Jordan Henderson

Think no one cares..i certainly don't and don't want him anywhere near an England squad ever again

It’s depressing that Southgate still plays him.

Fk him - sold his soul

He's on 350 grand a week aged 33 for 3 seasons, the above 3 posters would all sell their souls to play there as well, everyone who's criticised him would but they pretend they wouldn't because they know they'll never be in that position to have it questioned. All he's doing is kicking a ball for a living, if you want to make those kind of moral judgments because of the country he's playing in, then bare in mind the country you are living in sells weapons to the Saudi's every single year worth billions and they're used against innocent civilians in Yemen. Wasn't so long ago gay marriage was also illegal in Britain. Lots of hypocrisy around.

Have to agree with Scanda here (for the first time ever).

Jordan, the Rainbow Armband Warrior footballer, now depised by gays

I'm sure 350 bags a week means he's devastated.

Do you think that his team mates might be wondering that with all the money in the world was this the best they could come up with.

I'm not absolutely sure about the "everyone would do what he did". Have to remember he's probably had a decade of earning millions per year. Unless he's absolutely p!ssed it up the wall on gambling or hair gel then he should be set for life already. And I'd be certain he'd be planning to move into coaching or punditry afterwards so he has a lucrative career to come. So I'm not convinced he's that desperate for the money. Especially when he painted himself as the face for equality and social justice so often.
To be at the forefront of the rainbow laces campaign and then choose, out of all the different places he could have gone to, to go to the place where gay people are killed simply for their sexuality is hypocritical. As has been seen in his mealy mouthed media appearances since.

Can earn enough in 3 years to make grand kids self sufficient.

It's also an easier paced game, and might become
a coach out there too.

I had a few mates in nhs went out to work in saudi
for 3 years or so back in the mid 80s.

All came back to buy lovely houses.

As for rainbow laces it's already documented that
he has done good by his actions... Surely somebody
else can step up now he's gone.

Plenty more will take the monets.

But it's opened everyone's eyes to how poor the standard is out there. And his team's miles from the top and often playing in front of hundreds. Everyone knows he shouldn't be anywhere near the England team and it can't be huge odds he's out of the squad next summer.

I'm not sure anyone's enhanced their reputation out there. Ronaldo is just keeping himself fit, while trying to stay a Portugal international and score more goals. Firmino and Fabinho seem to have dropped off the radar completely while Mané only shows up in flashes. Probably the only one who might come out of it well is the Wolves player who probably gets a sly move to Newcastle. Has all the hallmarks of China a few years ago where a few go for the money but a couple of years later no-one else thinks it's worth it. Probably all depends on whether Saudi can elbow their way into top level competition.

As for rainbow laces, I think his actions have now neutered his previous good work. It now looks like any footballer can't be trusted. That they can all be bought, so why listen to any of them any more when they stand up for something?

Well no it's an exhibition league compared to EPL.

But signing largely end of career guys still
improves the league out there.

They are a million miles away from their golf
investment, which still strikes me as odd.

There's some method in the madness of their spending,
but I really just don't get it.

Surely it's simply cheaper to ban death penalty
and pass some laws for woman's equality if they
want to raise their standing in the world.

Maybe gay laws are a few years down the road, but
they will come one day,... Go on take the plunge.

The laws against gays and female independence don't really come from the regimes in those sort of countries.

The elites would probably like to reform.

It is the majority of the male population that set the cultural tone. They might not have any votes but, if they are 'provoked' by westernization, they might rise up and all these sheiks would be running for their lives.

Yeah, that's pretty much true too.

