Too soon for Henderson to come back?

[FlashGordon]

Everyone's principles are just important enough to forever put a good man down for a bad decision, but not quite important enough to miss the big Heavyweight title fight, The Saudi Grand Prix or the Qatar World Cup matches.

Legs have gone.......

...... Out of the window along with his morals (if he ever had any).

Are you really comparing passive participation in something you can’t control with selling yourself out to it?

I'm saying "passive participation" is where everyone draws the line, which is convenient because that's the only decision that they personally have to make.

I never once heard him say he’d come back to Sunderland before he went to Saudi. He wanted to get into the England Euro squad, it would never happen playing in the championship.

It was said at the time and has been said on this post

Link?
(To where he actually said it, not to where someone on here said he said it).

Try reading back mate, I’m not searching for it as I’ve already read it

Didn't watch any of them and Henderson is still a hypocrite. Good man bad decision my arse.

I would happily passively participate in watching Jordan Henderson in a Sunderland shirt next year.

Which is not the same as making an active decision to support it.

He’s on a two and a half year contract at Ajax, with a salary between £70k to £85k plus bonuses. He’s going to chuck that to join us for comparative pennies? Aye, right.

He’ll be 34 in a couple of weeks, so doesn’t exactly fit “ the model “

He’s playing in Ajax’s worst squad in decades and missed half their games since joining through injury, and he’s lost half a yard of pace.

Even his mate Southgate has said No, I don’t think so to Henderson.

Yes, he was a great young player for us and a hell of a player for Liverpool, but that boat’s sailed.

I’d prefer him not to join us irrespective of his bullshit moral posturing when it suited him.

Sounds like Chinese whispers to me.

I never heard him mention SAFC at all after he left Liverpool never mind saying wages wouldn't be a problem.

The only place I have ever heard that is on here.

No-one has said its the same thing. But it's definitely on the scale given that you could make the decision not to watch.

That’s what I said, “said on here”

 

[AJH88]

I'd have had him back before the Saudi stint happened. It would be very hypocritical of us to take him in after torturing (apt choice of words) the scum up the road for accepting state ownership. We'd lose any moral high ground for an aging player.

 

[Chi boy]

Are all us lads who have worked in Saudi allowed in sol next season .. ?
Dear me .. little cherubs .

 

[one footed wonder]

Saudi links man, do you honestly think clubs would give a shit that he played in Saudi.

I've got good mates that live and work in Saudi, they're top lads, am I meant to disown them because of where their wages come from? It doesn't make them bad people, they're hardly the ones running the country as a making the atrocious decisions.

Then all these people saying his legs have gone are probably the same people saying we should have given Evans another year

I’m not saying you should do anything.

There will be some who would be happy to have him back and others that won’t…..their choice.

As for those people saying his legs have gone wanting Evans for another year, I wouldn’t know as I was happy for us to move Evans on.

It’s a long way behind on the scale, as is using an Uber

A hypocrite who has still done more for charity and good causes than you. These things are never as straightforward as people try to make them. If we were all condemned for any bad decision we made then the whole world would be fucked.

Yeah but you could have chosen not to be on the scale. After that it's just a case of deciding where your personal line is and if that changes for life changing money.

Would be great to get in as an experienced head in the middle of the pitch and would be a fantastic coach for our new manager. But we could not afford his wages.

Surely at his age and the level he's capable of playing at he can't be expecting huge wages.
Yes he's won the PL, CL played in world cups and euros but I don't see any PL clubs fighting for his signature.
His best shout now is in the championship, surely we have more chance than anyone to sign him.
I'm sure he'd be happy to come home, he doesn't need the money realistically so why not

He did lots and it looked good, he could afford to. He joined in the sports washing, he could afford not to.
His choice, my choice, he's a hypocrite.
