I think Henderson is technically very good. I watched him for the Under 21s against Serbia and whilst he wasn't quote as anonymous as he is for Liverpool, he still doesn't look at all threatening. He looked to play the ball sideways all the time, then made a run to nowhere. He seems to me to be lacking that edge to his play, where he'd cut the defence apart with a through ball or spot a gap and run through it with the ball. Hopefully it's down to a lack of confidence rather than lack of ability.
Yeah, who wants a footballer who keeps the ball, passes to a team mate and moves into a position to receive it again?
We've already got Allen and Lucas! Henderson doesn't really progress play, which I guess is what Rogers wants him to do. Keeping possession in the middle of the park doesn't get us anywhere, as shown in our last 5-6 league matches.

We should never have spent the best part of 50 million last summer on Henderson, Downing and Adam.

Henderson may develop into a decent squad filler but he definetly wasn't what we needed last summer and he will NEVER be worth what we paid for him.

RT, I'm eager, literally bursting at the seams, to hear your opinions on the stadium expansion plans?

I know it's been one of your criticism of the current owners that they've spent all this time and delivered "nothing" on the stadium front.

Allen and Lucas are different players. For me, Henderson is Allen-lite, with more ability to play wider, though not particularly effective there. Should we have paid £16m for him? Probably not, but he's far, far away from being as poor as people make out.

So we spend 2 years to come out with the idea of expanding Anfield. It took 2 years to get to that, speaks volumes.

The Faulty Towers bit is the rumours that the planned redevelopment means we have to buy or cpo properties that we've sold during this time. Yes some of the houses we need to get rid of we used to own.

The owners are just maximising their profits if this 'planned' redevelopment ever happens. The earliest the work can begin seems to be 2 years away with a disproportionate number of the new seats 'corporate'.

My opinions on the matter include

- too little too late
- i'll believe it when i see it
- all about short term gain for Henry and a missed opportunity for Liverpool
- as nostalgic as it is to remain at Anfield we really need to start looking to the future.
- would have preferred a new stadium.

Personally i like the idea of liverpool staying at Anfield, Tradition in our great game seems to be waining year by year

Sadly like ours at spurs it will seem highly likely that the stadium will take on a new name which i feel will be an awful shame especially for a club with the impressive illustrious history that Liverpool have

I can't see them turning down some sort of naming rights though.

It'll probabaly end up as the "Warrior Anfield Stadium"

Or something equally st.

Like Newcastle's ground - no-one except footy commentators and news people ever used the new name?

I would imagine it would extremely difficult for anyone to rename the stadium.

Then again, we used to have a McDonalds in the Kop, did we not?