40% of population are immigrants, so
lots going on and lots of potential for change.

ok Scandanavian Haven - gonna tell you a little story - about 30 years ago I worked in a printing factory, there was a round of redundancies and our FoC (Father of the Chapel/ Shop Steward) got paid off. So the remaining employees voted for me as their new FoC (Google it) so I represented about 100 men and 30 women. I was earning around 600 quid a week and had a wife and 2 young sons.
A new wave of redundancies was announced and the Managing Director came to me with the forecast of what each potential redundant employee would receive.
I noticed one employee who was a labourer would receive considerably less than the others who were employed in a similar position and queried this with the MD. He told me that this particular employee who was what is now referred to as 'special needs/ learning difficulties' had a special agreement with his parents and the Union which would cover him being on a lower rate than his colleagues. I contacted his parents and the Union who both confirmed that no  such agreement had ever been made and that he was entitled to the basic Union rate at that time. National Graphical Association rates at that particular time.
Anyway upshot is I backed this lad and he took the Company for 65k in underpaid wages, overtime, shifts and pension payments. I discussed this with my wife before I pursued his case in court and she told me 'I had to do the right thing.'
knew I had to do the right thing and I'd appreciate it it if you didn't judge me the way you did above.
You don't know me.

Fotgot to mention - I was subsequently made redundant as we expected at the time

I don't know you and you don't know Henderson, a footballers career is incredibly short, they may have earned millions but millionaires also tend to spend big as well, it's generally over at the top level aged 35 (and can end any moment before that with injury), 30 odd years before everyone else has retired. He's more than entitled to go and collect his pension pot in Saudi Arabia if they're stupid enough to pay such wages, he's done his bit for the gay community, much more than most players, I don't see it as being hypocritical of him to go and play there, he hasn't changed his mind on what he believes has he, whether he goes there or not the status quo in in the middle east is not going to change. It seems like pure jealousy to me and all of this he sold his soul nonsense is laughable. He doesn't own the gay community anything . His priority is his family and their families future who are all not set for life for generations to come.

Practically nobody in the same position is going to turn down 350 grand a week in their 30 in any occupation when offered, don't know why Liverpool fans are so upset anyway, he was on the decline in his last 2 seasons, looked almost surplus to requirements, have upgraded their midfield, back fighting for the title and have moved on, all after which Henderson had already given the best years of his career to the club.

What it appears has happened is that his open support to the gay community was simply an act by someone who had spotted an easy opportunity to appear to be one of the good guys and something that would derive a heap of praise, it's simply an ego thing, I don't believe he sold his soul because I don't believe his soul was wedded to it in the first place and sure enough as soon as it was put to the test it was exposed.

He deserves criticism because he was someone who wanted and did garner adulation by defending a cause that he didn't really care about and then tried to say that he didn't go for the money but because Liverpool didn't want him

don't know why Liverpool fans are so upset anyway,

They are upset because in years to come when they are down the pub getting nostalgic ad discussing their great players down the years he would have got a mention as a good honest example setting pro who did everything right and was one of a few that would be respected by fans from other clubs as well as their own, a player that as a fan you were proud that he was one of your team...Liverpool fans would be sad that he's pi55ed all over that.

Henderson had 2 years left on his Liverpool contract, but was well past his best. I'm of the view that he always held them back despite them winning big pots when he was there. They could have done better as he was a technically limited player. All the media could really say about him was that he motivated his teammates and tried hard! You don't hear that said about many PL/CL captains as their best trait. Maybe a captain of a team who avoids relegation.

He and the Saudis did Pool a big favour getting 2 years of his wages off the books and they even got a fee in for him. He'd likely have run his contract down and been a waste of wages for 2 years. Pool fans should be delighted.

Only one reason,cant blame him but dont rate him or like it.
Sure he dont give a flying fook...

If somebody wants to pay me hundreds of thousands a week to be someone who usually tries hard but will always be bang average at their job then please Pm me.

And me too please! I’d love to sell my soul, easy money!

lurka

I agree with everything you say about Henderson and especially about holding Liverpool back. If Liverpool would have had a decent goal scoring mid-fielder instead they would of won both of those league defeats to Man City.
The biggest mystery is why Klopp rated him so much and gave him another contract along with other Liverpool managers.

never liked him . a limited player

Jordan Henderson is looking to leave Saudi Arabia and move back to the Premier League according to breaking press reports this evening

Reports suggest he has struggled to settle in the country




..


