There has been a lot of talk lately about the bloated transfer fees of young English footballers. The price Liverpool paid for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordan-c2929 Henderson has come under much speculation, with many sections of the media claiming that the Reds paid around 20 million
pounds for the youngster’s services. The club’s director, Damien Comolli refuses to reveal the exact amount paid for the player.
He said, “On the fee, I've read and heard a lot of things. There was a lot of speculation on how much we would pay for Jordan and none of the figures I've seen are correct so far. We've paid a price that we are comfortable with; otherwise we would not have
done the deal.”

and he's versatile as well. For (manager) Kenny (Dalglish) he will be the player we wanted. We know we are building for the future, a bit like with Luis (Suarez) and Andy (Carroll) in January, but we are also signing a player who is going to be effective from
day one.”
