The first big transfer move is all but done. Jordan Henderson, a staple in the Sunderland midfield since 2008, is set for a move to Anfield as Liverpool offer 20M pounds and David N’Gog in exchange. Good pick up for Liverpool. Not only are they able to secure the rights to a very talented, young central midfielder (who now has the opportunity to be groomed by world-class Steven Gerrard), they also retain value from a player they had virtually no use for in David N’Gog. That’s not to say that N’Gog isn’t a promising young talent, but after the dual signing of Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez in January (not to mention versatile, established offensive weapons in Dirk Kuyt and the aforementioned Gerrard), there is no room on the pitch for N’Gog. --------------------------------------------------
Jordan Henderson to Liverpool, Phil Jones to Manchester United, Juventus to the U.S.
