Ads in Leeds: Re Kieran @ 09:41. Why shouldn't Henderson continue to try? He's still a top, solid player with a lot to offer. He shouldn't have to retire if top teams are willing to sign him, and if he feels like he still wants to compete for an international place why shouldn't we let him? If he still has ambition, whether it matches his level or not, let him play!
Paul (Brentford fan): Getting Henderson in will go some way to softening the blow of Norgaardâs exit, and I think heâs a really good fit for the club in terms of personality and profile. Plus itâs a great bit of business financially, provided his wages fall in line with what we tend to pay our players. But replacing Norgaard directly isnât as straightforward as it might appear - Christian was instrumental for us for years, brilliant at protecting the defence, and we have tended to suffer when heâs not played.
Henderson and his England future
England players moving outside of the Premier League to what have been deemed as lower levels of football have often sparked doubts over their England futures.
For Ivan Toney, he spent almost a whole season out of England's squad last term before making Thomas Tuchel's squad in June.
There has been more of an olive branch for Jordan Henderson. The midfielder featured in Gareth Southgate's first three England squads after his move to Saudi Arabia but did not play a single minute for the Three Lions in 2024, missing out on the squad that reached the final of Euro 2024.
Tuchel's arrival in place of Southgate in January sparked an England lifeline for Henderson, who has featured in both of Tuchel's squads.
In March, Tuchel said of Henderson that "he embodies everything we try to build".
From Liverpool to Brentford, via Saudi Arabia and Amsterdam
Rewind to two years ago and Jordan Henderson's exit from Liverpool had not long been confirmed, with the England midfielder calling time on a 12-year stay at Anfield.
He ended July 2023 with a shock switch to Saudi Arabia to sign for Al-Ettifaq under former Reds and England team-mate Steven Gerrard.
That stay in Saudi Arabia lasted less than six month before Henderson swapped Al-Ettifaq for Ajax.
Henderson has spent the last 18 months in the Dutch capital but Ajax accepted his request to end his contract on Thursday, a year early, with a move to former club Sunderland seeming one of the likely destinations for the experienced midfielder.
Instead, Henderson is now in line to be Christian Norgaard's replacement at the Gtech Community Stadium.

What is going on at Forest?
Craig Nelson
BBC Sport reporter
Much of the chat in this page yesterday was coming from West Ham supporters concerned by the club's lack of transfer action this summer.
Today, the focus of ire has switched to Nottingham Forest.
Just a few short months after the club secured a route back into Europe, supporters are now facing up to life without two of their top attacking players.
Earlier this week, the club agreed a £55m fee with Newcastle to sell Sweden winger Anthony Elanga.
Now Forest look set to lose their chief playmaker, Morgan Gibbs-White for £60m.
With money in the bank, and only one new signing - the £10m capture of Igor Jesus from Botofogo - manager Nuno Espirito Santo and the club's recruitment team will have to work fast to prepare the squad for what promises to be a long, arduous season ahead.
Premier League experience key to Spurs recruitment remit - analysis

So that will be £115m spent in 24 hours for Tottenham. It's all very un-Daniel Levy-like, isn't it?
With Mohammed Kudus signed and Morgan Gibbs-White on his way to north London, both are flair players that live up to Tottenham's attacking traditions. But crucially are players who have Premier League experience.
Indeed, that was the remit for Tottenham's recruitment team this summer.
The Spurs squad is already packed full of exciting young potential, what Thomas Frank believes it needs is experience.
While Kudus and Gibbs-White are relatively young - 24 and 25, respectively - they are well-versed in the rigours of England's top-flight.
Kudus has two full seasons for West Ham under his belt, making 80 appearances across all competitions, while Gibbs-White has played in the last three Premier League campaigns for Forest and had prior experience as a teenager at Wolves.
Spurs' interest in Brentford duo Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo is further illustration of Tottenham's recruitment remit.

What a huge 24 hours this promises to be at Tottenham - and after some fans were getting restless last week when young Japan defender Kota Takai became the first new face to arrive at Spurs this summer.
Fast forward seven days and the landscape has suddenly changed.
So exactly what is going on at Tottenham?
As BBC Sport's senior football correspondent Sami Mokbel put it: it's all very un-Daniel Levy-like, isn't it?
'It's a big moment' - Kudus on £55m Spurs move
All eyes were already on Tottenham on Thursday night as news emerged of their accelerating interest in Nottingham Forest playmaker Morgan Gibbs-White.
And the club used that increased exposure to confirm their first significant step into the transfer market since this summer's appointment of Thomas Frank as their new manager.
Mohammed Kudus cited former Brentford boss Frank as an important factor in his decision to make a £55m move from West Ham.
"From where [Frank] has come from, and seeing the amount of talent he has developed to become great players, it's a big sign as to why I wanted to work under him as well," said the 24-year-old Ghana forward.
Kudus was also tempted by the chance to play at the top level of European football with Spurs, saying he "always wanted to play at the highest level".
"How big the club is, the history and the Champions League as well, so it's a big moment. I'm very happy and can't wait to start," he added.
