Jordan Henderson (signed for Brentford)

What is the obsession with this place and former players coming back and coaching here? Absolutely lifting reason to sign an over the hill player who probably wanted top wage. I'd rather we used it to sign a player who would push to start every game not sit on the bench

Hendonson is very dedicated and competitive, he would not be happy on the bench. Last season he started 21 of 28 games and was subbed in for the 7 he never started. Europa League he started 13 of 15. My Dutch mate loved him I will add.


His league stats are class, look at the percentiles.

Europa League stats are very good too, so he can still do it at a high level

Brentford have got a very good player for about 7-8 million (my estimate based on current wages and signing on fee), not a bad fee when they'll get 2 seasons out of him.

No I’m not. You’re creating a daft argument to hide the fact that you would do it. The bloke was looking at the end of his career and beyond that with no certain income. You’d have done exactly the same

If Jordan Henderson, after the career he's enjoyed, hasn't made so much money, and invested/been advised how to maximise his wealth, so that he's created enough cash to provide for him, his children and generational wealth that will keeps his grandkids comfortable than he must thicker than a dockers butty. Millions a year in wages alone for the last 10+yrs at least? That's without all his additional revenue streams.
 
If nothing else if he's not here, and we go on a bit of a bad run at least we won't have the endless threads that would say we should make him player manager

He wanted to come last summer, we messed him about he went to Ajax. Even if KS came out in the press and said we were 100% interested, there was only a slim chance it would ever happen. The relationship was already soured.

Reading between the lines there was nothing in it bar the above.

From the stuff put on here over the past year by people who know him he made contact with the club, but something may or may not have happened with Speakman that soured the relationship and the discussions stalled.

He went elsewhere and there's been no contact from either him to the club or the club to him since.
 
100k a week for two years is a lot for a club in transition like us

Not saying it would happen in a million years but being the difference between being able to sign Garcia for instance it’s a no brainer

Why is it a "daft" argument, just because it disagrees with yours man?

He was wealthy beyond wealthy before he left Scouseland.

He didn't need the money, and he pissed all over every principle he had stood for by going.

I would not have done the same in his position.

Don't judge everyone by your own questionable standards.

Everything's a daft opinion or behaviour if he wouldn't do it himself man, didn't you know?

How do those stats compare to Norgaard?
 
dcl0sc said:
Never said that at all. It was said wages would be an issue and he would play for buttons. He just wanted out of Saudi and to come home. I'm sure a vast bulk of his Saudi wages bought out his contract so he could leave.

It was heavily reported when he left Saudi that he wouldn't come to the UK for tax reasons.

He should buy Ferryhill then.

Agreed but wealth is subjective. Plenty end up bankrupt.
