BT--I think that is a little unfair on Jeff Hendrick. He has played in 122 PL matches out of a possible 137 since his transfer to us. He was suspended for 3 of those games after his unfortunate dismissal at Watford in his first season. He has fulfilled his contractual obligations to the full and that has been in a somewhat hostile environment with many fans constantly carping about him.
This season we have 39 points from 29 games and Jeff has played in 24 of those games and we have obtained 36 points in those games.
Yes, we don't get anything back, however, he doesn't owe us anything. That's football.
