t look past the Jack Colback signing here like. He had an average season in his first year, even popped up with a few goals. See similar here.

Both have shit hair and shit tattoos as well.

No chance man. Hendrick at the very least has some size and strength and doesn't get pushed around like a small child.

 

Those years we had Colback and Anita as a midfield pair getting dominated and manhandled man. Lord have mercy. Deeply depressing moments.

[mrmojorisin75]

He's literally done fuck all at PL level right? Absolutely nothing of note that I'm aware of.

Colback’s level was similar to Hendrick’s upto after his first season, like. He was just an average Premier League plodder. If Colback was Irish or Welsh I reckon he’d have 20 odd caps between say 2012-16.

I hear what you're saying. There was just something so pathetic about Colback's lack of stature and strength and how he got pushed around and dispossessed of the ball that I don't think will be an issue with Hendrick.

 

It's really what frustrated me most about Colback, rather than his general bog standard midfield play.

[Optimistic Nut]

All the football I watch I couldn’t tell you what Hendrick is good at, bad at or what. Just a nothing signing for me.

[LV]

Pashun. Grit. Sliding tackles. Beef.

 

And that’s the Hendrick way.
