Hendricks though, does he justify the cost?
He's on a reported 50k a week at Newcastle.
How much if that burden have we taken on?
At 50% of his wages we'd be matching Bannan's 25k per week, and Barry's our main player.
To me, paying even less than 50% of Hendricks wages doesn't justify a bit part squad player when similar wages are going to first team players!
It's a waste of funds in an already strangled budget.
We could've brought in a player that Rohl actually selects and most certainly someone who improved the team rather than be a bench warmer.
I have no idea what portion of Hendricks wages we are paying but I assume there is no clause in the contract to send him back so we are stuck with him. Rohl said he is ok with having 6 midfielders for 2 places, so he is going to employ a No10 and two wide players in a front 4 lie we have seen.
