Jordan Henderson

Players come, players go. That is life and I am OK with that.

In my book there is no need for a video welcoming them and I have lost interest by the time they post their farewell video.

Agree, an arrival leaning photo is more than enough

Someone made a point the other day that struck a chord with me about how if Mbappe did move there, the crazy spending spree PSG would go on and the impact on all other clubs. It's so true, as I still think everyone is paying the consequences of the Neymar deal and the impact that had on transfer fees. It did make me think about the bigger impact this Saudi league could have on European football, particularly us. Ignoring the immediate consequence of possibly losing our best player to PSG, if Saudi investment completely hyper-inflates the market, how long before FSG say "**** it, let's move on"? Even if we do get decent owners in, we still have to remain sustainable, but how difficult will this be with excessive transfer fees and many clubs not needing to sell, as they can offload their average players to these teams for record prices. Probably a bit hypocritical as the PL has been destroying other leagues for years and now the show could be on the other foot, but still...

Anyway, in short, f*ck you Hendo for ruining the club and destroying football.

Absolutely, they're turning heads with offers nobody can match which has potentially disastrous consequences.

It's a bit crazy tbh as they have seemingly limitless wealth but no FFP to adhere to (yet), plus a huge tax advantage which raises that question again..

Can we pay you a fiver to pre order this book? It sounds like it will be great.

Never took to him.

I remember the match that I did. When we got through the second leg v Roma there was some footage of him celebrating alone in the centre of the pitch at full time. The raw desire, the passion, it was all there and I think the drive that he showed was fundamental to the standards we set. Him and Milner. Not glamorous but fundamental,

The other time was at the game v Athletico Madrid (one I was lucky enough to be at). He was at the centre of everything dictating v play and setting standards. He was very impressive, and a much better player tha. He gets credit for.

Twilight years now for sure, but I’d have had him as an options from the bench.

2014 could well have turned out differently if Henderson had been available for those final games...

I charge extra for the right crayons.

Harry Kane is going to put in for about 100 pre orders then.

Thanks, goodbye and good luck

[Fierce]

Yup, good luck Jordan. Leaves as a *bonafide legend






*As the most successful captain in the last 30 years. Low bar notwithstanding

I think the levels of sanctimony with regards to the LGBTQ issue and Henderson are off the scale.

As mentioned he is a footballer, a good leader yes, but he’s never come across as a particularly deep thinker. He has been behind a lot of decent initiatives, and this move is a black mark against one of them. But if he moves or doesn’t, it makes no real change.

I personally don’t agree with how Saudi Arabian society works and if someone is fine with going there for a lot of money fine, I’ll judge that but it isn’t surprising in the slightest.

What rankles more is all this bull**** about him needing to secure his family and it being a short career as a footballer. The numbers vs not just the average uk income but even a very good income just don’t stack up. He doesn’t need to earn that money for any other reason than he wants to and can.

He's made himself look a dick but.. that 3 yr contract is worth what 85m net? Compared to about 20m net equivalent at LFC? I know people will say 20m is plenty, and it is.. but there is a huge difference between the 2 numbers and what it means to his family, his kids kids..etc.

I'm assuming you'll have no issue when corporate profits hit record levels again because there is a huge difference between last year's and this year's numbers and what it means to shareholders and C-Level executive bonuses..

Greed is greed.

I would view it entirely differently if he was moving to Real Madrid or Blovdiv Plovdiv for that wage but no, he's tossing aside something he's passionate about for the shiny lucre.
