Re: Jeff Hendrick's contract
amazed nobody has come on and told us the exact terms of his contract considering how many on here are seemingly present in the room for all our negotiations !!!
Re: Jeff Hendrick's contract
Jeff would be sorely missed if he was to leave. Excellent player for us and we should be tying him down to a new contract.

Re: Jeff Hendrick's contract
I imagine there'll be a queue of managers who believe they can get the best out a midfielder who is 6 foot tall and broad, covers the ground at good pace and as generally a good athlete, is a decent passer of the ball and has the technical ability to score the sort of goal he scored at Chelsea. If you told most of our supporters we were signing a midfielder from Belgium they'd never really heard of but described Jeff Hendrick's qualities, they'd be delighted.John Johnson 1605 wrote:What side in the PL/top half of the Championship would take him on current contract terms?
Hendrick's weaknesses, whilst overstated, are really between the ears - an occasional tendency to make daft decisions, an occasional lack of decisiveness and a tendency to fade to the periphery of games when he does make mistakes. Probably perpetuated by the fact his mistakes get seized upon by a section of our support.
But if he puts it all together, you've got a super player. Even to replace everything he offers us, you'd probably be looking at north of £15 million in this market. So it's hugely important we tie him down to a new deal.

Re: Jeff Hendrick's contract
Hugely important in the midfield 4 we played in the second half of last season, and as well as releasing Westwood on occasions it also released McNeil to roam a bit more as the midfield 4 could become a central 3 quite easily.Long Time Lurker wrote:Check this out

Can anybody see the pattern?
Granted, the whole team was shocking before Christmas. During that time Hendrick was shuffled about along the centre line and given bit parts.
Come January and he is moved to right midfield, which allows him to cut in and support midfield, releasing Westwood at times and contributing to a more dynamic fluidity throughout the team.
All of a sudden we start racking up the wins and draws until late February when we suffer a bit of a dip. Coincidently this also corresponds to the emergence of the " cross to crouch hail Mary " tactic we started employing until an appendix saved us from it.
During that four match losing streak our Hendrick played CM against Newcastle ( Westwood was out with a cold if I remember ) and we lost. In the next match against Crystal Palace we dominated the first half, Hendrick came off and we got our ass handed to us on a plate in the second. The loss to Liverpool was to be expected. Hendrick is benched against Leicester and we lose again.
He is added back into the squad at RM and we start racking up the points again, before we enter the final three matches. A great performance against Man City, he plays a bit part against Everton and by the Arsenal match the deck chairs are out and everyone is coasting a bit.
A lot is made about the positive impact the return of Heaton had on our season ( rightly so ), along with the impressive performances of Dwight and Westwood in midfield. However, the contribution of Hendrick, which as usual went largely unnoticed, was in my opinion another major factor in our re-emergence.
He might not stand out as the obvious Golden Boy, but a lot of that is simply down to the fact that he is consistently working his nuts off to give everyone else the freedom to play their best game and look better. Nobody deserves the accolade of unsung hero and team player more than Hendrick.
There are going to be times when JBG or Lennon ( maybe even Brady ) will be better tactical options on the right, but Hendrick is a vital member of our squad and his versatility is hugely important.
As others have said he is one of those players whose true value and importance is only realised when he isn't on the pitch. When the chips are down we can rely on Hendrick to fight for every inch and give no less than 100%. Even in our pre Christmas matches he was giving everything he had and looked to be the only one that consistently showed true grit when other players were wavering a bit.
Definitely deserves a new contract, we are lucky to have him.

I just cannot understand why players like Jeff get so much stick. We over perform just by being in the PL, with players who over perform in every game, yet the so called experts on here can't wait to show their so called knowledge by hammering certain individuals..
Every one of our players does their best every game. That's why I support Burnley and Sean Dyche, and I for one will not malign anyone who is trying their best.

His agent is suggesting an improved contract of two Mars bars, a Twix and a Curly Wurly.

Re: Jeff Hendrick's contract
A player who gives 100% and does a job no matter where Sean puts him, a hugely valuable member of our squad! The amount of stick he comes in for is nothing short of a disgrace, don't care who you are, nobody deserves the stick he gets, there are people sat around me who are itching for him to misplace a pass just to have a go, then mock him when he does something well, it is embarrassing.
I would say that the way he plays often appears that he isn't giving 100%, which is maybe his downfall for some, but if you actually look at his work rate off the ball, it is incredible. I for one hope we offer him another 3 years

Re: Jeff Hendrick's contract
As others have pointed out when Hendrick was playing regularly in the advanced role we had our best period at this level by a long way. I'd have liked to have seen him given a run of games in the middle with Westwood last season given Cork's struggles.

Re: Jeff Hendrick's contract
I'd be surprised if he plays in the 10 again. I thought him and Lowton were very organised with him on the right, and with McNeil pushing further up it was a good balance.
Of course, it also depends on the opposition. JBG on the right can sometimes work against us if it's against a quick counterattacking team.

The tipping point is usually 18 months. Obviously Sean Dyche doesn’t think he’s up to it, otherwise he’d have been offered one by now.

Re: Jeff Hendrick's contract
I trust Sean Dyche's judgement on his 1st team players. Interesting that he thinks Hendrick is good enough to be part of the matchday squad for all 38 Premier League games and to have him on the pitch for all or part of 32 of those matches. 12x90 minutes, 14 subbed off (45-82 minutes played) and just 6 subbed on (1-35 minutes played). His 6 unused sub appearances resulted in 3 wins and 3 defeats. I think SD certainly considers him to be an integral part of the 25!

Re: Jeff Hendrick's contract
Oddly I’ve never heard Hendrick getting stick on a match( maybe the odd grumble when team is announced ) only on here ? Then again not heard racist abuse for donkeys yrs but to hear some you’d think it was like a Hitler rally . He’s ok in a Scotty kind of way works hard and won’t let anyone down, few would even notice if he left but on balance I’d keep him for his general versatility .

Definitely would be looking to give Jeff a new deal personally. He’s versatile and always gives 100%. It would cost us at least £10m - £15m to replace him, so it’s a no brainier really.

Re: Jeff Hendrick's contract
Why do we need to progress as a club, we’re doing superbly well at the moment, excellent business model, a top half Premier League finish. It’s a flaming miracle that we’re in this position.

Would you have the club forget all that, over extend and put ourselves in debt, get rid of the players who got us here and replace them with £20m - £30m mercenaries on massive wages.
It’s an incredibly big gamble to spend big money, if it goes wrong, you end up like Blackburn, Bolton, Leeds, Charlton, Coventry, Portsmouth, Sunderland... to name but a few. Ask fans of those clubs if they’d swap with us, because I guarantee they would.

Re: Jeff Hendrick's contract
When I first started playing golf regularly, I got better really quickly and my handicap got lots lower very fast. But after a while, I stopped getting better quite so fast because it turned out that, whilst I was enthusiastic and tried hard, I wasn't especially talented. So whilst i improved a bit, it was a lot slower than when I hadn't begun to push on the limits of my ability.BOYSIE31 wrote:No but i think Dyche is limited to who he can get in through the door - but we do need better but if we cant get it then Hendrick has to do which is a shame.

The upgrade we need though would only move Hendrick down and the player behind him should be moved on. In my opinion that is Lennon.
