[Archived] Return Of Henchoz

[gazsimm]

Another year of Henchoz I feel sick...

why do you feel sick, i think he's a good player to have as a back up for us

Thought Krislu was being a bit harsh as well.

He's a player who ain't improving the team at all in my opinion. I thought it was embarrassing when we signed him and I was sure he wouldn't get much playing time. Now it seems Hughes thinks he is good enough to hold down a regual place in our starting XI, and that really is sad.

I just hope Samba can show some quality and Nelsen to stay fit, because I do not want to see Henchoz playing 20-30 games a season for us!

Henchoz hasn't stepped a foot wrong since he's been back in the team that i can remember so he hasnt given any reason to drop him. If someone plays well, they should keep their place in the team (see Derbyshire!)

I highly doubt that he will play a major part in the first team next season, but he has showed that he can be depended on when called into the team so he deserves this extension in my opinion. I

Its not like hughes signed him to be first choice, but injuries have dictated that he got his chance and he's grabbed it with both hands!

Hechoz has always been quite nippy for a Centre Half. He is composed in possession and experienced. Cant see him being first choice but he is more than adequate cover particularly if we can keep going in Europe.

Henchoz has done nothing wrong, i am glad we have signed him on for a further season

He provides decent cover for the centre half position, nothing more, nothing less. If everyone is fit he's probably the last centre half to get picked (depending on how good this Samba lad is). Assuming it's not a large contract, I can accept this move by Hughes. I'd much rather have an experienced international back there than a kid from our underachieving academy.
