To be honest I feel anyone would be a gamble with our basket case of a squad. I’m sure since these players have been in our first team they have not been coached at all.The newer players fresh from another side with structures might fair better. Our longer serving first teams might wonder what the fuck is going on, after all, all they have had to do is pull up their socks and roll their sleeves back.
Henry would be a gamble, would we get a Cruyff or a Sherwood? Perhaps worth it as we have got to get it right one time ... haven’t we?
Loads of people sound knowledgeable discussing the game. That's not the gig. Plus you've got the "accent" thing. It's amazing how ex-foreign players don't sound so clever if you imagine them speaking it in fat sam's accent.

There is an in-built bias with most people to take someone more seriously if they have a certain accent. It's like cantona, spent his career attacking various refs, players and spectators and speaks bollocks 24 hours a day, yet he's viewed as this artisitic gaul wit. If he spoke like robbie savage or vinny jones he'd be seen for what he is. Football is especially bad for it. it's like the old Guiseppe Verdi thing. Joe Green doesn't sound so cultered somehow
Whoever it is I hope they don’t employ the former Chelsea number 26.
If it is Henry with Terry as No 2 and coming back to play, it would solve many of the worries and galvanise the squad overnight.
