It's amazing how quickly his principles disappeared when there was cold hard cash on offer.

I will always be a red !Originally Posted by TWGL1
He's from Sunderland
More clubs than Bellamy ff sake
it seems everyone has his / her / their price
No doubt his agent is preparing some suitable wording for him, along the lines of "... playing here will lead to greater understanding and awareness........."
100%
"Footballers have a short career, securing his family's future blah blah blah..."
Good riddance to the nodding dog.
I knew would take the cash they are all the same, preach one thing, then do another, loads of people like that about.
Most people would.
Thankfully they are not all the same!
Aaron Ramsey Cardiff.jpg
True, he's a Legend
Exactly.
Surely enough for you and your immediate family is enough.
No need to make so much you can keep five generations of your family from doing any work.
Not sure Ramsey who earned a reported 400k a week at Juventus is the best example here.
.
its not the amount he is going to earn, its where it is coming from
I think we all do the same on a daily basis.
We moan about the high street but shop on amazon
We moan about public transport but own a car
Still, I've always thought Jordan Henderson was bit of a **** anyway.
Not a fan of Henderson but I don't know why we give such figures this kind of responsibility, especially when they don't give stuff a lot of thought. He's in a weird, overregarded profession anyway and then has to be a shining beacon of morality. He's probably not homophobic and won't be before and after his time in Saudi. We need to lower expectations.
Is that a Tattoo of a poorly pruned Palm Tree on his arm?
It's no comparison really.
Henderson and basically any other current regular PL player have so much money they can afford to make any choice. Majority of 'normal' people can't.
Yes you can, Bale went for one more big pay deal instead, and Rambo came home to become a Legend
Then moral choices become a privilege of the rich.
You’ll all be eating your words when he organises Pride/Riyadh next summer.
Why do I always get the feeling that when people talk about virtue signalling, it's not so much the person being accused that is the primary point of focus, but the issues that those people have focused on, as some backhanded dismissal.
it must be easier to have a strong moral compass when you earn £200 K a week ( at Liverpool )
Not sure whats more amazing Liverpool were paying him £200 K a week, or the Saudis are going to pay him £700 K a week
I listened to this on the radio this morning - and thought - fake immediately. Sounded like it had been put together like a kid on a gcse PR course.
He doesnt need the money - neither do the rest of them who have gone to fake sheik league for a series of demonstration matches. But yeah - the money's not too bad and hard to resist when you are at the @rse end of your career
None of us know for sure what we would do in his position. I feel slightly negative about it. But I don't really care what Jordan Henderson does. It's not like I ever looked to him for leadership.
