Who on earth is Dave Hendrick?

A massive whopper from that Anfield Index podcast.

Claims to know every player in Europe and have seen them all play 50 times.

And frankly i'd be happy with an average, solid CB who does his job. Look at what Leicester did with 2 "average" CBs. Meanwhile City spunk £30-40m every season on "world class" CBs who make error after error.

The way fans rank CBs seems disproportionately weighted to "ball playing" CBs like John Stones. 2 big lads at the back who can win a header, fight with a Troy Deeney, and score the occasional header, that's all I want

Apparently he`s even taller than Hyypia. Hopefully he`ll be as dominant in the air as Sami.
Having watched him a few times he  is really as good as Hyypia attacking set pieces .

Welcome Joel.

really liking us signing this guy as he ticks all the boxes for a modern day defender,young quick and good in the air and was highly rated in Germany.

Awesome freebie probably saving us around 25-30 million pounds.

looking forward to him playing in red.

as with the centreback position, i really do feel that big names doesn't matter as much. Look at how klopp developed Hummels and Subotic into a formidable partnership. We already seeing signs of it in LovSak. Just hopes that Sakho gets off and we can have 3 top centrebacks that compliments each other.

I have no qualification on judging footballers other than watching him play for Schalke many times in the past few years, but I think he is an excellent CB. He is the signing I'm most excited about mainly because I've seen him play the most times. A proper front foot defender, always picks forward passes similar to Sakho and a threat at set pieces. Rather good as a DM too.
