Hoop Blah
brendywendy as a winger hes like kebe, but with less pace, and less end product
but can take free kicks, and scores more goals

hes a had a few chances, and not shown enough in any of them
short of giving him an undeserved run in the team to see if this works, i fail to see why he deservesa place in the squad, let alone 1st team

keep on loan or sell IMO


Yeah, just like Kebe!!

I still think Henry can come good unless there really is a problem with his attitude. He's certainly got the confidence and a bit of arrogance about him, but I don't see that as a problem. What would be a problem is if he's unwilling to put in his shift, listen or learn.

I do think it's funny that Ian is all for giving Davies a place in the first team but at the same time getting rid of Henry who has proved to be just as good if not better.


Don't think Henry has proved anything of the sort. Davies is less lightweight and more versatile, plus offers genuine pace, something Henry doesn't have.

I'd love Henry to be good, he's exactly the sort of winger I think we could do with, but he hasn't really shone in his loan, hasn't really impressed in his few chances here and reputedly has an attitude problem (although apparently so does Davies).

That is a bit unfair on Henry. He has done very well at Millwall both this season and last season. unfortunately he has been injured for some weeks recently so is not playing at present so I assume his loan has now ended.

He has not shown such good form at Championship level yet but I still hope he will come good.

He was getting pretty mixed reviews this season at Millwall from what I heard, which suggests he may have regressed slightly.

I found it very odd that Rodgers, a manager that should have know his strengths, seemed to be trying to play him centrally whenever he was given a chance.

I thought he'd done all right at Millwall too. It's just for us he hasn't shone much unlike Davies in his brief spell in the team. Henry's a bit like Mooney in that respect, though none of them have had that much chance here to show what they can do.

The one he is currently on (worded quite specifically). I thought he'd not impressed Millwall fans much on his return. Although this may have been early on. I certainly haven't heard since that he is really impressing again.

You are wrong re this as Millwall fans were raving about him on 606 and before his injury he scored 5 in just 5 (or possibly 6) starts which is excellent going.

Apparenlty they love him and want to keep him. He has been injured for quite a while though so maybe thats what your getting mixed on

To be brutally honest, It'll have been something posted on here, so how reliable it was I don't know. And it could have been after only one or two games.

He's not someone I particularly want to be rid of, just a good bet to make a few quid on. I'd just as soon sell Kebe, but I can't think who'd be daft enough to pay much for him, that he'd actually go to.

For someone who claims to be a bit intelligent and considered you do come up with some ill-informed tosh!

I'm too trusting. Besides, it wasn't exactly genius to try and make an issue out of my wanting to keep Davies and suggesting Henry for sale.
