@Dan-The-Man What would be your get out price matey? Could easily be mid £1’s by the time the Euros start

I don't really have one in mind. Liverpool are so dominant and he's the captain, who plays every minute... all over the pitch if need be, so for me... I can't see where I'd get 1500 futures for the same money... that could do a better job... with better growth prospects.

I agree with you and @Julian-Noble that there could be another 50% rise over the coming months , especially on the back of the Champions League... record breaking Premier League run, the Euro's... etc. I'm curious to see what happens if he wins PB on Wednesday... because that would be 3 PB wins in 5 weeks and surely that would be a sign that when the Champions League rolls around, he's a great candidate for the single match gold days. We might even be being pessimistic at 50%.

@Dan-The-Man

Dan you're excited about what has turned out to be a great investment for you. It's allowed 😊👍

Trying not to be a dog with a bone I guess.

Hard not to be chuffed with this though mate. Especially at this time of the season where I recon he could see some really decent growth. Fingers crossed... and toes.. ha

@Dan-The-Man said in Jordan Henderson:

Not to keep beating the Henderson drum but here's a little nugget from the Mirror's interview with Robertson about his crossing ability that could be of interest.

"Our midfielders like chipping in as well. Henderson's always running in at the back post and I try and find him - I haven't quite mastered that yet but me and him are working on it!"

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/liverpool-ace-andy-robertson-explains-21243446

If it is a thing they are actively working on, perhaps we'll start seeing a few more assists/goals from Henderson, which could lead to improved PB/MB chances.

Lads... Sorry... I know I've done way too much talking about Henderson lately... but I think this is worth adding to the conversation... just because it could be important going forward.

Tonight after Henderson scored the header he was asked "How many goals have you scored with your head... I can't remember many".

His reply is the important part and it goes hand in and hand with the other nugget of info I posted a couple of weeks ago. (Hence bumping this thread).

Jordan Henderson: "That could be the first one.... to be fair... NORMALLY I'M PROTECTING ON CORNERS BUT RECENTLY I'VE BEEN GETTING IN THE BOX HAVEN'T I"

(Here's the video clip) https://youtu.be/Np9HYCbvQfA?t=598

When you combine that shift from defensive... to attacking focus on corners, with what Andy Robertson said about working on finding him more often with crosses at the back post... and the fact that when Fabinho came on tonight, Henderson took on a more attacking role, ultimately getting the assist, which won the game. It could be a sign that we're going to see more out of him from a PB perspective as the season ticks on.

2 weeks ago, when I pointed this out.... @Dan-w made the fair comment that he'd still have to hit the target and beat the keeper... well tonight he showed he can do that... here's hoping he can show it a bit more often... Like say... Wednesday night against West Ham, when there's only 1 other game that night :)

@Marve

That assist there though... :) second man of the match in a week?

Seriously fellas... there could be worse times to get in on Henderson than right now. He's gonna get you 2p worth of divs straight off the bat for the goal and assist and then in 6 days he plays against West Ham on a Wednesday night fixture where there's only one other game...

And...

Unless something weird happens... Henderson going to win PB... for the second time in a month, so, might just get some interest from PB seekers.

@Advinculas-Index

Watch him not win PB tonight lol. You know how these things go when the forum are watching ha.

@Marve said in Henderson vs Neymar:

jesus wept

In a team of Sterling, Kane, Trent... Jordan Henderson was just this week named England Player of the Year, by the kind of people who give these awards.

I'm not saying he's locked in for it, at best it's an outside shot... I'm just saying that there's a case building and that case gets impossible to ignore if England reach the final of the Euros and for what it's worth... the best manager in the world, named him captain of the most dominant club on the planet right now, it's not because Henderson makes a mean bacon butty.

Lads... worth point out that on Wednesday, Liverpool will be playing West Ham... the only other PB game that night is Inter vs Fiorentina., so that's another night where he has decent chance of PB.

@Chris-J

Nah.

He's a substantial percentage of my portfolio and it's sensible to diversify.

@Advinculas-Index

Yeah.... I mean... I thought I added enough... "this is only half serious" type remarks to say... "don't bet based on this" lol.

But everyone mocked the idea of Modric winning it too and he got it for winning the UCL and his country reaching the Final of the Euro's

@ScouseSte said in Henderson vs Neymar:

Henderson is up to 93p now @Dan-The-Man ... tempted to sell yet or still holding fast?

Nope... I'm sticking...

Haha nice timing 😉

Ha...

Had this massive reply written out... then saw the goal.

It's always tempting to sell when you're up so much on a player but I try to put myself in the shoes of someone who hasn't got him and ask, would I buy him now? And there's a lot of great reasons to buy him right now.

When you think about it... I bought him last March based on the idea that his price would rise because of the Champions League and Nations League... which is exactly what happened. So if I bought him last year for those reasons, why wouldn't I buy him this year given that the Euro's is a much stronger tournament than the Nations League and Liverpool look nailed on for their 3rd Champions League Final?

I've been tracking every news story on him all year and the talking heads are giving him all the plaudits these days. He's regularly referred to as the best midfielder on the planet, he's just picked up England Player of the Year... If he shows that same character for England in the Euro's, he's going to pick up a lot of fans and my bet is that a decent size portion of England fans will buy into him.

Historically... he spiked when Liverpool progressed through to this round of the Champions League and he climbed nicely all the way to the final last year, where he won PB. It's also worth noting that a lot of English players rose on route to the the Nations League... and the Euro's is a way bigger tournament than that, so his attraction as an England player is significant. Then you have to believe there's some potential MB for the first Liverpool captain to lift the Premiership title.

I've joked about this before... and I still sort of am... but what happens if Liverpool clean up... and England reach the final of the Euro's?

It's a really 'big if', so certainly don't make bets on it... but... he's already scooped England player of the year, with tons of pundits calling him the best midfielder in the world. There'd be a solid case to say that he'd deserve the Ballon d'Or. After all, he's the only English player in the Liverpool team, over 24.

Now.... I know that talk of Ballon d'Or sounds like utter fantasy land... but is it really? England did well at the World Cup, Modric picked it up a couple of years ago when nobody saw it coming because he did well in the Euro's and Henderson's got that underdog thing about him... but Sky gave him Man of the Match against Man Utd last week. He's played all over the pitch for Liverpool as they've picked up trophies galore... Who else do you give it to that has better credentials if he's won everything?
