Tombo Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Misses the next game should they go through. Which would be England should we go through. So bittersweet for me. Pros: Dangerous midfield man missing a game. Cons: Would have been good to see him against us, see how he performs against Premier League players at a high level. We know how utterly pants Hendrick can be from time to time so we're not going to get one of his famous invisible performances working in our favour.

ramit Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Great to see such a spirited team performance from Ireland and two Derby players on the pitch. There might be some tired legs in the second half in that baking sunshine but willpower can carry a team a long way. Go on Ireland, do it to em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is doing alright against plenty of prem players and seri A players today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Weak in the tackle, poor decision making in the box from a great opportunity, passing the ball and then hiding behind his man so he can't be given it back, brainless actions getting him a card and a ban. He's offered very little so far today. Proof that it's the same Jeff Hendrick playing for both us and Ireland, and not an imposter. I still can't quite figure out how France were awarded a free kick for the foul that injured him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 All about opinions but I don't see it that way, I am also pleased to be seeing Derby county players playing in the quarter finals of the European championships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Contain Nuts Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 It's fine if you don't want to honestly analyse / pay attention to a player's performance, I can't just ignore the details and say "he's done alright" though I'm delighted to see Derby players out there too, btw.

Carl Sagan Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Robbie Keane says he urged Spurs to sign Hendrick 4 years ago: https://www.rte.ie/sport/euro-2016/2016/0623/797569-keane-hails-brady-and-hendrick/ Love Jeff though I do (and what a haircut!) it would be handy for the promotion kitty if they came in again for him now.

We don't need to sell anyone we don't want to sell. Didn't you get sick of seeing talented players leave under Clough? Sam Rush turned up and assured us our days as a selling club are over. I don't want that to change. We produce academy players, we keep academy players. We've not invested this much money in our academy to be Tottenham's feeder club.

Zag zig Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Was dead on his feet at the end. Hope he gets a bit if rest and can come back to give Pearson a real selection headache for next season. Regardless of how effective he's been today against the host nation he's had a good tournament and his stock has risen considerably outside Derby.

Personally I don't think he is good enough - I certainly don't think he would get in our starting 11 if everyone was fit - he has too many games where he goes missing. If anyone came in with a reasonable offer I would bite their hands off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 He's good enough to play at the top level as he's shown in Euro 16. He's not looked out of place against Italy, Belgium, Sweden or France, three of whom have every chance of winning it. We need a manager who can get him in the right formation and the right frame of mind to do it week in, week out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted McMinn Football Genius Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 On reflection Jeff Hendrick has become quite valuable during the tournament and I think we will see both he and Keogh sold in the ensuing weeks. Not ITK just an observation/opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being picked by one of the best British managers of the last 20 odd years consistently. Over 200 appearances for his club. Strikes me as a player whose pretty consistent to me.

Dimmu Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 In "Which midfielder would you sell" thread I said this before Ireland games: Hendrick - he's the weird one. If we continue with 4-3-3, he would be the one I'd sell. But 4-4-2 might suit him better. Funny old game this football. First and foremost I'd try to mould him to a winger, no matter what tactics we will have. Euro's didn't change my views at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIWY Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Seen this chant going around on the Internet, reckon we could sing the chorus of it seeing as we've always needed a Hendrick chant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If things pan out unfavorably for Jeff over the summer, we could always go with: He's Jeff Hendrick, He's got a manager who is quite eccentric, He won't be warming our bench for a bit, 'Cos he's doing time!

valleyram Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 on his day very very good but we don't see it nearly enough and if everyone is fit he wont play so I would say a big bid comes in we should sell him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He achieved a level of performance that suggests he's comfortable playing against some of the best players in the world. Hopefully he'll take confidence from that and show an improved level at Derby or even attract a decent sized bid too good to turn down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