Suddenly, he might be best player they ever had...

can't see any Premier League takers in the top 6

If Chelsea sell Conor Gallagher and sign the hypocrite Henderson that's me finished after 50+ years supporting them.. and I know they won't care..

Must be horrific if he's turning his back on 700k a week. Benzema seems to be in the same boat.

It's the 100 lashes each time they lose.

Looks like Saudi may be a busted flush like China

The issue is the lifestyle. Who wants to be a millionaire and live in some desert with a conservative lifestyle.

Add in most of these English wet wipes start shaking once they even sniff foreign soil

Hilarious that alot of English WAGs have forced their husbands home cos they couldn't make friends or settle in a foreign country

Henderson's not on 700k a week, it's 350k

the mistake he made was not admitting straight up he was going for the money, same as these liv Golfers nearly all just waffling and not saying they're there for the money only. I don't actually see the point in the Saudi's trying to attract these players, their crowds are terrible even for Ronaldo side, when I've seen clips the stands are not full, which is odd as football is supposed to be their number 1 sport and they have 35 million people, country like holland has half that and all their stadiums are full and close to. Just an ego boost for the wealthy over there, I think Porcupine is correct and eventually they will get bored of it but it might take some time, difference with China however was their clubs were going bust, the reigning champions even went bust a couple of years ago, players like Tevez were taking the piss talking about going their on holiday and turning up overweight, in the end they put a tax on any purchase of foreign players over 5 million where they then had to pay an equal amount to the Chinese FA, and a salary cap of 3 mil to overseas signings. This was all in the midst of covid which had an effect.

Still don't buy all this hypocrit stuff though, he doesn't suddenly agree with anti gay stances in Saudi, he's just taking their money and will eventually come back to England and spend it there.

I think LIV golfers were all given a script personally. They all seemed to say the same thing

He's not on 350k a week if he leaves within 2 years.

It becomes taxable.

Would he rock up at Newcastle? Would seem like a sensible signing there if not for the obvious Mackem links. But then he might just have a taste for backstabbing and go all in.

Rumour is chelski..

This was always likely to happen, now we're seeing it.

You must be a Liverpool fan if you don't think he's a hypocrite.. The king kneeler, rainbow laces and all that nonsense..Then takes the blood money in one of the biggest abuses of people's human rights in the world..

Weirdo.


It's the Liverpool fans out of everyone who are calling him hypocrite.

It was reported as 700kpw but now they say 350k. However, if it's tax free then it's more like 700k gross.

You can support LGBT rights and work outside the western world, which is the only part of the world where LGBT rights are a thing. You are not a hypocrite if you do that. The two aren't mutually exclusive. Your government buys oil from the Saudis and sells them billions in arms and has done for decades.

weirdo.. bit touchy aren't you and it wasn't even meant for you

Just pointing out the truth to those who' d rather believe a narrative - the weirdos.

Smiths Square Crisps

Jordan Henderson next club odds
Newcastle 2/1
Crystal Palace 5/2
Fulham 3/1
Celtic 5/1
Liverpool 6/1
Burnley 8/1
Chelsea 10/1
Brighton 12/1


Loveto see a meerkat on hear...

Newcastle! he surely is not going there, I mean the only club he could go to to receive even more stick is his hometown clubs biggest rival, he wouldn't would he ?

Newcastle at this point in time are probably too big for him, Henderson 33 and don't see Newcastle  needing him, seems more like a Palace or Brighton sort of signing at this stage of his career.

Rebecca had enough of the gaff ??

brighton must be favs if only because he wouldnt have to change his laces,

Sideways and backward passing master ,who could possibly turn him down .

