Even City supporters seem to be unanimous in their praise of Henderson. They would take him instantly over Fernandinho and Fernando to partner Toure in midfield. And that's not off the back of one performance either. He has steadily improved over the last 24 months to become one of the PL's best midfielders.
To be fair, Fernandinho and Fernando aren't that great.
Though, your point stands, Hendo would get into every team in the country. He is the type of player the mancs absolutely need more than any other. As pointed out, he walks (well its hard to tell whether he's walking or jogging - he has an odd gait
) into City's midfield. Much better than Ramires and John Obi Wan Kenobi Mikel (though he wouldn't displace the two man midfield of Matic and Fabregas). He's better than Flamini Coquelin, Wilshere, Arteta and Rosicky as well, and Spurs tend to play cardboard cut-outs instead of midfielders.
