I understand most people here don't care much about Henderson as a football player anymore and rather about his actions off the pitch, but as an Ajax fan this is big news.
The squad is a mess and at least on paper Henderson is perfect. Great addition to a very young and often invisible midfield as well as an experienced player who could be a terrific influence on a group lacking true leaders and role models.
Honestly though I don't really know him and am just repeating what I've read. I realized the other day I have confused him with James Milner in the past.
I'm hoping Henderson will be a big success of course, looking forward to seeing him.
I could see him being a good addition to your squad in this context. He's certainly got the experience and leadership ability. And assuming there is no major language barrier he could be a great fit, not least because he probably has a season of two left in his tank in a less frenetic league than the PL.
There should be no language barrier, English is very well spoken in the Netherlands, and Dutch is possibly the easiest language for an English speaker to learn
Good luck!
I like a lot your username. I hope Ajax recover from these bad results and situation. And agree (100%) with you about Henderson and the paper he can take on the squad.
