Jordan Henderson

I don’t blame him for going for the money- footballers have a short career, and even though he was already extremely well paid, this is next level.

However, I wish he’d just be honest about it. If he came out and said that financially he couldn’t turn it down, as it sets him and his family up for life, I wouldn’t hold it against him. But does he think we’re all idiots or what, talking about how he thinks the league has so much potential and that’s why he went there.

As if his family isn't already set up for life. How much more money do they need really?

They are bidding for the 2034 world cup if they haven't paid for it yet!

Been saying this for ages, it's just a fad like China when Hulk and Oscar etc went over for silly money, it will never take off no matter how much money they throw at it. It's a joke.

Gerrard and Gini just as bad. There's one thing doing it for the cash but surely you'd be thinking I'll be playing in front of pretty much no-one. Can I do that?

I wonder what the size of the global fanbase of Al-Ettifaq is? Does it get into 4 figures?

[RichC]

He didn't move for the money though

[Rich]

It is embarrassing

Hendo’s living the dream. Last home game 970’ish people on the terraces…….bit of a come down from a packed Anfield……no doubt the 700k/week helps

Attendances are.dropping.

696 at the latest game

Looks sincere.

Henderson has left the club. Whatever he does/says has no bearing on my life. So, no ****s are given

It's no surprise that "The Former Captain", "Ambassador", "Leader", "Humanitarian of the Year", has been exposed as a vacuous PR construct, so there's not much to say on his character and probity other than this mirage will be well suited to the desert.

The funniest part is that his devotees continually made the excuse that in ideal circumstances we'd be "managing his minutes", bringing him on as an "impact sub" to swashbuckle a losing position into victory, or calling for an "experienced closer" to see us through a difficult period (irrespective of the evidence that he's gash), but because of injuries he's had to play more than Klopp had planned, thus blunting their Hero's effectiveness. They stated it confidently and with certitude, that this was "The Plan" all along, as if they had been in meetings with Klopp himself; limit "The Former Captain's" game time and keep him fresh, and the "Real Hendo" will spring forth and dominate! Yet in an ironic twist of fate, "The Former Captain" is using a potential lack of playing time as the reason he's bolting to the footballing hotbed of Saudi Arabia. Citing a concern for his England place as an auxiliary excuse for doing a bunk just concludes the whole episode with a Chef's Kiss.

Can’t say I ever saw much of that on this forum?

I did however see loads of people who got completely fed up with your seemingly constant stream of negativity though - so in that respect I’m really glad that Henderson has left

Yowser, hard to argue with that
