Jordan Henderson

[frank the tank]

Christ that money is ****in rediculous

[red g]

way more than 4 x his salary as its tax free too.

Would have to be earning £1.5million a week over here to be taking that home

That is mental.

[Fosterbloke]

If it's true then **** you Jordan. If it's not then good on ya for sticking to your principles.

If he does go, I hope he spends 3/4 of his cash on LGBTQI+ initiatives; then my first statement will be withdrawn.

[BootRoom]

Will be some epic rationalising going on if this comes to pass. Lock the thread now so as not to jinx it!

More seriously, I think the only "statement" Stevie would be making with this signing is: "I'm not a very good manager".

[Norbs]

You'll be like Farage after Brexit. Every cloud

[danperkins]

Showing a picture of Jordan wearing the pride armband. The irony is not lost on me. Money can buy everything.

[BobTheCharmer]

I think initially this will be quite destabilising for the team. Club captain, looked up to by many and loved by the management team. You could see on the behind the scenes how integral he is. This money on offer is mental, it's LIV golf all over again. Next year they'll buy UEFA and the super league will be official.

[danperkins]

If he going to go we need to do this now. But late in the window for your captain and yet another midfielder to leave. Armband change was inevitable though imo and your captain has to be a guaranteed starter and Hendo is not guaranteed.

I doubt it.


Most people will still have the same opinion they already have, be it positive or negative, of him as a Liverpool player should he leave, and then the same people will have an opinion on him, again positive or negative, as a person based on whether he moves to Saudi or not.


Part two of your post I agree with 100%

Yes it is lots of money, but - when you earn as much as these guys do - there comes a time when it does not need to be the driver of your decisions. PRIDE.

[Irishnev]

So, I’m going to come off all Bootroom here but here is my take on things……

Henderson has been openly pro inclusion/diversity and has led players in many campaigns so this would be a full 180% turn - I don’t see him giving up his morals
The club in question are not one of the 4 owned by PIF and don’t have the same level of money as the ones Ronaldo, Benzema etc went to - there’s no way they can afford it
The news broke by Dominic King who helped him write his autobiography
Henderson has form in the past for running to the media (Ornstein) saying PSG and AM wanted him when he was chasing a big contract

I think the offer is being exaggerated, I think he’ll turn it down and everyone will say how great he is for refusing the money and he’ll spend the next two seasons with us on his huge wages

Big PR conspiracy theory from me and I might look like a massive plonker if he takes the money and goes

FFS I come in here and read this and now feel like even more of a CT head for posting something similar in the transfer forum

It’s how he handled his last contract that really soured me on him because it’s totally at odds with the character he portrays himself as and he’s got previous form for using the media to his advantage. I don’t think he goes and I think they’ll be a huge love in on how great his morals were

To be honest Klopp sees how important Henderson has been and is to our set-up. That's enough for me. He knows best.

I wouldn't think less of Jordan if he decided to take up such a ridiculous amount of money. It's mindbogglingly huge.

[The_weatherman]

We'll manage if he leaves, Klopp is still the team's main leader and we have Virgil, Robbo, Thiago, Salah and Ali as experience players who will also play more regularly and of course local boy Trent. The last captains were Hendo, Milner and Virgil.

Next could be Virgil, Trent and Ali or something, a change of captaincy during the rebuild might just be beneficial as well, new voices etc.

Really loathe the governance entities in sport though that they are just sitting by and letting this Saudi takeover happen.
