As squad additions, I think Henderson and Welbeck are excellent additions.
Henderson has won it all, he knows what it takes, the discipline that’s required and he will hold standards high. He will be a leadership figure for the whole squad. There’s interviews out there with players talking about his leadership off the pitch. He’ll be a really important cog in this machine.
Welbeck becomes the leader of our attacking group, it’s clear that he won’t be starting over Joao Pedro but still useful off the bench, probably more useful than Delap?
We’ve been crying out for experience in this squad, for the sporting directors to change up the project.
This is what that looks like. They’re not going to massively impact the first 11 week in, week out, but they are going to massively impact the squad.

I agree. Very happy with them coming in - as long as Jordan stays away from any advertising boards.
