Absurd reasoning. He's not quality. So why would you worry if we replace him with someone else who isn't quality? We'd just be exchanging like for like.
As for Spurs, we would be weakening them by giving them Henderson. They'd be giving us their money, and we'd be sending them a sh*te player. We'd finally be the ones mugging other clubs instead of the other way around.
Don't expect everyone to agree on Hendo's ability/rating of him.
But in general, regardless of who the player is, if they are a regular first XI starter, and we want to let them leave/replace them, we should have a replacement lined up who would start ahead of them even if the player leaving were still at the club. Otherwise, we are weaker for having sold.
I don't think Jordan is head and shoulders above Can/Allen, but I think on his day he can influence a game more than they can, has better range of passing, and arguably is the better finisher (I would think the stats would bear this out, but am open to correction) ... the miss vs. Shitty aside
In saying that, he's not having a great season. My brother had that plantar fasciitis and he found it pretty debilitating, so that can't be helping. If he can get over that though, think his form will improve again.
