Henry is off to Brentford, according to a chap off another forum (who has been very relialbe, said Sawyers to them was done weeks before it was announced, also was the first to say that the Smith move last season was very much on and happening, whilst all of our fans dismissed the link as putting 2 and 2 together)..
According to him (I hate to use the term sources as it's quite frequently absolute bullshit) the deal is.
- £1m upfront
- £500k after 50 league appearances
- £500k after promotion
- 30% sell-on
Would have preferred more upfront as we have seen how we can be shafted by sell on clauses and getting them over the line.
The only reason they haven't announced it, is that they will be announcing 2/3 signings together this afternoon.. said players looking likely to be (Sully Kaikai from Palace, Cameron McGeehan from Luton and Henry)
Not a bad deal IMO, he hasn't been the same quality of player since SOD took over, been injured a couple of times and got an absolute defensive spanking twice in the play-offs by Championship standard forward players at Barnsley, that's what will have put Spurs and the big boys off.
If he brings his defensive game on and plays enough, he could play at the very top level. Let's hope he does so we can get a nice big wedge in!
Obviously things are fluid on deadline day especially in a young english player, but I'd say this is 95% confirmed.
