Jordan Henderson

[danperkins]

Don't listen to all the nasty people, Mr. Henderson, they are only jealous; you do what's best for you and your family - and that means setting off on this Saudi adventure.

I don't suspect you'll be getting any apologies any time soon

Looks like someone is having difficulties in basic written English

****ing hell, the day Bender gets pedantic. The world has truly changed. And not for the better.

blimey the LGBQT lads are out!
Amazing how some get so upset by someone else's opinion

You're a fully fledged homophobe? Charming.

I’ve not been a fan of Hendo since the contract renewal saga and have been quite open about it. This isn’t about apologies or oneupmanship - a player who divided opinions is leaving….. let’s move on.

I really hope Bootroom takes the chance now to become a real poster who interacts properly and not use every opportunity to rant about Henderson. I’ve no idea if it was a wind up or serious but it was genuinely cringey. As we are having a fresh midfield start let’s hope we get the same from Bootroom

Bit disappointed in the rumours Klopp made a last minute attempt to keep him.

Hopefully the suits see fit to replace him.

Mine was a piss take, I have no idea about Bootroom. It doesn't really bother me if people have an issue with a player, each to their own and some people latch onto players positively and negatively. One of my mates absolutely hates Jota, wouldn't matter what he did he hates him but Nunez is bulletproof in his eyes.

For me, it's each to their own, doesn't bother me and it's why I don't care about match threads and people venting, others despise the match threads. We all support the team different, emotions get high and we all have different ways of showing it

Can’t we all be friends

[danperkins]

Can’t we all be friends

If only that were the case on forums

At least we can be besties

[danperkins]

Well at least we don't have to look at those cringey muscle vids with inspirational quotes anymore. That's a win for humanity.

I feel the need to somewhere put on record (this place is as good and as meaningless as any) my profound disappointment with this move.

Henderson seemed to hold himself to a higher moral standard more than not just other footballers, but the rest of us.

He was a visibly present supporter of equality in all its forms, he's organised his colleagues to do more and give more to society during the pandemic.

That, to me at least, was important. It was more than purely playing for my team.

So now he's basically chucked all of that into the bin and he's taking the blood money from people who he was previously vocally critical of, at least implicitly if not explicitly. He's killed his legacy.

For what, going from being able to afford a Ferrari or two per week to maybe owning his own yacht? Or is it actually for footballing reasons?

Either way, I'm really pissed off with this.

I'm ****ed off with any player or manager going to the middle east to be the face of a sportwashing project. But with Henderson, it is much worse.

That's a good post.

Honest and emotionally open. Longer posts suit you, Dom.



As for Henderson. He was a great captain for us but ended his time with us showing he is quite hypocritical.

[Doc_Piptorious]

For what exactly?

He slagged Henderson off non stop for a few seasons.

He gave his opinion, often in a most provocative manner, and others here disagreed strongly with hin, often in an equally provocative manner.


Said it recently in a reply to him that he did raise some valid points at times, with regards to Henderson, but that the manner in which he did so pretty much removed any chance of debate.

Difficult to see whay people should be sending him apologies unless of course I missed some personal stuff being said to him.



Oh and in case I forget to say it again today, you still have a **** non beard.

You know I was taking the piss, was just a wind up

Also he didn't bother me in th slightest if I'm being honest. Some people are very easily offended, clearly I am not one of those.

[vlahka]

I love him but maybe its time to put a midfielder in who can actually give us assists and goals. He did neither last season.

But anyone in their prime and serious about their football career ought to think carefully about chasing the penny in Saudi. Unless/until the football becomes top notch, it is a big step backwards football career-wise. Would you do that just because your club has missed out on the Champions League.

'Easy decision': Ruben Neves reveals main reason he swapped Wolves for Saudi Arabia

In an interview with Al-Hilal, he said: "It was a good project, the club and the league presented a good project().

"When this chance came I spoke with my family and everyone was really happy to come, so it was easy for me.

"The main factor was my family and the chance to give my family the life I have always dreamt of, that was the real reason for me.

"I have three kids and a lovely wife and I need to take care of them, that is a bigger trophy than my career."


That's a lot of words for "greed"

Football has entertained me for years but I reckon I'll be out in a few years wondering why I spanned time with these mercenaries.
