    I think a shrewd move by MON. Maybe the thought of some silverware plus Champions League next season will convince Henchoz to re-sign a longer term deal. :ynwacelti

    not really in my nature to moan about St Martin (apart from his lack of understanding of how to use subs) - but possibly players like Henchoz (not celtic minded) - or possibly the board are only interested in short term contracts initially because if Martin invokes his year out clause do players want to be there? - Open to opinion obviously

    makes it even better that the huns were after him a month ago and now with klos out they'll start to falter properly, can't wait for the 19th.

    Why do you always think this short term deal is so bad? A) His not exactly in his prime at 31, which he'll be at the end of the season, and we're trying to get ounger as it is. B) Who's to say he won't be another Juninho? I wouldn't want to sign unproven players in their 30s anything more than one year.

    well from what i hear here hes only 30 and well he has played in the champs league and the highest level with liverpool so i dont think he will find it hard to adapt to the SPL, hes a defender so as long as he keeps it tight at the back i dont care and as for juninho hes * and a big disappointment i cheer him when he comes on but i dont really expect him to do much

    you'll never walk alone
    its a smart move bringing him in the way he did
    a) hes gonna get playing time so well know whether or not he really belongs
    b) its a short contract....if he sucks...then were not tied down with another aging has-been
    c)not a win-win but not a lose-lose either....we dont pay him much, so if he doesnt pan out its not too bad, but he can definately help us to the double

    klos out...henchoz in.....good day

    so what's the story with Henchoz at Liverpool? what was the problem between him and Liverpool mgr. Benitez? anyone know?
     
  11. look at stan varga, an average player all through his career until MON signs him!

    even mick mccarthy admitted that he couldn't get anything outta varga and what such a classy manager MON is.

    henchoz is above average IMO at one stage him and hypia were the best pair of defenders in the UK and liverpool had the best defensive record in the EPL to proove it. the only thing that worries me is that was 4 years ago and he's not played in ages so it's gonna take time for him to get back to been as good as he was.
