We need more midfielders?

We've lost James Hanson and George Thorne to long term injury and they both can play the defensive midfielder role. Mous is now firmly one of the centre backs so isn't available to cover midfield as well and we play 21 games before the transfer window. So we probably need cover for Gorrin with those 2 injured.
 
I find it strange people thought KR didn’t like Henry considering he consistently and continuously played him last season even when Henry was bang out of form and playing awfully at times.

I think that when some people fail to understand why a player is dropped/playing badly, they rationalise it as "personal reasons", as the only possible explanation.
 
I’m pleased Henry is in talks and would welcome him staying longer, although some were criticising him last season and said he needs to be gone.....what do they know?
now come on James and sign a new contract.

I would have been in that camp at the end of last season. Henry is, on his day, unplayable but on a bad day, takes up a key spot in the team, looks disinterested and ghosts through games.

I'm happy to say that this season, he has been on another level. He seems to be playing with a real freedom and appears keen to create at every given opportunity. Add to that, great interaction with Cadden and yes...I hope we can agree a longer stay.

He did have a lot on his mind with his child being in hospital and that was mentioned at the time unfortunately some people obviously didn’t read that, also every player has a bad day and that also takes up a spot. Not having a go but when others haven’t performed I did t see as much saying that they should be moved on. But I do like you hope Henry signs.
 
Not bad for someone that KR apparently hates if you believe some on this forum

Theres a difference between hating someone and not rating them. Numerous people have said KR didn't rate him and didnt see him as 'his' player which is exactly what I'd heard. I think we have a right to pass those concerns on when we can see it may mean us losing Henry but obviously you can believe what you want. But that's fine, you'll never get on with everyone in the workplace.

What IS important is moving past that and making sensible decisions like offering him a new contract as he's (IMO) the best player at the club.

Have loved watching him down the wing with Cadden this season, must be up there with the top partnerships in this league.

Real shame about his younguns earlier in the year but glad theyre ok and hes back to his best again. Also, really appreciate someone who can talk well in interviews which Henry always does.
 
Henry is a top top player at this level. He looks fitter and quicker this season.
He deserves and 100% should get a new contract asap. There will be a host of clubs interested in him if not. Pompey for certain.
 
Sign him up. If he was five year younger he would have been snapped higher up. Championship quality player with a young family who seem settled, works for both parties .
 
Henry has been a brilliant player for us, he's intelligent and has excellent technique. If you could give him Gino van Kessel's pace then he would be a top Championship player, but as is he's a decent Championship player who we're lucky to have.
