As if Brendan Rodgers and Liverpool didn't have enough of a headache dealing with they may have another potential nightmare on their hands in re-signing vice-captain
report that Hendo's future at Anfield is in major doubt after the midfielder apparently turned down a new deal worth £80,000 per week. All this despite the 24-year-old recently saying he sees
The potential contract snafu for Henderson, whose deal expires at the end of next season, has drawn the interest of one Jose Mourinho in north London, who'd surely love to pick Liverpool's pocket for the services of a man who could soon be named team captain.
Whether will be around to see it or not is most definitely in doubt, but the Chilean boss knows what Manchester City need if they are to return to the top of the Premier League.
"Big teams need to sign big players," His City squad travel to Crystal Palace Monday to try, even if in vain, to keep pace with league leaders Chelsea and a resurgent Arsenal.
"You see Real Madrid, Manchester United, Chelsea, Barcelona and Bayern Munich, all the big clubs - they all do it. It is important to have big names."
Fair point from the City boss. Even though his roster isn't exactly lacking star power, it's arguably been a few windows since they've landed a big fish (apologies to Wilfried Bony). His point may be even better taken in light of the rumours circulating that and are all likely candidates to ply their trade somewhere other than the Etihad after this summer.
A surging Arsenal, fresh off a look poised as ever to compete for the Premier League title if not this year than next. To get there, they need two specific players -- and -- according to Gunners legend Charlie Nicholas.
The 54-career-goals man for Arsenal was quoted in saying that Real Madrid's Varane and Southampton's Schneiderlin are the two additions that could push Arsene Wenger's men across the Prem title finish line in first place.
"It's the defence and the protection of the defence that need attention," said Nicholas. "He [Wenger] recognises that now."
You'll have to wait until the summer to see if Wenger heeds the Scotsman's advice.
