Has a bid been accepted? He's been underwhelming at Real to say the least, at times he's looked a pretty pointless footballer.We can say what we want about the fee, if Liverpool land Henderson they've got a promising young English talent.
Whilst I would have felt underwhelmed had we signed him I wouldn't have been disappointed.
He'll be a good buy for them I reckon although I expect them to use him on the wing.

Gago is a good player with plenty to prove. That's the sort of signing Liverpool need to make. Risky but a lot of upside.
the cadena ser link was jeffren (barca), not gago.
I don't see why they need to sign him. They have Lucas.
Gago is mediocre. He finds it hard to make space for himself in the slow Spanish League, he'll get eaten up alive over here.
Yep, and it's been denied almost immediately too
Cash + Ngog
Hmm...I don't know if this is a good thing or bad thing.
I've seen him play about 2 really good games. Other than that he's seemed average. Seems like Liverpool are once again gambling on potential like they did with Carroll.

looks like Fergie lost interest then.
is this lad so special? I haven't seen him many times. The few times I saw him, I was not too impressed
Does this mean they pay 20m plus N'Gog or that 20m figure includes the value of N'Gog?
After our reported interest I kept a close eye on him, especially as Welbeck was also there. I have to say I was not at all impressed and was desperate for us NOT to sign him.
20m sounds like an insane amount of cash for him and it shows just what a bargain Ashley Young will be for whoever gets him.
Now that our interest in him has died I reckon SAF has settled on Rodwell as his young an' learnin'.

It'd have been £18m without N'Gog.
No, it means Kenny threatened to give Sunderland N'Gog unless they paid Liverpool not to.
20 million? Seriously?
35 million for Carroll and 20 million for Henderson. Spending heavily on English talent.

The Times: "£13m+Ngog for Henderson"
Has Bruce even seen Ngog play. I can't believe that they've valued Ngog at £7m. Sunderland are insane. Good deal for Liverpool.

Sunderland asked for the red beach ball. But it was not available..so had to settle for N'Gog.
Ngog valued at £7 million? Has the world gone fecking mad?
Is Steve Bruce starring in the remake of Brewster's Millions?
The Sunderland fans are pretty irate about the deal:
13 million plus ngog - RTG Sunderland Message Boards
I still can't believe that Liverpool have sold Ngong for 3.6x the amount they bought him for, this was after people saw what a pointless player he actually was.
King Kenny has beaten Mr. Ferguson to the punch!!!!!!
7 million for N'gog.
We should atleast get 10 million for Gibson should Bruce come in for him.

Without a doubt. I can't believe that Bruce has agreed to that valuation of Ngog. The telegraph are about to run the story too.
And raped Master Bruce at the same time. Sunderland were on the brink of getting £18.5M for Henderson and now are getting £5.5M less and a worthless striker........way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory Brucie.
So much to about on this deal, Ngog deemed to be worth money, Henderson costing 13 million, scousers wetting themselves over the signing etc.
Im delighted, this finally puts an end to all the Henderson to us rumours thank christ, next Charlie adam, come on king kenny you know it makes sense!

the only reason Henderson went there is Fergie had other targets. The amount bandied around for him was about 18 to 20 million.
N'Gog does seemed to have been overpriced.

Hed have been overpriced at 7 million peanuts, hes utter fecking dump, another Benitez masterstroke.
Ngog
The first "article" in this thread, in all it's glory, lest we forget.
Well done, John Richardson, of The Daily Express. Well done.

Where's Yolkie ??? Or the guy who said Henderson was done and dusted ?
Why would Mata want to go to Liverpool exactly?
I'm not saying it isnt his time to move, it might well be but in the past 6 months he's been linked strongly with Barcelona and Inter. So why would he forfeit automatic qualification in the champions league that he worked hard to achieve at Valencia, to go and play without european football at Liverpool?
Cant see any of Valencia's better players seeing Liverpool as a good move at the moment.

Agree... Mata to Liverpool would only downgrade his current profile...
Mata definitely has the talent to move to the top, hopefully he realises this.
First when I heard the deal was around £20m, I wanted to laugh at Liverpool but I know that they got for almost £7 million, I have to laugh at Sunderland.
I was a feeling the fee was £18m and the £2m maybe was depending on him playing so many games for Liverpool or playing maybe for England or something like that.

Thankfully United didn't sign him. This signing will make me very happy, I don't think he's done much to prove his worth. Charlie Adam is much better in my opinion and still I wouldn't want him at United unless all else fails.
Won't improve Liverpool by much either. Meireles was their best player last season, still have Gerrard (although he's injury prone) and then there is Lucas who was actually pretty decent last season. Henderson does strengthen their squad but really nothing more than that. Meireles is much better in my opinion and Gerrard will always be first choice (unless they feck it up again and start playing him on the wings). Carroll and Suarez will play up front. Like I said, it doesn't really improve the quality if their midfield a whole lot... well, he's a bit better than Lucas but not by much (at least not yet). They really need defenders and wingers, the number of average and useless players in those positions is what they should address.
But hey, hopefully they don't
Edit: But in the long run, it might pay off... MIGHT.

serious question...if henderson is 20 million, is ramsey 40 million and wilshere 60 million?
I actually think both N'gog and Henderson are a bit underrated on her. I can understand why that would be the case though.
Ngog being at Liverpool meant there is a tendency to exaggerate his weaknesses and of course want him to be crap. And in the panic that set in when we thought we were in for Henderson, I think a lot of people lost sight of what type of player he is. He's maybe not United quality but he easily has the potential to become a mportant player for a PL side.
I have a feeling that in the long run both clubs will be satisfied with this deal.

Pleased he's not coming to United. That's all that matters. Won't help Liverpool much.
Thank god. Thought this thread was bumped because we signed him.
