matty f Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 "Sheffield United have signed striker Darius Henderson from Championship rivals Watford for £2m" Surely this indicates that they will struggle next season? or does anyone think that they can still challenge for promotion?

matty f Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 If they get rid of their manager they will have a chance yeah, true but are they likely to sack aidy boothroyd? is he not still regarded as a saviour for getting them to the prem a few years ago? or will that opinion have changed because of last seasons performances?

Nibor Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 That's a blow for them really. Last year of parachute payments too. Sheff Utd are going to be a bloody difficult side to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought that getting rid of that donkey Henderson for £2million was excellent business for Watford.His scoring record is dire and he has no skill at all.

spectator Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 2 million for that sack of shite!! hahahahahahahahaha sheff utd have been done! hendersons an absolute carthorse. Graham Taylor said in 1998:- for £2m you don't get a Player that can kick with both feet ! Add inflation to that, what does that equate to now ? Henderson's fee just re iterates GT's views back then, maybe today for £2m you don't get a Player that can kick with ONE foot. if watford sell tommy smith, however, they will be in trouble...

Redhyde Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I thought Bootroyd had come up with a new brainwave from the title of the thread. They were going to try lumping it from the forwards to the defenders too. He's a future England manager is Boothroyd. Sad isn't it. Henderson's a big player for them. Very odd decision to let him go.

BristolCity1992 Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Doley was crap Ellington was a flop Henderson is a donkey 2 million is superb Shittu will be a loss though I think Watford are having a clear out it will be interesting to see who they bring in I would not write them off yet, Aidy ran out of ideas last season but I think he wants to play more attacking and passing football next season.

BITW Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I don't rate Henderson. don't get me wrong there are worse players in this league but 2 mill for him IMO is the best bit of business Watford have ever done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internetjef Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I'm worried they will try and ambush coventry clinton morrison deal, which could then jeopardise our move for Mifsud. Watford fan tells me aidy has finally given up with long balls at henderson, and has decided to play 4-3-3. that will be mcanuff on one side and tommy smith on the other. they need a leading man striker though so thats whol theyl be in market for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the full report: Link Could Tommy Smith be an option, I think him and Johnson know each other very well from their days at Watford. Can play on the right side of midfield, left hand side to cover for McIndoe and also an option up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they would go for the privacy thing more than anything really as say if they are near meltdown but are also near some finicial back up and the press never hear which would they want the press to make them worse and all the fans be miserable?
