In: Jordan Henderson
Jordan Henderson is the first capture for this transfer season. The talented 20 (soon to be 21) year old England Under-21 International joins the Reds on a deal worth up to Stg 16 million! As part of this deal, David Ngog was due to move the other way and become a Sunderland player. This part of the deal eventually fell through.
This signing further strengthens the policy adopted by Comolli and Dalglish to bring in young yet established talent, in this case with first-hand experience in PL football. Henderson was a Stadium of Light favourite and on most occasions was deployed by Steve Bruce on the right attacking side of midfield, meaning that this promising lad could possibly be the medium to long term replacement for Dirk Kujt.
Welcome aboard Jordan!

Fabulous signing. Quite excited to see this young lad mold into LFC football. So very pleased with NESV, FSG, The King, and Comoli
Half the reactions from fellow fans online on various fora have been positive, the other half scathing about the fees. I personally believe that if he fulfils the potential that Kenny saw in him, we will have a world class midfielder for an entire generation. Wonderful start to the pre season. The elation is kinda bummed out by the Phil Jones to the filthy Mancs transfer. Any other quality centre backs anyone? Cahill maybe, mertesacker?
Ngog is not gone! he is still here……you lying ….
LOL Allan! All corrected now dude, relax! :-)
