Summer '24 transfer window

And since then has took a huge wage from Saudi and played for a huge European club. Even if we offered him a wage above our wage structure, it'll be nowhere near what he could earn by just going to Wolves or something.

Wages were never an issue, he wanted to come home

 

[Late goal Scorer]

He was in talks last summer about coming home

Remember that being rumoured but don’t think there was ever anything concrete.

According to what I was told, he was very very keen on it, we weren't so keen

Come on mate, I just don't believe that at all. If wages weren't at issue why did he go to Saudi?

He took what was on offer? I was told the interest from him was very real. I can't prove or disprove it either way, but I trust the lad that told me

I'm highly sceptical that Sunderland turned down the chance to sign Jordan Henderson from 12 months ago, Liverpool captain, England regular, hometown lad with an outstanding reputation and profile. Especially if wages weren't a problem.

Can't imagine what the problem would have been.

Just passing comment on what I was told last year

Yeah, of course, no shooting the messenger here. Just questioning the message as it seems to defy sense.

He also lost 8m by leaving the Saudi league.

Maybe it will all.come out one day, after all him and his whole family are mad SAFC fans

 

[flandersmackem]

Hendo back at Sunderland with the kids we have would be priceless

 

[SourPatch2]

He also lost 8m by leaving the Saudi league.

And then got a £1.2m signing fee and about £80k a week at Ajax according to reports on a 2.5 year deal.

Are Ajax releasing him? Otherwise how are we going to pay for him this summer? Everything I can find says they want to sell him.

I don't see it as so far fetched or unrealistic as some on here.

Didn't Saudis pay about 10 million for him?

 

[SourPatch2]

Didn't Saudis pay about 10 million for him?

Yeah. Forgot he wasn't a free agent last summer. No way were we going to be able to do that.

 

[young2077]

Yeah I do the same, it's always in my head ge went on a free. But Liverpool wanted the money for him and got a decent fee!

 

[Dorset]

This is a guy who vocally stood up for gay rights and then arguably ended his career to take money from a state that openly executes gay people.

Crossing an arbitrary line from red to blue kind of pales in significance to that.

Pretty sure Jordan Henderson would go to Everton or to Newcastle if it made sense for Jordan Henderson.

There's not a chance in hell that he would sign for the mags in any capacity

 

[CR17]

I’d love us to sign this guy, he’s quite literally the perfect Ross Stewart replacement

Bojan Miovski btw. Don’t think the link worked well

Unsure on him tbh and I don't really see the Stewart comparison. Nowhere near as good as Stewart off the ball defensively and nowhere near as good as Stewart at linking the play, based on both data and eye test.

He'll cost a lot more than that tweet suggests as well.