I'd lay that 2/1 all day long! The 5/1 Celtic about would make the most appeal on your prices. Either way, I just don't want him anywhere near the England squad.

the worst thing about the 5/10 yd sideway passing ,even if you buy in to it,is in 80% of cases the pass is always a yd behind the reciever instead of a yd in front of him, chelsea another grerat example of none football for 85 mins last night, if no player beats/dribbles past a player in 90 mins against 11 behind the ball you aint going to break down a well drilled defensive unit, 80% of chelsea passing last night was passing for passings sake, and laurel and hardy on the right wing are a nightmare niether them,their team mates or fans have a clue what their going to attempt next

Jordan was a great signing for Liverpool.

paid £20m had 12 seasons out of him and 360 appearances, sold for £12m.

Captain, won the league, European Cup, FA Cup and League Cup and was a key player every season.

Wish we could find players like that every season

man utd have got a whole squad of players worth less than 20m, just that nobody told them before they bought them

Bad news for England fans. Southgate probably promised him a place in the Euros squad. Can only hope he has the sense to leave Rashford, Maguire and Sterling at home. Wouldn't count on it, though.

said it twice so must be true.

become one of the most expensive GATES in history, aint that right fergie

Jordan gonna do a bit of sports washing with his Ajax.

Having fixed homophobia in Saudi he is now going
to tackle drug crime in Holland...

Why would people want Southgate to leave Maguire at home, always does a job for England, Rashford not bothered, he's way too hot and cold, Henderson is not needed though. Sterling not consistent but always a good alternative from the bench.

"brighton must be favs if only because he wouldnt have to change his laces, Wink"

Stupid comment! but still second to the chant "we can see you holding hands"

700 grand a week and the missus has still had enough of living in saudi ...

must be pretty good

Thought he went there to "grow the game there",given up easily hasn't he ?

couldnt draw a crowd let alone grow the game

Orrible little scroat

11kv = "Orrible little scroat". Has he shrunk?

no 11kv is 6ft8

Newspapers hinting he deferred his wages to dodge UK tax. What a fall from grace for the England captain.

Henderson is understood to have been advised that up to the end of last year, pro rata he must have spent no more than 21 days in Britain if he wished to be considered non-resident for tax reasons. That limitation in spending time in Britain was the key part of his initial decision to defer any salary payments.

really hope he's left out of england squad, not withstanding there are better choices he's surely too much of a distraction and southgate will surely want the disruption at a minimum and not have to be defending his picks even before he gets there?

a regular for a fantastic team and club contending for premier league and champions league titles and also a regular for england playing in world cups and euros.......dumps it all for what we thing is an extra 100k after tax on the other side of the world. realises he has messed up and will now be playing for a side miles off the pace in holland............what a mess. he should make a documentary on netflix about it. im sure he will make a few bob out of that.

That's greed for you.  Multimillionaire throws away career in pursuit of money he never needed.

1 min 12 secs

Henderson had to take a rather circuitous route out of Saudi for fear of retribution and got a bit lost

Johann Cruyff is turning in his grave.

Probably not a smart admission from him to admit that he didn't already know that Cruyff's shirt number had been retired!!

Is Jordan gonna be smoking a couple
of fags at half time to emulate
Cruijff

Isnt Geordie Henderson Cruyffs son?

talk of 700 grand a week
saudi,s didnt want to let him go so no help with his ajax wages
cant see ajax paying more than a 100 grand a week tops


so bloke and family giving up 600 grand a week to get out of DODGE not exactly the headlines the saudi,s were paying good money for

Maybe it's more important to show players
they can leave.

And....

If Ajax can get a free player from Saudi whats
market value for next Saudi league player to rock
up at Saudi funded man utd...

i honestly stopped watching football because of Henderson . awful player

Alot of awful players win league titles, European cups and numerouts caps for their country, and get paid vast sums of money for doing so. Makes me wonder where I went wrong cuz I was truly awful at football

Alot of awful players win league titles, European cups and numerouts caps for their country, and get paid vast sums of money for doing so.

freds about Henderson, leave Micah out of it ...
