Henry to re-sign on 19:02 - Jul 6 by bosh67 | I think Rodney is wrong on this one. We are about unearthing new talent and putting solid pros around them with experience. Henry I think has been excellent. He's done exactly what Derry did and jus t as well apart from the fact that everyone loved Derry and few give Henry any credit at all. For me Henry was one of our better players last season. He does the ugly stuff very well and with little fuss. |

Didn't punch anyone in the nuts in a key game or put himself out for 3 months celebrating a training ground goal, so fundamentally yes. | ![](/images/avatars/1638.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Henry to re-sign on 22:46 - Jul 6 with 2624 views | westberksr | Glad to see rodnee putting his years of managerial ans scouting experience to good use and spouting off to anyone that will listen. Would love to know what he's contributed to the game in the last 20 years, let alone the last 5. Isn't a season defining signing but equally not a season ending one. | ![](/images/avatars/1638.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Failed the medical at Hull,we took him,now playing for England and was one of the top scorer's last season,so I think we can take some credit. | ![](/images/avatars/11748.gif) |

Henry to re-sign on 13:10 - Jul 6 by Antti_Heinola | you mean the league where he couldn't get in the side ahead of Gary O'Neil and was dropped for most of the season after an abominable performance against Burnley? Club don't want him, Ramsey doesn't want him, they made that clear. Sadly he had the option to extend. Fervently hope we see very little of him. |
I bet he plays against Charlton. | ![](/images/avatars/11748.gif) |

He came to us as unproven. He will eave us a genuine proven talent. There are loads of potential talents out there waiting to be discovered. At QPR he became one of the leading goal scorers in the country. Only one Englishman scored more than him in the Premiership last year. We paid 4 million for him, which is peanuts in todays market. Even Hull were scared to take a chance on him. We are looking to get 15-20 million from him this summer. Yeah, I would say we can take credit for uncovering a hidden talent. | ![](/images/avatars/2677.gif) |

Henry to re-sign on 01:35 - Jul 7 with 2480 views | kensalriser | Nonsense Dylan. He was Burnley's top scorer for two seasons and when we bought him was one of the top strikers in the Championship. That is not unearthing new talent by any stretch. | ![](/images/avatars/3082.gif) |

Henry to re-sign on 03:13 - Jul 7 with 2454 views | bacardiinbrissie | Back to Henry, We need him or someone like him to protect the younger lads when the game gets scrappy. Im not his biggest fan but i think he can do a job for us in the championship & pt him alongside Ali (if he can stay bloody fit) and we've got the Derry/Ali partnership again....almost. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Henry to re-sign on 07:03 - Jul 7 with 2395 views | daveB | I don't really understand the negative reaction to Henry. It was a stupid contract to give him which had this clause in and the fact he wasn't offered a deal shows he wasn't really wanted this summer but he did ok last season, certainly one of our better players, if we play him alongside players who want to pass forwards rather than just replicate what he does then he's a useful player. | ![](/images/avatars/1922.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

thank god , at least dave didnt use the terms can break up play, seems a nice bloke, works hard does a job fills a hole in the squad keeps it simple unsung hero can operate his own central nervous system under his own volition he sounds like the keyboard player from 'sparks' i wonder if he knows the chords to 'beat the clock' id rather we spent his wages on better quality urinal cakes in the school end shithouse. reminds me of janice street porter riding bernie cliftons ostrich when presented with the ball . whoever was handing out these contracts a couple of years ago to carrion like henry was more than insane than ruldof hess . w12 must have been like fackin Waco, texas . this town aint big enough for the both of us.

Not sure either. I wasn't too put out by Barton laying in Rodney Marsh to be honest. He was before my time, so I never saw him in a Rangers shirt, but every time I've seen him since I've thought he's a bit of a pillock. | ![](/images/avatars/17595.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Henry to re-sign on 10:24 - Jul 6 by PhilmyRs | I’m not sure how people can knock Henry’s performances for us. This season especially he’ll be useful. We’ve bought a lot of attack minded players so someone with Henry’s positional sense and unselfish commitment to the cause will be invaluable. He’s not going to spray 50 yarders around the pitch and become our very own Pirlo but he can fill in when gaps appear at the back and help win us possession of the ball. As much as you need players with creativity and ones that are comfortable receiving the ball in tight areas, you also need people like Karl Henry. Good signing for another year. |
Great points. It is essential that we have at least one quality defensive midfielder in every starting eleven. Even Barcelona have that sort of player these days! RFA | ![](/images/avatars/5145.gif) |

Comparing Henry to Busquets! I hope you're on the wind up RFA! The good news is Ramsey and Ferdinand having had a chance to work with him last season and observe up close and personal his magnificent 'doing of a job' every week didn't want to keep him. They know what they're trying to build and there's no need to fill one of the slots in midfield with someone who is sh1t scared of receiving a football if there are any opposition players on the pitch at the same time for one year while he see's out a contact that was stupidly awarded him in the first place. In many ways next season isn't about next season, it's about the platform it can provide for the ones to follow. Ones that Henry and (assuming from the noises CR and Les made at the recent fans meeting about style of football) any other midfielder that permanently plays the ball back to the centre halves under pressure so that all they can do is lump it forward won't be required.
