But not worth £70m If thats the asking price, that a lot of money for someone who had one good season for Palace.
The irony of the media piling in on Henderson. These idiots were against the Qatar World Cup but were happy to be flown over there, all expenses paid.
How many were having a go at Ronaldo for starting all this. Ronaldo who has earned enough money so that not only does he never have to work again, its likely neither will his grandchildren and could have gone anywhere and played for nothing.
Ronaldo didn't really have a reputation to lose though; everyone already knew he was trash. Henderson might not have the on-field ability as Ronaldo, but he had a bit of a good-guy vibe going on with him. I think it's more of a shock that Henderson overturned his own values for the money. Not really a surprise to anyone that Ronaldo went just for the money. Ronaldo has always had a sleaze-ball reputation.
Have any of you considered the possibilty that Hendo could have gone there because of his beliefs? Go there as a big name and get a big following from the public then start trying to change things from the inside with gestures such as the rainbow laces (even if he wasn't allowed to wear them it would become known that he wanted to and it might just make a few of his new fans think which could spread among people they know). Small things can often pruduce big reactions long term. Ronaldo has'nt gone for the money he has more than God already. His ambition is to become the first player to feature in five World cups and he knows he would not find a club anywhere else that he could carry on playing for until the next tournament.
If you honestly believe that Jordan Henderson has gone to Saudi to become a figurehead to try and change gay rights in the country I’ve got a London Bridge to sell you. Any foreigner who trys anything political will have his contract cancelled and be deported without a second thought.
So dirty money grabber then, Ok. I occasionally like to try and see the possible good side of people but i am probably just a dreamer.
I actually thought you would all jump on the Ronaldo bit, never occured to me that you would be so bitter about Henderson
fsg have nothing on Robert Langdon I'm going to reveal now how fsg plan to convince lfc fans they don't need any .ore players. First trent is played in midfield in preseason with a drip drip drip of stories about how awesome he is. second the cameras and videos of conor Bradley will start, soon to be followed by articles in the friendly websites and athletic (cheap to pay for). by the time lfc are in singapore Bradley is the next god of football and trent is the ultimate no 6 according to some. meantime the hard sell of youth will begin. Jones and Elliott return early to compete with clark for the other midfield berths. finally fsg will remind everyone of the 100million of brand new talent that macallister and Szoboszlai represent. they will just put a thaigo cherry on top of this and start rolling out videos of the exciting new anfield. by the kick off of the the season lfc will have the best established midfield ever and nobody will notice the 50mil net spend and fact anfield road end was paid for by the club itself. fsg will have pulled it off again, the club will be worth 5bil not 4 and they will declared the stadium totally finished and all their doing despite the club paying every ****ing penny itself. and you know we will all be happy cos we'll, klopp and anfield.
I am actually not fussed I have my views he has his I was more bothered about him being sold One of the ones that likes him I have stayed out of the righteous argument I didn’t watch the World Cup I don’t blame Ronaldo or anyone for going I think western culture has done way worse I am happy in my skin and that’s all I can be Not going to judge others I am no saint myself These kind of discussions becoming more and more frequent if I don’t like something I have a choice We all do - atm Wish the ESL had been successful then all the greedy stuff could have gone to another place for a few years till the next batch get greedy
Villa look like signing Diaby from Leverkusen. Does some decent business if they can get Tielemans playing like did couple years ago. Pau Torres is highly regarded and was being linked to far bigger clubs a season ago and now Diaby. If they can keep Watkins firing and get coutinho anywhere near the kind of player he was, they could be a very dangerous side. Jacob Ramsay looks a hell of a player and could really be standout Kamara Luiz Ramsay Tielemans Diaby Watkins
That thought occurred to me - then I dismissed it a nanosecond later. If he wears his rainbows laces he'll get them cut off - around about the knees.
Once Henderson ends homosexual oppression in Saudia Arabia, he will transfer to a Sudanese top flight football club in 2024 to end drought. Then in 2025 he will transfer to China and fight for the Uighurs. He will earn £700k per week, but saving the world is an expensive business.
