I'm hoping the Kalvin Phillips talk will materialise into our midfield signing for this winter. Don't even want to think about Henderson unless I'm forced to.

100%.  I’d much rather see Phillips in B&W first game in February. 

[The Butcher]

Not sure what Henderson would offer us atm. Looked finished in his last season at Liverpool.

I think the Sunderland connection is a bit overblown in reality. Yes he’d get absolute pelters from them lot, but it’s completely inconsequential in the wider context.

 

If he came in, performed well and made notable contributions, I don’t think he’d have a particularly rough time from our fans.

 

I don’t see a move happening though.

I don’t either - though again, an ageing Paul Bracewell came in and did an excellent job for us.  There’s scores of Mackems who’ve played well in B&W.

I don’t see it happening, but I think it would be a good move. Adds some experience to the midfield and another body.
 

Question marks as to whether he can still run and play at the high energy that he’s know for, is probably the reason why it won’t happen. That and his wages. But I actually think that if this transfer happens and nobody in the league cares about the Saudi influence 

[christ]

I’d sign Hendo if only for the seethe it would generate on Wearside.

[khay]

Of all the Saudi league based player and we get him. 

 

Not sure his legs are up for Howe Ball.

And he’s not at a PIF club - so weirdly, our ownership wouldn’t have owt to do with it.  Ahem. 

[Dokko]

Be like signing geremi, his legs have completely gone. No thanks.

 WEARSIDE! You mean?

[PauloGeordio]

It’s like “what story can I conjure up for those Geordies to click like fuck on after a derby match?”  

[TheBrownBottle]

I would draw the line in the sand for Jordan Pickford mind.  As in I’d have to do it for him, given the poor cunt couldn’t touch his own toes.

I'm a huge fan of Henderson, but he's finished now. Signing him to wind up the Mackems is worth it though.

Getting a fee for Longstaff makes almost too much sense

There’s plenty I’d sell before Longstaff. Not quite as important as he was last season but his drop off also coincides with the team dropping off. When he’s on form he’s very effective.

[sushimonster85]

Longstaff isn't going anywhere as long as we continue to have issues not having enough home-grown players to register a full squad for European competitions.

It definitely makes less sense as a short term move, but as a long term move, with Miley's ascendance, Tonali returning next season, and Longstaff's recent form I don't know where he fits into PIF's lofty ambitions

[ponsaelius]

I wouldn't want to sell Longstaff but the issue with FFP is it actually encourages clubs to sell homegrown players for accounting purposes. A big fee for Longstaff (25 mill say) would free up breathing space for a load of signings. There's no doubt the club are going to consider the sale of pretty much all of our players depending on the interest and fees involved. That's the reality of where we're at.

With an injury crisis and a banned CM until next season.  No they couldnt. 

[Ikon]

If offered a very good fee then i'd sell. As a footballer i don't rate him highly at all. Very much like him though.

Yep, right now it would be stupidity, but in the summer him and Miggy are probably our only players we could move on for a fee that we would be happy to lose, possibly Wilson too but his is more injury related than quality.

[janpawel]

Feel like Howe would absolutely love a prime Henderson in this team, all his qualities are physical and leadership based 

 

But yeah he's so washed and Phillips would offer more for 6 months

Why are they trying to Dragusin to this?

[thomas]

Genuine question for club finances people who track this stuff closer than I: under ffp currently, and barring any massive transfers out, do we stand a realistic chance of getting any quality additions in?

 

I feel like I might be best served just napping until February.
